Not sure what the question is here, but I highly recommend Presidente. It comes in a can and it's basically the Coors Light of the Caribbean.

Beer snobs will liken it to water because it's not one of those hand crafted beers that appears in commercials where some dude is pawing at some barley and hops and telling the story of the time his father's father's father escaped an oppressive European regime and came to America with two dollars to his name, a secret recipe for beer and a dream...but on a hot beach, Presidente will treat you right. Very smooth.

Get yourself a koozie from Skinny Legs and you're in business.

Oops! Missed the question.
Where can I buy it and can I get anything other than American beer!
I know I can get it in Cruz Bay but not sure in Coral Bay

I know you can get Corona Light in cans in Coral Bay but I can't remember if my family bought at Lilly's or Love City :)

As a rugby player.... I know a little bit about BEER. When we go to STJ, I will continue my lifetime ban of Bud, Miller, Coors, etc. I will continue to enforce strict policy to incorporate LOCAL brews into my daily diet of "grains". STJ has St. John Brewers, whihc now has 4 brews....decisions, decisions....which one do I try first!

Maybe Cases by the Sea?

If memory serves me correctly, Cases by the Sea is your spot.

I know we bought El Presidente and Amstel in cans at Lilly's. In February, for the first time ever, we saw park rangers on the beaches patrolling for glass bottles.

Presidente is available in most places. Occasionally we've found Carib in cans (11 oz.:)) I believe I've also seen Redstripe, but I'm not a Redstripe fan.
