Er, Pacifico is Mexican is it not?? Whatever it is, it’s darn good. Kind of hard to find here in Scotland though…

Yes, and Mexico is part of the Americas — southern North America, in fact. (But, I don’t know how closely Pacifico follows the "Premium American Lager" style guidelines; is it any closer than Samuel Adams Boston Lager?) Whatever it is, it’s darn good. Kind of hard to find here in Scotland though…

Yes, IMHO, Pacifico is the beer Coors wants to be. I live in Az and get it fresh from the brewery when friends visit…It’s very light, and malty sweet, with a lovely subtle backround bitterness. Unfortunately it is shipped in railcars that may hit 130*F inside, and left on sidings for days/weeks at a time (as is lots of Dos Equis) before it gets into american supermarkets…This may be changing… I recently saw a deicated Semi-Truck (with mexican plates) delivering here in Tucson. ]]]Z[[[

I suppose I should clarify that...The -Trailer- had Mexican plates. Which I -hope- indicates it was loaded down there. It's not unusual for shipments to be brought to the border and dropped on our side in Nogales. For an AMERICAN truck and driver to pick up...Just like your Samsonite Suitcase. But a DEDICATED trailer like that, painted with the brand and logo might indicate someone is planning on moving some serious quantitys, and not just an occassional load for one of the local Che-Che Import Beer & Wine distributors. ]]]Z[[[

www.stpats.com sells a bud clone kit, they ship anywhere.. might be worth a shot =) What is it?  An empty box with directions: ‘just add water?’ The book, "Clone Brews" has a recipe for Sam Adams Boston Lager.
