Any ideas?

Dear FireGirl:

My name is Tim Weiner, and I am a reporter for The New York Times based in 
Mexico City. I am writing a story about the origin, meaning and mystery of 
the Michelada, that indescribably delicious concoction, known to few 
gringos, made of beer, served over ice, with lime, Worchestershire sauce, 
Maggi, Tabasco, soy, pepper and salt. (Though wimps make it from only lime 
and salt).

Have you in your experience ever heard of the Michelada? Tasted one? Do you 
have any idea where the drink was born, and when, and why?

Any and all thoughts and theories would be welcome.
Thanks
Tim Weiner
