Favorite Nicaraguan adult beverage

&#9829 Miskito Alan:

I will bring you 2 cases of "Centenario" for nothing - no U$.

Please, just send my airfare (round-trip) from MGA to Chile and pay my Chilean expenses and I will even help you drink the rum.

Please advise me by "private mail" on "NicaLiving" because I don't want "John" & "Pete" trying to come with me to deliver your "FDC".

Just keep the porch-light on!

If I asked "what is an "accomodating" hotel in the US, what would you suggest?

My friend likes El Alpino in Esteli but I am sure Alan has a favorite in Port. Um, it's a pretty big place down here. Plus you might want do define the price range--I know decent places for $5/night here but some people want hot water and are willing to pay $10, for example.

Bud recently came out with their budlight lime has anyone tried this garbage it has so much lime in it you cant taste anything else. As a member of a few beer clubs this gets an F...Premium A+

I sorta agree with you there. and I 'm not a beer drinker! FLOR DE CAÑA IS THE BEST THOUGH!!!!

Never would have guessed there was clients base big enough to merit Tona distributions in Idaho and Montana. Seems more unbelievable than believable but Vargas should know. I wonder what a 6-pack sells for in Boise or Mossoula? Hard to believe people pay $7-9 for Tona (which is what many other Latin beers cost when you buy 6 in the U.S.).

Hippo´s by far!

People like and look for differenet things in beer(s). That said, Nicaragua has long been known as a country with shitty beer - and I am being more generous than many reviewers. It is not necessarily my claim (though I believe it), but something one could confirm via any/many world-beer-tour sort of journalism article in the last 30 years. Tona and Victoria are not that different. Cold enough (damn cold) they are acceptable in the hot climate. Beyond or outside that, they are a lame substitute for real beer. Many Latin national beers are weak(er) and similar. Early German and Bavarian immigrants to such places made similar brews, which while they might have been impressive 100 years ago, seem less so today. Buffalo at least tastes like BEER. This is litle if any Stout beer in the Latin world; same with other variants. Honduras has the best beers and best taste variety in Central America (though Costa Rica makes more brands), even though they lack a light and NA brew. If you want real GOOD beer, try to find a micro brewery. A guy on the bay islands in Honduras makes some, and a guy on Yojoa Lake, though neither is yet ready for export. The same is true in Panama City and Guate City. There is also a guy in Managua. The problem with most micro brews is that a bottling line is $$$, so it is only sold on site, in the "pub" making it.

are you refering to the Nicaraguan brand Kola Shaler in Cola and Ginger ale flavors?

but I still maintain that I like Bufalo more than Ton~a or Victoria . . .

I am not sure what the real reason is for the spelling change, but doubt it is due to some language / pronunciation difference. I say this because Brahma (original spelling) was and still is successfully produced in Chile and other Spanish-speaking South American countries, for decade after decade after decade. My guess is that the beer is successful in terms of sales because in many locals it costs the same or less than bottled water - and speaking of water, a less than ice-cold bottle of water is better than a less than ice-cold bottle of this v#$%^ !

real people drink FDC!!!
