called Desperados. I guess it tastes like tequila. Has anyone had it or know where to get it?

My girlfriend is in Spain and wants to smuggle cases of it back because she loves it so much. But if I can find it here she won’t have to.

I just looked on Consumer’s website and they don’t have it listed as a beer they carry.

Thanks for your help!

Hello Mr. Beaumont,  
I love your page! I have a question for you though. I’m on a quest to find one of my favorite beers and I can’t find anyone who sells it in the States. It’s Desperados from Strasbourg, France, and I miss it so much from when I got to visit there. Corona doesn’t come close! Do you know if it’s available in the US or if there is a resource that could point me in the right direction? I really appreciate it. Thank you.  
– Vanessa Solomon

Sorry to say, but there is no Desperados available in the States. Contact Fischer Beverages USA at 781-890-3534 to voice your displeasure and/or ask them to bring it in.

Gave BOTW a call, they don’t have it because it’s not registered in NYS and therefore it is illegal to carry and sell the beer.

Oh well, she’s outta luck.
