- Well, I decided to try the Negra Modelo at a restaurant last night. I
- was very impressed. Not a great, fantastic or gotta have beer, but it
- was definitely not the ashtray beer I was warned about. I'm glad
- folks here encouraged me to try it.

- I was wondering about this one, too. Is it possible that Modelo isn't
- actually masculine. I seem to recall there were a few nouns that had
- strange endings on them. I think agua is one of them. It's been too
- long since I've studied Spanish, though.
