Has anyone else had trouble getting Pacifico in 355ml bottles, outside of a restaurant?

JZ - 2-22-2016 at 05:19 PM

woody with a view - 2-22-2016 at 05:55 PM

Hey CJ- Doesn't hurt to support our landlords store at Rancho Grande? Always cold cases of Pacifico and more available. I know you know this. No matter what DKook the once- twice a year visitor says in his recent slander- this is the only Oasis within hours between nowhere and somewhere on this side and our Rancho Grande crew has and will help out just as much and more as his sponsored Baja Cactus infomercial over the Mountain will.

There was a Pacifico shortage here a few weeks ago!?!?!

A store in SF with Pacifico.....

Go north on the malecon and when you turn left at the end, go left on the first street you can. There is a store with a big Pacifico sign on the right!

Save me some!

Beeer

Close... It is north of the Rockodile on Av. Mar De Cortes Sur, I believe. It is about where the word "Sur" is on your map or maybe a little north of there....I'm 99% sure that is where it is. I can always find it when I'm there! It is a small store that always has a good supply of Pacifico!

Ok, I found it on the "street view" on your map. The pic shows Corona and Bud Light, but I swear I saw a Pacifico sign there...it is an old pic from Sept. 2009...

I dont think I've been in downtown SF since the late 80s or early 90s. What is that pedestrian structure headed out to that building with the faro?

That's a pedestrian bridge to a now abandoned night club which prior to that was the ice house for the shrimp boats. You can also walk up passed the building to the lighthouse on the bluff. There is a restaurant there (never tried it, has anyone?) as well as a shrine. Nice view of SF and the bay from the shrine

The Wide World of Beer

MrBillM - 2-25-2016 at 10:46 AM

One person's tasty Brew is another's trashy.

Which accounts for the hundreds (or thousands ?) of varieties worldwide.

Some of which are SO bad that most wonder "W-T-F" or "WHO the Hell would drink this" ?

Personally, I "like" most Mexican Beers (some more than others) with a limited few exceptions. Pacifico is Good, but (in my experience) it leaves an aftertaste.

It's simply that I like other Brews MORE and the limited volume consumed means that cost and availability isn't a factor for me.

I have to say that my recent sampling of Stella Artois has been enjoyable, though, with it's "milder" than Steinlager or Heineken taste, it stays in third.

BTW, speaking of BAD taste, the FACT that, aside from two Chinese Brews which enjoy their status due to China's HUGE population, the BEST selling beer in the WORLD is...................

"Bud Light".

W-T-F ?

I have always had adverse reactions (mostly headaches) to the flagship Anheiser Busch products (Bud, Bud Light) but I can't really fault them for flavor, as mass-produced American lagers go. They are fairly well balanced beers. Certainly more flavor than the biggies from Miller-Coors.

But those adverse reactions keep me away.

Bud Light seems to be selling REALLY well in Mexico with the younger, hip, upwardly mobile Mexican middle class. I wouldnt be surprised if it's the largest selling import beer in Mexico..........by far, really.

Stella is really a nice beer.

I looked at a can of Bud Light(not mine) the other day, not imported. Hencho en Mexico and a really small Modelo logo. Beer consolidation these days, you don't know who makes what and it's all the same, semi-tolerable bland.

Other than China.

Including Stella.
