Carlsberg special brew - had this in Malaysia in 1993. Beats all other slightly sweet beers I've had since then. The bittersweet taste will leave an impression, believe me. Never seen it here.

 

Aventinus dark beer from Schneider and Sohn - had this in Thailand last year. Bavarian wheat beer. Ito people, ang definitive smooth and rich dark beer. Samahan niyo to ng bockwurst or even just plain local german franks, (purefoods ata yon) at siguradong makakalimutan niyo ang pangalan niyo. I've asked all austrian and german outlets dito and they don't have it.

 

Chimay dark (ok yung pangalan no? - pronounced Shimay, natawa ang waitress when i pronounced it wrong) - not sure if it's Bavarian or Belgian, but it's available here at Le Souffle. Decent, definitely better than Guiness dark (horsep**s).

 

Oh and for local beers? Punta kayo sa Dusit Hotel Fiesta San Mig outlet. Freshly brewed ang San Mig pale and light nila. Happy hour para drink all you can. Weekdays lang ata, mga 5-8.

beers i have tasted...

 

siyempre sa atin muna...san mig pale, super-dry and light, beer na beer, bud regular and light, carlsberg, efes, amstel, heinekken, asahi, tiger, coors, peje and corona.

 

i guess my favorites include san mig light, super dry and corona (with a lemon slice inside the bottle). dapat sa bottle ang beer or straight from the keg. beer in cans don't taste that good!

 

and one more pala...beergin (virgin)! :boo:

o di ba, pasok na pasok sa travel and cuisine ang topic.

 

anywhere i go in the world,  i always make it a point to try out the local food and the local beer.

i'm no connoiseur but i feel it helps me have a clearer understanding of the local culture.

what beers from which places have you tried and what do you think of them?

 

Thailand - Singha beer and the locally brewed Heineken...both are ok, medyo matapang ang singha. ice cold, it is a perfect partner to all the spicy thai dishes.

 

Hongkong- Tsingtao, carlsberg, san miguel....ok naman...the san miguel of course tastes different

 

Cambodia- Ankor beer tapos meron din silang Anchor beer. para siguro yung SMB at Beer na Beer dito sa atin. pareho lang naman ang lasa.  masarap....also goes well with cambodian food....

 

Netherlands- Amstel beer, Heineken, Grolsh....they say amstel is brewed using water straight from the amstel river or mga heineken employees lang ang nagsasabi nun?  honestly i thought heineken a little too overrated after trying it there.  I think Grolsh is, by far, the best commercial beer i have ever tried.....

 

Germany-sadly wasn't able to try much at the the beer capital of the world.  just a few from some microbreweries which were sooooooo gooooood.....also tried Poulaner beer pala. ok din

 

UK-Boddington's.....oh yeah. nothing like a pint of boddington's in an authentic english pub.

 

Mexico-Corona and Dos Equis....not too sure if dos equis is brewed in mexico or in another south american country, anyone care to enlighten me?  but i like it better than corona.....i can wolf down a lot of corn tortilla soft tacos with a cold bottle of this....

 

USA....tried a lot of them like Miller, Coors, Budweiser, Beck's, and a lot more i can't remember....for a country that drinks a lot of it, their beers are not really that spectacular.....sabi nga, they're all the same, just piss-colored water s'all.....give me a san mig pale pilsen any day......

 

In Italy and France it is all wine so i did not get to try any beer while i was in those places. parang tubig lang ang wine dun eh...

 

 

any of you guys tried Mississippi Mudd, it's like a brown ale beer. If you can get your hands on some, try it. It's really good. They got over at Trader Joe's.
