This past week, the Missus and I spent a week in Cabo San Lucas, at the southernmost tip of Baja California, Mexico. As I always do, a trip to a grocery store to load up on provisions saves us quite a bit of money as opposed to eating in 5-star resort restaurants. (We were staying at a Hilton resort outside Cabo San Lucas.
The larger Mexican groceries, like Kresko, have German imports available, and they are all good. On this trip, I was able to buy several bottles of Paulaner Helles, Flensburger Gold, Muenchner Loewenbrau, and Krombacher, both Pils and dark.
Since I have written before about all of the above beers except Loewenbrau and Krombacher, let me focus on these two. The Loewenbrau came in a small bottle and was fine. Krombacher Pils and (dunkles) dark both came in large bottles and were quite good. The alcohol content was just under 5% (4.8% and 4.7% respectively). If you are an American used to drinking beer very cold, I suggest you stay with that with German imports.
Krombacher is one of the better-known breweries in Germany. Krombach is a small town located in the Aschaffenberg district of Franconia in Bavaria.
