Cold Beer

CJnDR · Oct 17, 2004

I recently returned from a trip to the DR and was told of Dominican slang for ordering an ice cold beer, but I forgot it. Can anyone tell me what it is? Thanks.

It's " Una Bien Fria"!

An even more "Dominicanism" is to ask for your beer "Con Vestido de Novia"."In a wedding dress".That is when the beer is served in the "Ice Cold" bottle,and "white frost" (looking like a wedding dress) forms on the bottle!!

Look... just say Dame una Fria...trust me they will get the point

A cold Presidente is like a religious experience!
I have seen Dominicans lose their mind upon being served a beer warmer than 40 degrees F!

Una Fria! gets my vote!

Hey, slow down, will ya. I'm tryin to write all of these down! :classic:

Amber · Oct 19, 2004

nope

the actual new phrase is "dame una bonita"
It comes from the newest Presidente commercial: La mas bonita
:bandit:

jerryme · Oct 19, 2004

How about phonetically typing "una Fira" at least the "fria" part. Thanks

If You Are "English",or Just Like Warm Beer,You Can Drink Here For free!!!

Just walk into any "Colmado" and finish off all the warm,half consumed "Presidentes" on the counter!!! A Dominican will NEVER finish a "warm" beer!!!You see lots of signs that just advertise "Bien Fria" on the side of the building.
I love the 7 oz. bottles.Two "swigs" and its gone!!And don't forget to add the "Clamato" for a truly "Religious Experience"! CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC

How do you say I want a cerveza frio not a popcicle!

I've never had a problem getting cerveza that was not cold enough.

I did have a problem getting a large Presidente in Sosua that was half slush.
They expected me to wait for it to melt but I insisted that they get me another one and they did not try to charge me for the frozen one.

The chica I was with didn't seem to think it was a problem at all.

Oh Please, as if anything is the DR takes very long to melt!!! If you live in Minnesota like I do, it can take 6 months, but in the DR???

Beer Temp

It is almost as insulting to get a frozen Presidente that foams over, as it is to get a warm one. I do enjoy watching the barmaids rub the bottle to warm it!

This beer would have taken quite some time to melt especially considering how thirsty I was.

Besides, beer that is frozen and then thawed out does not taste good.

I consider it pretty bad that they would give a customer a beer that is half slush.
They replaced the beer and the food was excellent so I was quite happy with this place.

TRUE!!! The Dominicans I've drunk (yes "drunk") with will always send a "slushie" back- no ta bien.
