I need help with beer!
Edited on Thu Jan-19-06 05:42 PM by pointblank
I have been looking for a Mexican beer called SOL.

I asked a local distributor if he could get it and for some reason I cannot get it in Missouri and I have searched far and wide on the net to see if I can mail order it and have had no luck. Why the hell can't a liqour distributor order certain beers within a state...that is friggin ridiculous!

I have heard that you can buy it in Michigan and in Canada, but I am not sure where else to look.

Anyone know if they can get it around their area or know of a place that I can order it?

My friends and I had this beer in Mexico and I would love to suprise them with some for a night of a little nostalgia! :beer:

If someone knows how to get it, or would be willing to "help" me get some (ON EDIT: please PM for the definition of "help", I dont want to break any DU rules...Thanks)... PM me if you would like. I will compensate you!

5. I checked Bevmo
They are out of stock and dont have an answer to when they will have more. Check the listing on their site and it shows a quantity of 0.

Otherwise I would do it no problem!

But they don't ship beer.

16. I've had SOL - it's another Corona
which you might happen to enjoy but I wasn't keen on it. Negro Modela is the best Mexican Beer!

17. I hate Corona
Sol doesnt have that funky aftertaste. besides, its more of a nostalgia thing anyway.

"Cerveza SOL!"

We used to have it at a Minyard's down the street, but we moved.

We might be able to get you some. I'll check or I'll have the ball and chain check next time we're at the store. I should probably go this weekend.

29. Let's see if they still sell it here before I get too much applause.
I haven't heard any ads or anything here recently. Have you? Who knows-- they may have pulled out.

reprehensor will tell me to throw in some Ziegen Bock as well. He's one of those snotty Canadian beer drinkers. Only likes certain stuff. Very hoity toity beer in our house.

Maudite anyone?
