Noche Buena


Stacks of 12 pack Noche Buena everywhere here in La Paz.
110 pesos at Walmart and 105 at City Club.
Will fill the trunk, since it's usually hard to find in Loreto.
Maybe different this year.:?::?:
Somehow it reminds me of European beer.
Anyone knows why it's only available during the holidays ?:?:

It's a Christmas beer. Kind of like you can only get Oktoberfest beer around October....:yes:

Quote:
The only Christmas beer in Mexico, Noche Buena is a dark, full-bodied premium brew with a strong, distinctive flavor. True beer connoisseurs await its release every year between the months of October and December, when its rich custom-crafted qualities provide the perfect complement to the holiday spirit. Emblazoned with the festive Poinsettia (or Noche Buena) flower, this brand inspires those who enjoy it to give their best during the holidays by delivering the best quality and taste available in a dark beer.

ED...When you, or whoever, pass by my place, stop by and I'll give you my Noche Buena. I have leftovers and that brew does little for me. Plus I wouldn't know a beer connoisseur from a barfly.

(I'm more of a vodka martini drinker these days...shaken not stirred... like Dave.) ;D

But just to be sure, I better try another NB right now....

Roger, careful, as too many Noche Buenas can lead to Buenas Noche - I speak from experience.

I don't know, Dave. Usually it leads to hardware for me. All fun.

Probably because "Noche Buena" means "Christmas Eve" in Spanish.

I think he's referring to a certain 2' tall ceramic sculpture.

Maybe not.

Usually not. I meant 80 proof. I had my day with the ordinance. A lot of days.

The reason for it being a seasonal beer, they clean out the vats at the end of the year to start the process over, sometimes some is more thick than others.

Pure legend. The vats are cleaned on a regular basis. Tecate prides itself on going from grain to bottle in a whopping 16 days. And not just any grain...they use the cheapest money can buy. ;D

Is Noche Buena just pretty Tecate? I don't read labels.

Having tasted the real deal, I know it ain't bock beer. I'm sure there's probably a lot of chemical monkey business going on, too. However, Tecate does market a damn good dark beer...Bohemia obscura. Good stuff.

And I know what you mean about reading labels. After the first dozen or so, who can focus?

I've been a fan of Bohemia for years. Strong though. It was our only bottled beer at Alley West in Newport in the sixties.
Is there an alternate to Bohemia Oscura? I mean, a lighter model? I wasn't aware of that.

Well, you could always drink less.

Silly me... forget I said that.

Pointed noggin',
I know what it means, but just curious to know why,when this beer is liked so much, it isn't brewed year around.
