Re: Beer
I came up with a superior cocktail back couple years ago in Saigon … called it “Afternoon Delight” … and it certainly was … Korean Makoli+Junmai Daiginjo+Pomegranate extract … on the rocks of course. Try it, ya might like it!
Sorry in advance for a tad off topic.

Re: Beer
Heineken and Tiger both use exclusively barley and hops even when brewed in Cambodia. I don’t believe the others made here use much, mainly rice. Beer Lao even admits to using rice.
Re: Beer
I drink here always ANCHOR, and in my eyes its very similar to the usual normal belgian beers we drink in Belgium. Ofcourse nothing to do with the high-end belgian beers !!
If i miss my country i will go to look for a real Hoegaarden or Kasteelbier, both to be find without problem around Daun Penh !!

Re: Beer
In Malaysia, Anchor is sold as a mid-market product. Maybe different brewery and ingredients.
Re: Beer
The problem with any draught beer in PP is they are stored at room temperature and mostly around 27c (assuming the bar has AC). The beer doesn't keep very long at these temperatures and if your fancy craft brew doesn't sell quickly it will go sour pretty quickly. Cans are a better bet, but even these still need cool storage for longevity. Bottles have their own storage issues with light getting in.Bongmab69 wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 9:51 pm I drink here always ANCHOR, and in my eyes its very similar to the usual normal belgian beers we drink in Belgium.

If you buy canned foreign beer in Cambodia for a premium price, it should have a VERY long shelf life remaining. Ideally, it should come from a shop like Super Duper with their AC running 24 hours a day, and, even better, in a fridge cabinet. The journey from the brewery to the final store is fraught with storage risk in these parts, but hopefully it was off the (refrigerated) container and into the shops within a day or two.
Kronenburg (among others) may claim an 18-month shelf life but that is for cold storage (~10c, so that means a refrigerated beer-cellar). In warm conditions, you can halve that or more. If it has been sitting in a hot tin warehouse from March to May, it will probably be fucked. Never accept cans that are close to their use-by date in Cambodia, their true use-by date has long passed. If you're paying a premium price for quality, make sure you get it.

Others import big quantities of barley malt. With the volume imbalance between SE Asia and NW Europe you can get container rates close to zero, the lines would rather have minimal freight and the port charges paid rather than shipping empty containers at their own cost.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sat Jan 13, 2024 9:29 pm Heineken and Tiger both use exclusively barley and hops even when brewed in Cambodia.

Re: Beer
Interesting. We'll have to see how that works now with the Suez canal not being used by container ships.Bluenose wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 2:49 pmOthers import big quantities of barley malt.

Re: Beer
Even more incentive to get any little revenue instead of zero. However, Australia and China also supply barley malt to Cambodia.armchairlawyer wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 5:40 pmInteresting.

Re: Beer
So, just to be clear - you are saying the shippers are providing a free service to transport the barley malt from Europe and Australia - and the barley malt sellers also sell it at a special low cost?Bluenose wrote: ↑Sun Jan 14, 2024 6:32 pmEven more incentive to get any little revenue instead of zero.
