my 2 cents: cold beverages always taste better in a bottle relative to a can!

According to my Baja travel Bud....beer stays fresher in a can. BTW he is a vice president of Miller Brewing Co.

Carta Blanca


Carta Blanca was always my beer of choice as a youngster surfing K-38/54/other places in the 70's 80's. My buddy and I stopped at every liquor store on a trip to San Quintin a few years ago (OK< not every store) and couldn't find it. The only place that has it is Bev Mo, and they get a kick out of my story. Anyone know where to buy it traveling down hwy 1 or what the heck happened to it in Baja. Seems Tecate has a monopoly and whoa, Bud Lite - come on!

Not if CBP finds it. You only get to (legally) bring back one liter if you live in California

Back in the early days it seemed we'd always run out of ice before the trip was over so we became connoisseurs of warm beer----Superior was the best warm while Tecate was awful. We also, in desperation and far from civilization(eh, liquor store), tried Welch's grape juice mixed with Orendain Tequila---still can't get that taste out of my mind ;)

Is this where we recall memories of XXX (Tres Equis) or the original Mexicali Beer? How about the Carta Blanca bottles with the cap remover molded into the bottom of their glass bottles (had to buy at least two)!:light:

Give me a cold bottle or give me death. While on the subject of bottles; does anyone know the true return deposit for Corona in Ensenada? Last time the Agency across from Costco wanted six cases of empties for one new full case.

I don't know of anyone who messes with the deposit bottles anymore except bars. They are a PITA.

Dennis you at least you know of one now. Since the price of a case of Corona (returnables) is the same at Costco without paying a deposit whunot return them. It's good recycling, and free beer is always good. Keeping a empty case box for empties maybe a PITA for you but simple enough for me. Besides PITA is a word reserved for that weird pocket bread.
back to the the question. Does anyone know what the deposit is on Corona bottles?

"why is Pacifico so much better in a can than the bottle?"


Can't say I agree with the original poster's opinion.

I vote bottle for taste, can for boating and other misc. activities.

Pacifico isn't my favorite beer, it isn't even in the top ten, unless I am in Baja. I prefer ales over lagers. If a want a lager type beer I'll pick a good Pilsner like Pilsner Urquell.

Drinking beer out of a can is like drinking wine out of a plastic cup, IMO.

It's all good...even Tecate Rojo that once upon a time would be a lobotomy in a can.

I sorta think I like keg beer better. Foamy creamy head on the mug. No heating applied before bottling or canning. Why microbrewery pubs are doing so well in Mexico.

Tecate, Pacifico, Crown, all of them sell beer by the keg. The trick is finding out where.

I've tried many cervezas and my preference is Montejo, or Negro Leon. Both are from Yucatan. All the others taste like Budweiser to me.

Carta Blanca is my favorite brew but no matter what beer I drink I like it way better in a bottle.
