[ohiohatteras]

Since you guys seem to always have a solution....figured I would give it a try.
Trying to get a few cases of Kalik Beer from the Bahamas up here to Ohio. I can't find anyplace around that ships or sells it except one place that wants $48 for a 12 pack!!!!.
So......Anybody headed to the Bahamas soon and could bring/ship it back to/for me?
Thanks!!!!!!

That sounds like a Bahamas price... Even though it's only 10:20 AM I just got the crave for a Kalik.

I can't buy it here in Michigan and I have a retail license. There are no distributors here that carry it.

we got one of our better local liquer/beer stores to order it for us.it is available from reginal distributers. we get it for around $32 a case. at first we had to commet to a certain amount,but enough others started buying that now they will order on request.its not the same has getting it in georgetown,but...

What's special about it and what does it sell for in the Bahamas? I'll be leaving Nassau in early May aboard a big Burger Yacht for a delivery to New York. If Kalik is that good I'll be sure to have a few cases brought aboard.

Kalik is the "Beer of the Bahamas", or basically like Budweiser is to the U.S. . It somes in three strengths: Kalik Light, Kalik and Kalik Gold. I usually bring a case back with me each time I return home but the prices down there have crept up quite a bit over the years. I used to pay around $34/case but it cost over $40/case for Kalik Gold the last couple of times that I brought some home. If it can be bought for $32 anywhere in the U.S. it is cheaper than you can buy it in the Bahamas. Every time I pop one open at home it reminds me of blue water even when it is nowhere near!

A lot of people like Kalik; I'm just not one of them. I didn't find anything special about it, except that if you run out of good beer in the Bahamas, it might be all you can buy. If you like stuff like Budweiser, Coors, Corona, etc. then you'll probably like Kalik - it's fairly "light". It's readily available here in Miami. I tried to develop a liking for it because it's what's readily available in the bars over there, but instead, I only convinced myself to take PLENTY of my own beer with me to the Bahamas. My opinion is probably a bit jaded since I like pale ales, IPAs, and homebrews. So, when in the Bahamas and I run out of beer (God forbid!!!), then it's time for dark rum or more champagne.

Not sure if this helps but kalik is available across the border at the Liquor Control Board of Ontario. Most of the bigger stores have it and all can order it on short notice. Price is around $45.00 a case.

It's $12 a six pack in the Bahamas. and it doesn't get discounted unless you buy alot. Rum however is $6.oo a liter. Plus anything you can't have seems better, remember coors in the 70's. It's not that great a beer. ron. lying spanish town, bahamas

Well put Ron.. Forbidden fruit is always desirable and exciting. I remember the Coors thing in the 70's very well and I agree that while it's OK, I don't think it's so special anymore since it's readily available. People are quirky that way. I know/knew plenty of guys that were married to some really foxy women and still they ran around..... Tiger Woods as an example. Go figure

What was the name of the beer that used to be the bear of the islands. It was in a green bottle with a red label. I think. We drank it when we went to Green Turtle Kay. I though it tasted like crap, but it was the only beer they had. So I drank Miss Emily's Goombay smashes. Rum, coconut rum and something else.

Headed towards Ottawa on Monday....found a grocery store, Wegmans, in Buffalo that said they have it!!!! Gonna stock up on the way thru town!!!

It's about $12 anywhere in the Bahamas, with a 20% discount if your buying other alcohol, beer and wine is really expensive here. Everyone drinks hard booze because for the most part it cheaper that in the states, and of course rum is really chealp. I like Sands just as well and neither measure up to red stripe or some mexican beers IMO>
