The most useless....


...have to be these teeny-tiny, itsy-bitsy, wee little bottles. Hardly enough to wet the whistle.

Would a US style Micro brewery be allowed in Baja?? Do not have the means or experience to do it...just would like to know.
I may have asked this before...or was I just thinking about it:lol:

Al....
I think we had a thread about this recently but it's fun to kick it around occasionally what with CRS and all that stuff. Easier than research.
I kinda remember the question back then but don't remember the amswer. There's a new brewery in Tijuana that makes a beer with that name. Don't know if it's technically a micro-brewery.
Anyway, I can't remember anything.

There is a micro brewery opening in San Jose next to Bhan Thai.
I will report on it after it opens.

Locally around Northern Nevada the past couple of weeks the mercados have been having some killer sales on Mexican beer. Tecate, 18-12oz cans for $9.99. Tecate Light, 18-12oz cans for $8.99. Twelve packs of Corona, Pacifico, Modelo Especial 12oz bottles, $10.99.:wow:
The usual price for these beers is usually around 2 bucks more than the sale prices.
Does Pennsylvania still have that weird law about only buying 6 packs at the local Cantina and if you want a case you have to go to the Agencia?:o

Judy, I was so hoping so, because most Saturdays I enjoy tasting new beers. I buy a different 6 pack of something almost every week...one of my great pleasures that I would miss a lot. If they are opening a new one in Del San Jose, it will not be long before they have them CSL...TS...and La Paz.

Dennis, won't be stopping in TJ to taste beer...risk is to high for me...now if I get a tour with FTD or a Nomad bus tour, I wouldn't feel my life and possessions would be at stake.

Bajajorge...Your prices are same as mine except Corona is 2 bucks more and Especial is 1 buck cheaper in !2 packs...

Yep, sitting on the front porch, listening to Sirius Blues, looking out to the bay with fresh fish on the bbq, and enjoying a cold one....nothing better unless I've got amigos with me.

Zac...My ideals are the same and if, my deal goes through with Shari...(got blindsided with a tax issue and SS) I will trade beer with you...if mine is good...I am a newbie at beer making. I like Porter and stouts, but lately I have been impressed with Boston Lager style.

Ahhh, this thread about beers brings back many memories. Yes there was a XXX and it was a pale beer. Dos Equis (XX) used to be available only in the Amber and thus XXX was born. Lamentable, because it used to be good. While we are on the subject of beer, growing up as I did in Arizona we had some local favorites that are long gone. Anyone remember Falstaff and A-1 ? How about PBR (Pabst Blue Ribbon) and the really cheap one from my college days KOL? That stuff was really bad but when you are a broke college kid, you'll drink anything you can get your hands on. How about HAMMS? Some of you will remember the commercials at least.

How about :
Mable, Black Label
Carling, Black Label Beer.

Hated the stuff; the commercial stuck.
Did drink my share of PBR's. Probably would make me gag now.

Al
I hope that the brewery is open soon but you know how that goes. Rode by yesterday and it didnt look any different than it did 3 weeks ago....

"From the land of sky-blue waa-aa-ter.........waa-aa-ter!" Had bears in the commercials, didn't they?

Sure I remember Falstaff......Schlitz.........Lucky Lager..........Olympia...........Stroh's.

PBR is still on tap at Ole's in San Clemente, for you south OC guys. Good, cheap beer for enlisted Marines.

Don't forget Rainer--one of the good cheap beers--still made by Miller Brewing in the old Olympia brewery plant for distribution by the current owner Pabst(HQ in San Antonio, eh, but not sold in Texas--wah!)...
