Presidente Beer

[Porfio_Rubirosa]

For those Canadians, I find Presidente somewhat similar in taste to Labatt-contract-brewed Carlsberg, only slightly lighter in body. It's essentially a tropical interpretation (light-medium body) of a Czech-style Pilsener. Alcohol is 5%-6%.

Presidente in Chicago

Being from Minnesota, I have tried to find Presidente Beer for years as well. My husband is from the Dominican Republic and we heard that Chicago has been added to the list of cities that have distributors. We have picked it up in Miami and in New Jersey. I haven't verified that it is available in Chicago, but we are headed there this weekend and maybe I can locate a distributor.

Presidente con clamato

My Favorite is 1-part clamato juice & 3-parts presidente in a glass of course.
Try It!! :classic:

Amen! to that Ricardo900. When I blend my brew with said product, it taste so good it even substitutes a meal sometimes.

Presidente Con "Clamato"!

Never use a glass!
Get your Presidente ice-cold.Take a big gulp of that golden nectar.Let that first taste "Burn" on your tongue! Now,pour some clamato into the bottle,give the bottle a swirl,now take another drink.There should now be room to add the rest of the clamato to the bottle,and swirl it into the beer.Now down the rest of the salty brew.Elapsed time,about 60 seconds!(To those who don'T know,"Clamato" takes the carbonated "Bite" out of the Presidente,and allows you to drink lots more.Dominicans think you won't get drunk if you mix Clamato with your Presidente! Yeah,RIGHT!)
Second one should take about 2 to 3 minutes to down,and then follow at regular intervals until you start to dance the "Bachata".You know you have had enough when you think you look really "cool" dancing! CCCCCCCC :nervous:

4. The Presidente sold in the US is brewed and bottled in the DR and is identical to the product sold for DR domestic conception (including in alchohol content). It is commonly reported that Presidente in the US tastes different. After many, many, threads on this topic, this can probably best be attributed to shelf-life and temparature changes involved in transit. In other words, Presidente does not travel well. (Some also claim that that the experience of drinking it under a palm tree surrounded by beautiful babes compared to drinking it while shoveling smoot-blackened snow in Wisconsin affects the drinking impression.) I can personally report that most (but not all) of the Presidentes that I have purchased in high turnover locations in Washington Heights have tasted the same as that consumed by me in massive quantities in the DR.

HEAR! HEAR!

Can we make this post a sticky?

presidente distributions

hi. Just got back from nine months in the DR and dying to get my hands on an ice cold Presidente. Checked SAB/Miller's website and don't see Presidente on their list of brands. Any ideas on how to order beer (and rum) over the internet? That's probably my only option out here in Idaho.

What about Montreal?????

I love the Presidente Cerveza as well but never heard of someone buying it in Montreal. Anyone knows if we can or cannot buy it in Montreal ??? Thanks guys... Nubeluz xxx

In blind taste tests, Presidente is almost identical to Rolling Rock.

They even share green bottles.
