Don't be silly,
Nothing is as bad as xxxx
^ Fosters ?
Enjoy good beer, but I have never managed to get the taste of wheat beer. Must admit gotten the taste for German beers with a good after taste. Just as a interest point I seem to recall that the Belgian's have more types of beers than anyplace on the planet. Good luck with the wheat stuff, Ill stick with hops. Singha is made from a rice mix ?
Even Fosters isn't as bad as xxxx
xxxx is cat piss consumed by red neck queenslanders
Fair enough, I'm not saying I enjoy all wheat beers, some are actually very average. But Hoegaarden for me is unbeatable, especially draught, great refreshing taste. I used to be able to drink about 20 of em a night and still wake up the next morning without a hint of a hangover.Originally Posted by Sailing into trouble
It tastes very different when bottled though.
About 5 years back went to a folk Festival in Deven to watch a couple of great Irish bands. Popped into a little pub. It had 12 different traditional beers. All on the hand pump. Took 5 hours to try them all. Couldn't remember which ones we liked best by that time. So we started again. By the time we had completed our survey couldn't remember who I was!
Beer Laos has severe quality issues, especially if the bar owners are idiots who turn their fridges off every night. Even in Laos I couldn't wait to get back to a Leo as I couldn't find a decent beer Laos.Originally Posted by brettandlek
I tried a dark Beerlao yesterday, to see if it had improved on the last time I tried two years ago.
No improvement.
Normal Beerlao can only be drunk in Laos, IMO. Too many additives or whatever in the export version.
Beer Lao goes well with ice
Orval (best trappist in the World in my view)
Westvleteren 10 (voted best trappist in the world)
Hoegaarden White beer
Jupiler pilsner
Westmalle Blond
Boon Oude Geuze
La Chouffe
Oh and Singha when in Thailand
All this codswallop about the best tasting beer, everyone has different tastes
But the thing is, all beer tastes shit,
Would anyone drink any of these beers if there was no alcohol involved ?
So if everyones tastes are different does this mean you prefer cow biffy ? Are you an expert in this field of taste?
As to alcohol, probable not, that is part of the taste, plus the calming effect it has on my trigger finger is always a positive.
Having said that in an ernest attempt to loose a few K's I have cut out my libations and after the first couple of months of shaking I hardly miss it at all. But when I do imbue the odd one. God it tastes good.
I don't know about rednecks but xxxx is gins piss i have to agree. I was raised on it but only drink it when all the good beer runs out.Originally Posted by The Muffinman
I drink chang here it's cheaper than xxxx
We went to Ireland years back and drank Guinees as you do, but when we got to Cork, i discovered Murphy's Draught Ale and from then on, that was the drink of choice, real easy to drink. Dont drink it much hear though as it costs heaps.
New beers are coming to Cambodia by the looks of it.
Brewery eyes October launch
THE US$60 million Khmer Brewery plant was slated to launch by the beginning of the third quarter, aiming to produce an internationally-competitive beer in the Kingdom, insiders said yesterday.
The plant, a joint venture between Cambodia’s Chip Mong Group and Ziemann Group of Germany, will create about 700 jobs and produce from 1 to 2 million hectolitres of beer annually.
“We’ve already completed 80 percent of the plant, and production will start as soon as September and October of this year,” said Chip Mong Group President Leang Khun.
Construction on the plant, which is located in Choueng Ek commune on the outskirts of Phnom Penh’s Dangkor district, began early last year. While there hadn’t been outright delays, Leang Khun did admit that progress on the building had been slow.
In January, company officials had said they aimed at a May launch date.
Chip Mong Group inked the agreement in December 2009, hoping to establish a brewery that produced a world-class beer in Cambodia, he said.
According to the joint-venture agreement, Chip Mong Group would invest $60 million in capital and Ziemann Group would be responsible for operations at the brewery, which will be called Khmer Brewery.
“We hope the venture will lead Cambodia to produce a quality product in order to compete in both local and international markets,” Leang Khun said.
Meng Saktheara, General Director of Industry’s of the Ministry of Industry, Mines and Energy, said the technology brought to Cambodia by Ziemann Group would help the country become more self-sufficient in producing domestic beer.
“It’s very good to produce [beer] here. It can help reduce imports of the beverage from abroad, create more jobs for local people and also enable Cambodia to have a quality beverage to compete in international markets,” he said yesterday.
“It’s also good for the Cambodian economy because we can collect taxes from the company,” he added.
Breweries have increasingly turned to Southeast Asia, including to Cambodia.
Leopard Capital majority-owned Kingdom Breweries launched its Phnom Penh brewery in October of last year.
Asia Pacific Breweries, the company behind Anchor and Tiger beers, said in a May 16 statement the Indochina region of Cambodia, Laos and Vietnam account for 48 percent of the Singapore-based brewery’s profits before interest and taxes in the last full financial year.
APB is 80 percent owner of Kandal province’s Cambodia Brewery Limited.
In the release, APB announced it would increase the production of its 60 percent owned brewery in Ho Chi Minh City from 2.80 million hectolitres to 4.20 million hectolitres annually, slated to cost S$90 million (US$72 million).
Meanwhile, Danish brewer Carlsberg A/S owns 50 percent of Cambrew Ltd, which has an annual production capacity of 850,000 hectolitres, according to its website. The Preah Sihanouk province brewery produces Angkor beer along with other brands.

The newish Kingdom Beer is good, though produced without consulting any Cambodians obviously, they don't like it, too bitter they say. And the expats aren't enough to support it so I'm guessing it'll either go down in quality or fold within the next 2 years.
Is there anything like "real Ale" in Los? Or just the mega brews?
Carlsberg.
A good point.Originally Posted by sabaii sabaii
No. A few places (Londoner, Tawen Dang, etc) profess to making real ale, but it's just made from powdered malt, so not done properly.Originally Posted by Sailing into trouble
Not just bitters. Any brews that are not mass produced. About 40 years ago in England 4 teachers lamenting the demise of small breweries started a local broad sheet listing about 20 pubs out of thousands that still sold "real Ale" as opposed to the mega keg chemical stuff. It started a revolution. These small backwoods pubs became packed. It forced the big nationals to reverse policy and also spawned many small local companied to produce to a willing market. Became the thing to do.
So that is the reason I said Ale. Called themselves Campaign for real ale. So just wondering if any small LOS breweries.
