Having lived in Spain for 3 years in the mid 80's ,I acquired the taste for Mahou. Anyone willing to send me 12 or 24 of them . Also I drank Espledido ,Brandy I believe.

MMmmmmm... Mahou Beer .... Yummm.. :p Love it! You'd probably have to pay someone QUITE a bit to lug 20 pounds worth of beer home ON the plane with them. hehehe.. Someone might be willing to bring ONE CAN back with them and mail it to you though.. Hmmm.. Beer in the mail.... Sounds like a foamy, explosive situation.

Saludos, MadridMan

I can´t describe how disappointed my son was when I brought him ONE can of Mahou from Barcelona -just for fun and for him to taste because he had never done it before. He had only heard my words of praise upon this drink of the gods.
I´ll never make the same mistake again. Tia

Tia, sorry to hear about your son's reaction. Maybe he's used to Budweiser?? BLECH!!! :p Not sure if you live in the USA or elsewhere but ones "home-beer" tastebuds are usually AWAKENED when tasting the beers of Spain because they actually have flavor! It's not Coca-Cola, that's for sure.

Counting the days 'til my next Mahou, MadridMan

MM,
Nooo, I didn´t make myself clear - must be because of my scandinavian inheritance.
The problem was the amount of the cans!!! Next time I´ll have to drag about hundreds of them with me.

Nooooo! Tell him next time to go with!
My sister and I used to do the same, but with Fanta Limon... until it just got too heavy and akward to bring with us! :p

Can't tell you where to find Mahou in the U.S., but I did find Estrella (from Galicia) at Beverages and More, here in So.Cal, yesterday!!

MM,

When are you going back to Madrid?>

Tadd45, I won't be returning to Spain until the end of March but will/should/hope-to be there for 3-weeks. (LOOK OUT for the next "Party With MadridMan in Madrid"!!!)

That first one, and subsequent others (not finished yet though - I'm savoring them), are SO delightful. I had my first Estrella Galicia at a beachside café of Combados (I think - in the old section of the city where there are dozens and dozens of horréos) just as the moon rose. Mmmm... Spanish Beeeeeer.. :p

THRILLED to have Spanish Beer in Ohio, MadridMan

I will be looking out for the Next party, last year I had already planned a trip in June, tried to rebook to party w/ MadridMan, but was too expensive.. Keep me updated... >
