I think I made my point. So just wanted to give you reason to post inasmuch as you live to diss me.

A buddies dad turned me onto Heilemann's special import in the early 80's. Terrific beer, is it still around? I haven't seen it in a long time.

Darn it, I'm in TJ at a friend's house that I stay at a lot and just went to OXXO for some beer and running on auto pilot pulled out of the cooler a 6
pack of Tecate Lite, 78 pesos.
Maybe tomorrow I'll remember to buy some Lagunitas. Maybe........
Nice afternoon in "playas" as the neighborhood is called. Partial marine layer, mid-70s. Beers on the terrace on the bluff overlooking the ocean,
south of the bullring.

I got completely enamored of it in the '80s. From what I understand the company went out of business by 2000-ish.
Damnit. Great suds, warm or cold; the perfect river-runner's ale. 
AHA!!!!

READ ON AND WEEP. Of course, related to Stroh's, yet another bye-gone brew bereft of well-bred beer-meisters. May I also note the presence of PBR;
good pizza-beer and informal football nosh..... and when you're out of Pabst, tough Shlitz.
*sniff* Onward, IPA lovers.

Talk to me when they start carrying Deschutes beers.
Best beers on the planet ( that I have traveled). A really good option is Minerva pale ale from guadalajara. Just a pain to have it shipped from the
mainland, but worth it.
Going now to taste the Lagunitas at OXXO who only has sold really crappy beer (Tecate products) so far.
Dang OXXO has ran all the mom and pop Pacifico stores out of business. Sorry, that would be another thread.

I wonder if this includes their Aunt Sally beer!?!?

The SAME boiling water that softens the potato hardens the egg. It's about what you are made of NOT the circumstance.

When knocking down boilermakers what difference does it make? Even a Pacifico or Coors will do.

Which Oxxo?
This is great news. Lagunitas is a legit good beer. Anyone yapping about this beer and that beer is better is just blabbering. It's pretty good and
more importantly it's great to have more IPAs available in Mexico.
