Mexican beer talk

i like the clara, just for the supposed weight benefits.

however, i do still have a 12 pack of the Noche Buena circa 2006 gonna ration that bad-boy until next season, I HOPE!!!!

btw, rite aid is THE cheapest place for beer in san diego (considering gas prices and travel times)....got a 30 pack of tkt yesterday for $17 and sometimes its $15. not the best beer, but hey, this is a thread about CHEAP beer!

ima drinka not a conosuer (sp?)

so then i guess i'll take it with me this thursday night when we head south for the weekend..............

Noooooooo, it might be to late by then, there isn't a long border wait, I can be in OB in less than 45 minutes and help you dispose of them, I'm willing to miss Heroes tonight.

Hey Hook,

I AGREE with you, DOS EQUIS AMBER is a great tasting Cerveza. IMHO, it's even better when you drink it out of a chilled beer glass. I always keep a couple in the freezer on standby.

And you and Woody are both right about Rite-Aide. Their beer prices are great. Even when not on sale, they're usually lower than most other chains. I often can buy Pacifico there for $8.99 a 12 pack. In other chain stores, it can be almost double that.

And to WOODY...As Dennis said, DRINK the Noche Buena VERY SOON. Beer is only at it's best for about 90-100 days, and maybe less if it's gotten too warm or been allowed to get warm and cool off over and over. If it's kept in a refrigerator, it will be better for a bit longer. Sometimes, when it has deteriorated, if you shake it up a bit, you'll see pieces of gunk that have formed as part of the deterioration process. At that point, it's history for sure.

Here's to raising a cold one!

Noche Buena

OK Dennis.....we need to get serious this weekend. I have a 12 pack in my fridge that I bought in December

If any of you can visit the Tijuana Brewery, I highly recommend that treat! Located right below Ferna's house (note the drip irrigation tube leading down the hill with Ferna's mouth on one end)!

Awesome dark beer... a Czekoslovakian brewmaster at the controls...

Simone said "Fernando, that's a pretty good depiction of you actualy"

Dos Equis Amber and Bohemia have always been my favorite Mexican beers. Unfortunately we can´t get it here in Baja Sur. The Modelo and Pacifico distributers have a monopoly here. Pacifico doesn´t cut it for me, and any clara is too much like gringo (Bud, Coors) beer.....blech! (yes, it is spelled correctly....if I had belched, that would have depicted satisfaction).

Bohemia is real tastey.

anyone tried that Dia beer?

its good.
bet i could drink a casadia........

That's because When Pacifico was bought out by whoever, could have been BUD, it became a milder beer. Totally new recipe.

Anyone, who never drank a Mexican beer before the "seventies" can't be a cano-sewer of Mexican beer.

Have a BUD LITE on me.

LIFE SUCKS!

Not Mexican, BUT............

German Beer, Russian Beer.........

My overall favorite beer is actually a Japanese beer. I love Sapphoro.

Damn, did we actually win WWII?

Hope you can handle real beer.

About sexy beer girls:

They'll have their work cut out if they want to compete with the Germans.

The 2007 St. Pauli Girl (as seen below) is the prettiest of the St. Pauli Girls in my opinion. But I still like the real German girl I posted above better. It takes a good girl to be able to hold 5 steins like she does.

Steins??????........what steins????

St. Pauli Girls

I liked all the S.P. girls from 1982-1985. They looked MUCH BETTER on their posters than in the pictures link I posted above.

A new one every year?

If only life were like that.

Carta Blanca

Anyone know definitively where regular Carta Blanca is sold in Baja? Far better than other Mex beers. Haven't seen it for years, except in a little village store south of Mazatlan. 40 pesos for a sixpack - no deposito! Shoulda cleaned out the cooler ...
Oh well.

Hook, you just knew this was going to happen. Post a thread on a topic like "BEER" and you will get many many hits!

Hook,

Your story reminds me of fishing at Palmas at the East Cape. When I was ordering our lunch and drinks for the next day, I usually ordered 6 beers, a couple of sodas and some bottled waters for each of us. I would over hear other guys ordering a CASE of beer for EACH of them.

It always made me wonder how they could fish after drinking so much beer...and WHY...there were no reports of them falling overboard!!!! LOL

Bohemia's my favorite brew down Baja way.

I've seen these German girls hauling 12 of those big 1-litre jugs of beer, in one haul, stacked on top of each other, and then slam them on the table and not spill a drop! What great memories. Bob H

Yeah, but how are they with the bratwurst.............

German v. Mexican

Being largely from Germanic stock (and lots of other things), grandma always told me there have been lots of good reasons for leaving Germany over the years. From uppity princes, to belligerent Kaisers to nutty Fuhrers, Germans have provided the largest number of immigrants to other countries.

Well, until recently, when it became acceptable to ILLEGALLY immigrate.

Thank God they brought their beer with them.

Forgot one other light brew I like.....Imperial from Costa Rica. Saw bottled cases at a Costco recently. I think it was also started by immigrating Germans.

Spaten is excellent, Jorge! Not too hoppy like so many German beers seem to be.

I hear ya on the 3 finger rule for Pacifico. I'd also alter the rule to a 32° +/- 2°. Pacifico is rank unless very cold.

mexican v. german selections

bajadock! Decisions. I'm unable to make up my mind. Maybe I like 'em all.

Yes, they look pretty good, but can they carry and serve 5 steins full of beer? If not, they probably can't do much in the line of yard work or anything else like that either. So in that case, I'd shy from starting anything long-term with any of them. On second thought, the 3rd one from the left looks good and healthy - so she might be the better choice.

I'd say, "Honey, you know that it's technically illegal for me to do any kind of work here in Mexico, so would you be a dear and mix up another batch of concrete?"
