Where can I find a resort that serves Budweiser?

This is a deal breaker.....I am trying to find an all inclusive resort in the Riviera Maya area that serves Budweiser products in their bars. I have 6 couples going and one of the men refuses to go unless he can get Budweiser. I know it sounds ridiculous....but this is the requirement. Help please.......

I guess you'll be vacationing elsewhere
It's a shame
Or leave your picky friend at home
Welcome to the forum

EDIT: Hell...maybe there is a resort that serves Bud - I just don't know why they would
EDIT 2: Google search - there are resorts that serve Bud - Oh well

Oh man, for real...I would tell my friend "buh bye" and head out.

Wish I could help, but I doubt you'll find a resort here that serves Budweiser as their normal AI beer. It can be found here from time to time in the stores, I've seen it.

Seriously, though, if your friend is an ADULT, maybe you can convince him to "suffer" through a week with Mexican beer. I doubt it will even taste that different to him. Perhaps you can have a little pre-vacation taste test to see what type of Mexican beer he likes best.

This is just so wrong on all levels.

He's gunna be"that guy" that mad that the staff speaks a "foreign language" too isn't he.

Actually several Mexican lagers are quite similar to American lagers. Tell him you here everyone carries Bud, give him and bowl of chips and salsa. He will adjust his taste for bad beer in a hurry.

Just joking around with you. I'm SURE he will find a suitable substitute if he tries. Start buying Mexican beers now and let him taste test them. I wouldn't swap ANY Mexican beer for a Bud at half the price.

Edit: Yeah what Heather said already. "Taste tests."

I thought of a lot of answers

None would have been helpful, though.

People like what they like, some like it to the exclusion of all other products in that category.

I agree that people like what they like, and there's nothing wrong with that...but to refuse to go to a place where you can't get what you like, when there are ample substitutes? Seems short-sighted to me, missing out on a great time over a beer brand.

I had to really restrain myself from commenting in a non-helpful but potentially funny way. If there was still an award for best spew provoker, I'd have been right on it

I agree with all on the beer thingy, but nobody has attempted to answer his question yet.

I did say that I didn't think he would find a resort here that would serve Budweiser.

The answer is... no.
Thankfully better beers are available.

I agree with the others, leave him at home with his Bud, blinkers, and safety blanket.
