Noche Buena Cerveza- IT'S HERE FINALLY!!!!!!....Mulege at least
Mercado Pinguine today. Proof that the Holidays are actually here-
And in true Mexican marketing form, it's not in the isle as a feature display and it's not in the beer cooler case either. Of course not- you have to
ask the cashier who then calls out to someone who then goes outback and brings it in
Things are expensive, but at least we get a free trip around the sun once a year

It hit the stores here 3 or 4 weeks back at 149 Ps per 12. Noticed yesterday the price has fallen to 135. In 2 more weeks, it will probably be down
to 100. After the holidays, if they have any left, it could go as low as 75.
There are large displays of it here in all the big stores.
Qué Yummy.

of the blue and says, "i have 12 of your babies. do as i say and they won't get hurt!"
needless to say, i followed orders.......

of cortez and the pacific! haha

It's good as far as I'm concerned. I don't know how it would stand up against other craft brews or under the scope of Peter Rowe, the craft beer
authority in San Diego.
It's dark...it's a little heavy, a bit sweet and filling. I can drink a couple on a good day, then I have to fall back on a more watery brew like
Tecate Lite or Sol.

Thanks !
Thanks, Dennis.
Growing up with an Irish Grandad, I thought Guiness and Murphy's were basic food groups . . . . . so I like something with a little more heft and
pzzzang to it.
Someone in LTO want to pick me up a 6 or 12 and save it for me til March when I'm down ? ? Of course, "I will gladly pay you Tuesday for a hamburger
today!"

djh - if you like dark beers (as I do - wish we had Guinness and Murphy's on tap here at the ranch), you will like another special brew - the Negro
Modelo 85th anniversary beer. Not as sweet as the Noche Buena.
