This is not a Chelada, which is made with a salted rim, lime juice and beer with some ice cubes. The recipe shown here is a Michelada, including some kind of additional tomato juice.

Wonderful recipe! I used Lone Star Beer and substituted Habanero Tabasco for the boring regular sauce. It turned out great!
