They're very different. Upthread, you described yourself as having not
liked beer until you went to England, and called yourself a "non-beer drinker."
Negra Modelo is good, but it's still commercial beer. I'd never put it in
the same tier as Sierra Nevada Pale Ale, which is the archetypal American
good beer, like Budweiser (or Bud Light) is the archetypal American bad beer.
