I read a few days ago to expect a shortage of compressed CO2 gas.
Probably because there are too many electric vehicles on the roads.
Burn baby burn!

Yeah, I used to have to buy "Coke Lite/Light" or bring Pepsi products from home. It's a Coke-Corona-products town.

Would a beer shortage have something to do with shutting down that plant in Mexicali earlier in the year over some govt regulations drama?

WTF beer shortage. Travelling 2600 miles for no beer. Rolling back to PP after 7 months and I need beer. Is OPEC in Mexico?

No shortage. Just Americanized inflation ruining a great place.

The Modelo/Corona/Pacifico plant was scrapped after 50% built. Not enough H2O in Tij/Mexicali area to support it. It's being relocated to Monterrey.

Thanks for the clarification.
Scarcity of bottles, high aluminum prices create beer shortages
Beer shortages are most prevalent in the north of the country, but have also affected Mexico City and states such as Guerrero and Guanajuato.

I guess we need to slow down with our beer consumption to help correct the beer shortage situation.

We used to buy Pacifico at I think it’s Antonios at the bottom of the hill headed up to El Capitan. Now hearing there is no Pacifico in town. Is this true?

I used to get Pacifico in cases of real bottles (20?) at Reggie's 8/12 on the way to Las Conchas on Freemont but that was ages ago. You'd pay extra and then get like $5 back with a completely full case of empties.
I do NOT miss stressing the entire trip about the location of a missing bottle & who lost it. Now we just get 12 XX's twist-offs at the XOXO just before leaving Sonoyta, ice those up in the cooler on the drive & buy cans in town as needed for the beach--bottles stay in the condo fridge.
That liquor store hasn't sold Corona/Pacifico products in several years.
The liquor store on Freemont & Guanajuato , right behind the Tecate convenience store, sells pretty much all brands of cerveza. Including, Pacifico and Pacifico light.
Nice folks there as well.
