    I just went to my local craft beer store (the one with the best prices near me) and got some US and foreign beers. Here´s what they cost here in Mexico. How much do you pay for them over there neighbors?

    Sierra Nevada (Torpedo Extra IPA, Ruthless Rye IPA and Golden IPA) $ 60 (mexican pesos) = 4 dollars EACH ONE.

    Firestone Union Jack IPA $ 66 pesos = 4.30 dollars

    Gulden Drak 9000 Quad $ 70 pesos = 4.60 dollars

    Fuller´s Chiswick Bitter $ 75 pesos = 5 dollars (most expensive I got today)

    And bought some mexican crafts, very nice IPAs around 50 pesos each = 3.30 dollars.

    So, make me suffer.

    Man you have awesome prices for great beer. Here it´s expensive as hell. Recently went to Europe and was shocked at how cheap great beer was, cheaper than bottled water, it´s heaven.

    Firestone Union Jack is $7.99 / 6 pack here where I am. IMO, the best quality to price find.

    Sierra Nevada averages $10/6pack around me. However, Gulden Drak is about the same price!

    oh and wait.....Firestone is available in Mexico but not WV? WTF!?

    Sounds pretty reasonable...if I went down there it'd seem fair to me...might be a bit high but I'm used to paying too much for good beer...it's no too crazy...

    The Sierra Nevada (SN) prices are the highest, as you're getting from other posts; the Firestone is a little high, but not like the SN; the Gulden Draak price is typical. I don't know about the Fuller's.

    I will! Sadly american IPAs get here a few weeks after brewed and they are not that great, but mexican ones are fresh and tasty. cheers!

    What's shipping like to Mexico? Shoot I'd ship you some beers if it didn't cost me a small fortune. This man needs reasonably priced Sierra Nevada! :slight_smile:

    I appreciate that comment man, It´s tough to live so close to the US yet it´s so expensive to ship stuff across the border. But I can get them, so that´s nice. I mean it´s much better than living in Argentina.

    That won't be as easy as you think. The US beers you listed are naturally less expensive here, but the Gulden Draak is cheaper by you than me, and the Chiswick is practically nonexistent by me :slight_frown:
