I have looked around the world it seems, on the internet, at local beer and wine stores and a host of other sites. So I decided to come here and try. Does anyone know if it is possible to get access or buy or any options of obtaining El Presidente in the United States, and in particular in Mississippi? I live here now and 9 out of 1people even distributors have never heard of it. Frustration!!!! Thanks for any help. Gracias y Hasta Pronto![/QUWhere you at Mississippi
we just bought some at WALMART in Orlando 2 weeks ago!
My husband also said it didn't taste exactly the same but close enough!
Does anyone know if you can buy it in Buffalo NY?
suarezn, I concur...hehehe Nothing like being in the island with that bachata or dembow blasting while gulping a cold ceniza and checking out the eye candy. Life is good....

Do not shoot me if I am wrong...
I have a Belgian friend, who actually is a master brewer from Belgium. He was "bought" by some Texan Beer Brewer to duplicate the famous "Hoegaerden" from Belgium, over there. As the money was very good, he did not hesitate, and from what I hear he is doing very well for himself...
We shared a couple of beers in Forth Worth, TX, called "De Koninck", which is quite a famous and very nice beer from the city of Antwerp in Belgium. I commented on the taste being different (I am from Antwerp, so was brought up on this stuff), and he told me this was normal, as importing laws require "live" beers (with active yeast in them) to be pasteurized on entry.
He also told me that all imported beers have to go through this process, which would kill a big amount of the taste.
I drank Heineken in the US, and did not like it at all. Mind you, I drank it in Holland and thought it was **** as well, but definetely better **** than in the US...
I would love to see more imported beers in the DR, but apparently duties kill that possibility, especially as a lot of Belgian beers have a high alcohol content. Then again, a lot of the Belgian beers lose a lot of flavor if bottled. We used to sell them as draft beers, and the taste difference is huge.
If somebody can tell me how I can import draft beers from Belgium, I will open up a bar... lol

I saw Presidente today at Wegman's....... so, yes Sangria, it must be close to Buffalo - Wegmans being Rochester.
12 for $17.99.... about 58 pesos a bottle, Right?
