And now for some REALLY GOOD News !!!
Beer is back: the new normal means the drought is over,
From "Mexico News Daily,
https://mexiconewsdaily.com/news/coronavirus/beer-is-back-th...
Retailers announce that beer is back on the shelves
Published on Tuesday, June 2, 2020
Although most of the country remains in the red on the government’s stoplight system for the reactivation of the economy, beer is back in production
and on the shelves in several areas after a two-month drought.
Grupo Modelo halted production at the beginning of April, as beer was not considered an essential product by the federal government during the
quarantine period, which ended on May 30.
Beer production and sales resumed on Monday in various states, as well as in Mexico City, where Grupo Modelo has a brewery. The company also owns and
operates the world’s largest beer plant in Zacatecas, the only state in the country not in the red on the reactivation stoplight.
Supermarket chain Soriana and the convenience stores OXXO and 7-Eleven all announced that they were once again selling suds.
Beer sales also resumed online. Retailers Amazon and Mercado Libre added beer to their available products on Monday, charging around 430 pesos (US
$19.75) for a case of 24 473-milliliter cans.
In Nuevo León, where the halt in beer production triggered panic buying in April, authorities announced that beer production would return to 50%
capacity on the first day of the “new normal.”
Grupo Modelo and the country’s other large beer manufacturer, Heineken, have not released any information about the return to production.
NOW the really important question " When will the beer be on the shelves in Baja "
Since I've given up all hope, I feel much better

"The company also owns and operates the world’s largest beer plant in Zacatecas"
For real? I never would have guessed that!

Dang! I was hoping that the big brewers would go BK, thin/horrible lagers would be wiped out, and microbrews would take over market share with
tastier ales and better beers.
The dream was nice while it lasted...
Woke!

My wife flew in on Alaska to Los Cabos today (11 people on the plane, five from my neighborhood) and we went straight to the La Comer for supplies. I
was pleased to see a fresh pallet load of beer and put a case in the basket. Nice! Got to checkout and was informed I couldn't buy the beer since it
was after 4 PM.
No b-tchin\' in the Baja.

Mexicali has some now but you are limited to 48 cans per person per purchase. Saw the sign in the Oxxo window this afternoon with the same limit but
they say the actual beer won't make it to SF till early next week, maybe, but it is on the way.
