Anyone seen this beer in Baja?
I was accosted at my local IPA dispensary in SD yesterday by a cutie dressed in traditional Mexican garb who asked if I'd try a new import. The
mini-skirt prolly affected my decision to sample the beer!
It ain't 1/2 bad!

You can find it most everywhere in Tj, Ensenada, Mexicali or Tecate, as long the store sells Modelo beers.
ESTRELLA http://www.estrellajalisco.com/#our-beer is a light Guadalajara local beer http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/75/11702/, now sold most all over (?) great with tortas ahogadas or birria from Jalisco, you may also
want to try VICTORIA a slightly darker beer...

I haven't seen it in the rosarito/ensenada area but here's some reviews that sound like they had to come from bajablowhard beer aficionado's!

Nice shot Carlosg, I hope to someday find that Corona Familiar in 12 oz bottles. Where did you find those ? I have only been able to find the big
ones.
I was Sooooo disappointed to find that our new Modelorama in BA wasn't carrying Corona Familiar either.

Normally would not pay much attention to posts re:beer, but I'm beginning to develop some beer-buds (taste buds for beer sampling) thanks to
inheriting shares of a local craft beer business my dad left as part of his trust. He invested with them decades ago- fun place to visit with friends.
Even more fun to tell the servers I'm a partner!
(thanks dad! you always knew how to encourage people to enjoy life.)

You can find it most anywhere that Modelo beers are sold: Oxxo, Soriana, groceries and liquor stores, your local Modelorama, etc... just remember
these are returnable bottles.
Sorry, I think your talking about the dark bottle aren't you? Those I've only seen and bought in the mainland or as my relatives say: en el sur... But
in lieu try Victoria, similar I can say.

Have you seen the Corona Mega? Like the Pacifico Ballenon, taller than the familiar.. They don't fit in my console cup holder, no sirve
