I checked into in great detail last year, made many calls. Wound up talking to someone at FEMSA, the conglomerate that owns Noche Buena, in Mexico. Basically, the problem is no American importer and FEMSA’s so large that Noche Buena isn’t noticed. It would require an American company willing to go through all the paperwork necessary to import the beer. Then they’d have to find distributors. Ergo – no Noche Buena for us.

I used to buy Noche Buena in the Mission District in SF back in the 70′s or early 80′s. Haven’t seen it since then. I assume I would have to cross the border to buy it now. Any reason why it’s not imported to CA ? Seems like it would be a good seller.

Yeah it’s like excess of excess.
