There are so many great beers in Vallarta and all over Mexico that if you are stuck on the A/B - Budweiser and Bud Light beers you can still find them at some of the "major" market areas. Now if you want an honest opinion for something comparable - Modelo and Modelo Light is what i would recommend for that die hard Bud man. Now granted you could swallow Corona and the new Corona Lite, but why do that, have a glass of ice water instead. With all the great beers of the world to try and taste, why settle for the old standby. You are in Mexico on vacation, why stick to your American ways. You just as well as go to the Outback Steakhouse every night then as well. but then again that is jmho.

The parent company of Corona, Grupo Modelo has 35.5% of its shares owned by A/B for many years. Grupo Modelo has the sole distribution in Mexico, for the US A/B brands. The Grupo Modelo brands are Corona Extra, Modelo Especial, Victoria, Negra Modelo, Pacifico, Estrella, León and Montejo.

I would have to also suggest Pacifico for a Bud Drinker. My friend is a big Bud fan, and tends to enjoy Pacifico or Tecate. Corona just does not do it for him.

Cervesa con ascetunas

Now for me when i am in Vallarta, i will drink Dox XX with a lime, i will drink Modelo Negro straight up, or Bahemia (sp?)... i do like my Sol with olives. Beer-tinis. but i will start at on one end of the spectrum to the other. light, dark, lager, amber... what ever sounds good that night. and if all else fails, then it is Appleton Estates V/X Rum and Coca Dieta.

have a few for me....

Friday night is beer and pizza night. My choice of beer is a bud.
Budweiser adds one extra ingredient to their beer besides the usual hops and barley etc.
Rice is Budweisers special ingredient.

In Mexico we accept what ever beer is offered along as it is cold.

Beer!!

We noticed that Bud was being sold in some of the liquor stores, but didn't bother looking for price as we were extremely happy with Corona, Sol, Pacifico...all very good

I'm from St. Louis, home of Anheiser-Busch, and you could not get me to drink that crap if that was the only beer avalible. I can't tell you the last time I had any A-B brews. There are so many really great beers made in Mexico, that you shouldn't even try to chose one that resembles your favorite at home brew. Try them all, and what the hell, if you don't really like one of them, you're only out a little over a buck.

Chuck and Ozzy, you two are going to have WAY too much fun in PV that is for sure. Have an Indio for me or a nice cervesa con ascetunas (Sol with Olives) ... and that is Sol the Beer guys... not Sol our wonderful waitress around the pool... :wink: :roll: :twisted:

I know Sol gets thumbs down from some folks, but I find it very enjoyable ice cold on a hot humid day in PV. It also holds a special place for me for during our second stay in PV at the GCP, Jan 2000 the Sol girls showed up one day poolside (all super-fine young chicas in super small white and yellow bikinis). We had several contests and I won several Milimium Sol bandanas for answering the question, "What Mexican state are we in and what is it's capital". Now those bandanas have been my uniform for tequila volley ball every trip we have made back to the GCP. This time will be no exception.
