Scott & Laura Spencer report seeing Coors Beer (Fiesta Series) by the Coors Brewing Co. We saw them at Smith's Supermarket in Las Cruces, NM on March 29th, in 12 oz. cans. Pictured here are the 3 cans of what I believe is a 3 can set. They were packaged in 12 packs only, with a reference on the 12 pack to the "Nuevas Latas Festivas". Each can has a small paragraph on the side panel. Pictured, from left to right, is "Tejano", "Norteno", and "Mariachi". In the first 12 pack we bought, the breakdown was 2, 1, and 9. We have them for trade, but unless the mix is different, we may never get very many complete sets.
