Last Gasp from Mexico
Wrapping up the stories of my quest last week for good beer in Puerto Penasco (Rocky Point) Mexico:
One afternoon I headed into town with my brother-in-law Dave Kapp and his wife Jeanne, who live in Phoenix. We were careful not to drive above the 25-mph speed limit, as everyone had a tale of being pulled over by the local police.
We stopped at several liquors stores asking, in our broken Spanish, for Bohemia. No one had it, but everyone had an idea of another liquor store, down the road, that was sure to carry it. Finally we found it, in bottles, at Bryan's a sport bar on the east side of town. The bartender, an American, said Bohemia was only sold to restaurants. It was an okay lager, nothing exciting. I preferred the bottle of Pacifco I snagged at one of the half dozen liquor stores I visited.
Bryan's was also supposed to have Indio, a touted Mexican beer, on tap. But alas when we were there, the tap was dry. Bummer.
Anybody had Indio?
Did I miss anything?
Comments
I didn't realize I had a place in Mexico.

Indio is a light flavored dark beer. I bought some while exploring beers in Puerto Vallarta when the weather was in the 80s-90s temp and humidity range and I didn't think dark beer was right for the beachside experience. For evening meals I often had a Dos Equiis amber which is more complex and blended nicely with Mexican cuisine.
Too bad it is not available in the northern climes, I'd give Indio another try.
