Funny, I was just talking to a buddy who lives in Mexicali and he was talking about how his new favorite beer is Lagunitas.
In that pre-Google Earth and social media epoch, The Code was adhered to. It was based on a simple verity: if a locale had been transformational for
you, and you had put the hard yards in to get there and to learn it, to know it, why in god�s name would you broadcast the news, thus ruining the
future experience not only for yourself, but for future adventurers?

Interesting. Oxxo is owned by FEMSA which is a company owned by Heinekin International, That also owns Coca Cola of Mexico. They may control half of
the beer brands in the world. So much for anyone talking about craft beer. Heinekin owns half of Lagunitas.

Make your own craft beer, it's pretty easy

Your math is off. They own 50%. Just don't know what autonomy they have from one of the biggest brewery conglomerates in the world.
I recall the days in Mexico when there were so many different independent breweries in so many towns such as Mazatlan or Tecate, Monterrey or even
Mexico City.
Now, there are maybe three companies that control almost all of the beer in the world.

The big Brewers sell a lot of swill. Bud, Miller, corona, pacifico, etc. it is undrinkable swill.. The beer available in most of Baja is mostly
swill, right inline with the big Brewers biz model of selling swill to rubes that only look for a cheap buzz.
For Baja, Bring better beer from USA, as the Baja craft scene hasn't yet made it to prime time
When I was 18 years i old drank rainier, oly, beer-beer, schlitz, mickeys big mouth, and colt 45. Can't believe I admit to any of the that... I do
miss rainier for its tV commercials. Who killed rainier?

The big companies buying up all the world's breweries are smart cookies. There will ALWAYS be a growing market for beer (((((hic))))) 
I'll have to try Lagunitas, but if it is expensive I'll be back to Tecate Lite. I know, I know, no taste but I like it.

Maybe you should come down to Baja once in a while and check out the craft brewers
