That most-welcome harbinger of the holiday season, sightings of Noche Buena, has occurred in Sonora. It is similar to some amber ales you find in the
States. It's taste profile is somewhere between Bohemia Clara and Bohemia Obscura. It is brewed in Bohemia facilities, as it has had the Bohemia name
on it for the last few years
It arrived at a Walmart, sometime in the past five days, as other aficionados of this beer reported none there, five days ago.
The last two years it has had a very brief run of 1-2 weeks before it disappeared well before even American Thanksgiving. That's a pretty poor showing
for a beer with a Christmas theme all over the boxes. I'm thinking Bohemia must shift some of their brewing capacity over to NB for a short time;
hence the labeling on the box proclaiming it "Limited Edicion 2016".
Anyway, 166 pesos for 12 bottles. Stock up if you see it. Anyone seen it in other communities yet? Baja? Mainland, south?
On an NOB beer note, I came through AZ much later than usual this year (early Nov) and found many seasonal beers had been released that arent around
in early October. Most notable was the excellent Founders Breakfast Stout. Very limited release; pick some up if you are NOB. |
