Drake's Imperial Stout


I am drinking one of the finest beers I have ever had.
Drake's Brewery is in Oakland. It is called Imperial Stout.
Are stouts brewed in Mexico?

XXX Oscuro may have qualified as one, but I think it's gone. Negra modelo is almost but not really a stout. Maybe Klosters in Monterrey makes one, but I'm not sure.



All my childhood I wanted to be older. Now I\'m older and this chitn sucks.

Not a true stout. There are a couple of nice porters, though. Potro & Caballero Aguila.

Not even close. And if you like Negra modelo you'll love TJ's Morena.

Make it worth my while and we'll bring the carboy and bottling supplies to Mulege in January !! We brew both an awsome stout and a porter ! And a light, crispy amber that is great cold with or without the lime !

I need to get a grip ! It's only 8:30 am !! :lol:

I'm currently fermenting some Pinot Noir. Would I be invited?
I went to Czech Republic and Germany this last summer. Talk about some excellent brews!! Has anyone ever made their own tequila?

Mexican chocolate and some mild smoked peppers along with a few special ingredients will do the trick. Varying quantites and yeast makes the porter/stout difference.

Now I gotta talk the wife into letting me pack the supplies ! :lol:

Maybe I can do the warts and bring bubbling carboys to Mulege.
I would bring some bottled but the dang security guards would probably steal it. :?::no::yes:

Noche Buena is great. It's all over the place north of the border during holiday season. I remember where I was Christmas day. 1978. Sitting on a curb in Capistrano Beach, drinking a Noche Buena.
Expand your search .... you'll find it.

The closest thing I have found to a stout in Mexico is Leon Negra available in the Yucatan peninsula.
http://www.ratebeer.com/beer/leon-negra/4957/

I'll be going to the Yucatan this winter, and I am looking forward to finding some. I remember that the quality was not too consistant from batch to batch, but now it is under the Corona label. I like Sierra Nevada Stout and Porter myself. The very best dark ale I have ever found was Porter on tap at River City Brewery in the mall in downtown Sacramento.

Probably not a problem if you didn't try to sell it. Who might care?

As much beer that I drink, if I started brewing my own Pacifico brewing would collapse.
