Beer Price ?
I don't drink much but could never understand how beer is more expensive here then North America let alone Canada taxed to death..
Bought some Presidente today at Janet's supermarket in Cabarete - 135 pesos for a jumbo. The cap was marked 125. I only paid 120 pesos for a jumbo there last Saturday(and for about the past year). Grandes were 100 pesos.
A six-pack of Presidentes was 385 pesos. I can buy a 12 pack of Presidentes in Miami for the equivalent of 500 pesos. Go figure.

I can buy a case of 24 grande's for 2100 pesos (87.5) per bottle. That works out to aprox $65CDN. The cost for that much name brand beer in Canada would be around $100 CDN. Not sure how you think the price in Canada is less.
Presidente is a pilsner beer. Always has been. It even says so on the label.*

The 100 peso Grande is getting more scarce.

I am sure there is a German or Belgian beer expert somewhere on the forum, but technically a pilsner is a pale lager. There are two classes of beer: Ales & Lagers. The difference is based on the temperature at brewing and therefore strain of yeast used.
Originally pilsner started in Plzen, Czechoslovakia (actually Bohemia) because yeast in Ales were spoiling and cold brewing began.
Of course I consider Presidente an undrinkable p*ss form of lager and at least Bohemia retained the name of the original locale where Pilsner originated, and is much more drinkable.
