This is no doubt due to the fact that our gang of NorCal Baja Boyz have just returned from the annual 10 day trek.
The shortage, due to their excessive consumption, is no doubt rippling through the economy, even as we sit here.
The #1 goal of "The Boyz" has always been to 'drink Baja dry'
Perhaps this time they succeeded!

In four days over the Semana Santa holiday, Loreto people bought 75,000 Tecate beers...A new record for Loreto.
It's a boom town!

I remember the 1972 Playboy college review. They rated schools for "partying capacity'. They footnoted the whole thing by saying that they had only
rated the amature party schools; not included were Arizona State and University of Wyoming which were considered "professional" party schools.
I went to Wyoming 
But you guys keep on trying !

Caguamas are 940 ml. Caguamas are still only 16 pesos, unless you go to the Vistal al Mar, where you get them for a special gringo price of 17 pesos.
I agree with paul r " who cares about the damn gas price". The price of beer affects me a whole lot more than the price of gas.

In 1955------------
------on the beach at San Carlos Bay, Sonora, my friends and I paid 11 cents USA each for Carta Blanca beers. By the way, this was at a Semana Santa
Mexican party attended by only Mexican ranchers, and their families (and the two of us), and there were absolutely no buildings anywhere around the
bay at that time----------simply beautiful!!!!!

I bet it WAS beautiful. In 1955 I was in kindergarten so didn't think much about beer then.
I wonder what Mulege was like in 1955? Or Loreto or La Paz or Cabo?

San Felipe was the farthest south I got in 1955-----
-------and it was neat!!! No pavement, town was sleepy and dusty, and only about 6 blocks wide back from the beach. We camped within walking distance
of downtown behind some huge dunes, with the gulf just on the other side of the dunes. There was nothing but more dunes and salt flats south of us for
as far as I could see. A kilo of fresh shrimp was $2.80 US. If there was any police in the town we did not see them. It was like the wild west in
say, 1880, and boy did we have fun there, as did the Mexican fishermen we became friends with. I was 17 then.

Price of anything... always goes up... who would'a ever thunk that my house in CA purchased in 1994 for under $200K would be worth in excess of $800K
today. Everything is relative! 67-cents for a Baja beer is OK in my mind!

Well dang...I remember at the first Mc Donalds in Downey you could get a cheeseburger and fries for 15 cents....1960's. Late 70's Cabo San Lucas case
of Coronas were 2.50...the return bottle deposit was 5.00. Gas was 33 cents a gallon and I could fill my VW for 3.00. Those days are asta la vista.
Don\'t get mad...

What Price Increase ??
This a.m. I bought (3) cases of Corona Extra at the Distributor across from the Miramar Bar (next to Mercado Baja) and the price was 125 pesos por
caja, the same as the last few months. Maybe the increase was some Spring Break Gouging. Thankfully, gasoline was also the usual April price rather
than the 8.27/8.80 pesos por litro last weekend in Mexicali.
I,too, remember 15 cent MacDonalds hamburgers. Heck, I remember burgers at 10 cents, 12 for a dollar all over town. I also remember not having that
dollar at times. When I was a young surfer living in Manhattan Beach, beer was $1.05 for a sixpack. Coke was more expensive. We were really put out
when it went to $1.25. When I married my second wife, Ground Chuck was 49 cents per pound in the supermarket, BUT we waited until it went on sale for
29 cents to buy it. Like a friend of mine once said, "I remember not being able to even think about buying a steak when I was young and now I could
eat Steak every night if I felt like it".

I paid $14 for a case of Pacificos (20) from the distributor just north of Gaviotas on Tuesday. But today I paid $9.99 for 18 buds at Albertsons in
Encinitas. Actually make that $19.98 for 36 buds (I can`t pass up a beer bargain!).
