Modelo Chope in La Paz
I'll reveal where in a restaurant review when we've had a chance to eat there, but who has had it and where. We've only found it in Merida, and I
drink beer everywhere I go!

Looks like this is a draft beer that is sometimes bottled. I have never seen or tried it but I'm always willing to sample it.
I think the world is run by C- students.

We've had it over here on the mainland for a few months.
Why dont you cruise on across the pond to the new marina in Guaymas? They serve it at the new restaurant/bar there; Club Nautico.
Your Escalera Nautica dollars at work.........................
Still prefer Bohemia Oscura to ALL other Mexican beers, including Leon, Noche Buena, Neg. Modelo, El Indio (also on tap over here).

Hook, do you see 'Victoria' over there? One of my friends from Oaxaca says it is just like Pacifico...? I have my doubts...

Victoria is way better than Pacifico, in my opinion. It's available here in La Paz and I've had it on tap in Guadalajara. On a recent trip along the
Mexico Pacific coast we found Victoria sold from Puerto Vallarta south.

One of the oldest, if not the oldest beer in Mexico. It's an amber so I don't know how it could be compared to Pacifico. I like it OK but I
think XX amber is way better.
Modelo Chope is Modelo Especial in the barrel.

Well, Victoria IS an import from Central America but clearly not the one discussed here.

Did you know there's a 'Baja beer' and it's brewed in Guatemala?

I might as well try the Victoria down here and cross that one off my list. Since Grupo Modelo is about the only brewery in my area continuing to
service the returnable, 355 ml size bottle, I should be able to trade some old Corona bottles I have (VERY old) for some Victorias.
Been drinking some Noche Buenas for the last few days...........man, that beer is muy fuerte! 5.9%. Usually I like to drink beer for the flavor and
not get a buzz. Hard to do with these beers.

I don't agree with you, but if you're buying...

The Corona distributor here in Loreto sold Victoria for a few months. Must not have caught on, since it disappeared.
It's a popular beer in Mexico's interior. Drank a bit of it in Guanajuato, but don't recall it to be a dark beer. Pretty much like a cheap
Pacifico.
Still looking for Dos Equis Ambar here in Baja.
