Need to buy some beer in RP.

[tyler]

Please don't take me somewhere where I'm going to get lost please!

I'm going in a few days, for the first time alone.... I still don't know the area that well, but I need a place where I can get beer, since drinking at the pool side bars is expensive.

Suggestions?

[Ladyjeeper]

Whereabouts are you located?

[tyler]

Oh yeah, forgot about that small part of detail.

Las Palomas.. (Don't hate me anti-condo crew!)

[tyler]

Er, I'm not sure why I posted this in Real Estate... I'm still half asleep today.

[Ladyjeeper]

Is that over on Sandy Beach? I don't know all the names of the developments.

[tyler]

Nod. I take a right to sandy beach where the baseball field is on the main drag.

[Ladyjeeper]

I've only been on that road once. But, most of the super T's sell some beer. The usual way to get beer in PP is to go to a "Sub-agencia" They are sorted by brand. You will see "Sub-agencia Tecate", "Sub-agencia Corona" etc. You buy it by the case and save your receipt for the bottles. Then, just leave the empties in the condo and take them back for a new case each trip. I don't know if there are any Sub-agencias on that road as I was not paying attention when I was there. There's a couple of Sub-agencia Corona's on the main road on the right going thru Sonoyta. Hope this helps.

[tyler]

Ok! The Super T's are safe to go in? :) I've never been in one, I don't know what I'm getting myself into here!

hate hate hate :twisted:


Geez Tyler, does your mom know you are going to Mexico? LOL

You can do one of two things. After you turn right at the Beisbol field, look for signs that say "Corona Deposito" or "Sub-Agencia" on your way to Las Palomas. That's a distributor. Go in and ask for a case of Corona, Dos XX, or that swill that fisherman drink that makes them hog up a VHF channel: Pacifico. :fish: :fish: :fish: LOL
You'll pay a deposit for the bottles, and they have various methods of recording that deposit; either by writing it in a book, writing it on the box, but usually you need to keep your receipt too.
It's around $6.
Go your pigeon coop, drink said beverage, avoid throwing empty bottles at renters whooping it up next door on their patio with the arcadia door propped open and the A/C shutoff bypassed. On your way out, (or when brave enough to venture out from gated, guarded coop), stop at the same Deposito and recover deposit or do like I do and just hold onto the empty bottles for the next return trip. Bring in empties and exchange for new case without deposit.

Or you can try Pemex as I usually stop at the one outside Las Conchas when I'm out that way. I suspect other Pemex's that has convenience stores are set up the same but I've only tried that one.

I seem to recall a Circle T in a traffic circle on the way out to the Sandy Beach area last time I went that way? That would be a third option.

Next trip let's try going to a cantina and maybe eating at a taco stand!

[Ladyjeeper]

Oh, I forgot! Sub-agencia Corona sells Pacifico, the BEST beer in Mexico! :mrgreen: It's just like here, the main company has different brands, etc.

Flame suit on! :mrgreen:

If you are drinking poolside, remember to buy some in the cans as bottles are prohibited.

[Ladyjeeper]

Tyler,
I guess Sub forgot we were all newbies once, whether it's 2008, 1978 or in my case 1966. :roll: I'll PM ya.

[tyler]

haha. This is my 3rd trip down in a year. Obviously I'm addicted to this place, but yeah.. I started off a little late. :lol:

[Submarine]

Keep treading water Ladyjeeper, help is coming!

[tyler]

Ok! Found it on the map where I need to go. I can do this!

Oh, and be nice to Ladyjeeper. She's my new e-friend! 8-)

Is the price of beer higher at Super Ley? If not just go there and buy cans by the case. No deposit and no pool problems

I've usually found that Super Ley has just about the best price....of the beer/liquor that they carry. Saw a bottle of Don Julio in there cheaper than the Duty Free at the border. Super Ley doesn't carry the "deposit" type bottles.

[BeachMom]

We always buy beer (Tecate or XX) at the Ueta (duty free shop) in Lukeville. $14 for a case (cans).

[Ladyjeeper]

Ok Happy, that WAS funny...Las Palomas-the pigeons, kind of ironic :lol: but don't pick on Tyler too much. He's not making any money off this forum and he does have a BIG HAMMER! I know it's hard watching our beloved Puerto Penasco turn into the land of high rises and by this time next year there won't be anywhere for our trailers in town on the beach but you know the old sayings, "if you build it, they will come" and "money talks-trailers roll". Well, I took poetic license with that last one. :mrgreen: It ain't goin' back to the old days...no matter how much we want it. :cry: Tyler is not like some of those other condo people on the old forum that bashed us around. He took up the baton of making a place for us after the old forum tossed us. I consider everyone my friend until they show me they are not, be they condo people, trailer people, house people or tenters. Now I'm going to shut up before I start singing Kum Ba Yah :roll: :lol:

[Submarine]

LMAO I never translated that before (since my spanish is pretty much non-existent).

$350k+ for a pigeon coop.....too funny! I guess it shows Mexican's aren't without a sense of humor either.

[joester]

when I run out of beer in RP, which is pretty much every trip -
I just walk across the street from the rv park and buy some -
never thought about it too much.
as to not having any places to stay in my rv on the beach,
I'm hopeful that PDO will stay open for a few more years so I can enjoy it
as long as possible - we LOVE that place!
