Beer

This is where our community discusses almost anything! While we're mainly a Cambodia expat discussion forum and talk about expat life here, we debate about almost everything. Even if you're a tourist passing through Southeast Asia and want to connect with expatriates living and working in Cambodia, this is the first section of our site that you should check out. Our members start their own discussions or post links to other blogs and/or news articles they find interesting and want to chat about. So join in the fun and start new topics, or feel free to comment on anything our community members have already started! We also have some Khmer members here as well, but English is the main language used on CEO. You're welcome to have a look around, and if you decide you want to participate, you can become a part our international expat community by signing up for a free account.

At every shop in Battambang I am being told this, or at least the 5-6 I've tried - not talking about to 500r fee, they say the factories won't change it. I'll go try again, I have loads of winners!

Also, Ganzberg are the only company still changing ringpulls, I think?
Vendors still change them. I swapped my rinhpulls for a box of 24 today(cambodia beer) cost me 12000 riel

Ganzberg is "where it's at" for cheap, crap beer as far as I've found. The others just taste basically like carbonated water, some with mildly unpleasant flavors tossed in.
I like flavor in my beer and Ganzberg at least has a sort of... creaminess? to it. Just make sure it's nice and cold. It has some off flavors if not well chilled. If I go somewhere where the beer isn't nice and cold I'll go with Cambodia, followed by Angkor, and lastly Anchor.
Best bet, though, is to just go with Black Panther. You actually get some decent flavor and it's only Slightly more expensive. No freebies, though, which is why I get Ganzberg for regular home consumption. I think I won about 16 freebies in my last case. That makes the beer pretty damn cheap. This current case has less freebies, but I've won three $1 prizes(or basically six beers). I've never collected a cash prize, so I'll have to figure that out.
Do you think the parents of baby boomers whined so much when the boomers started changing society? And yet the whiney ones like to call young people "snowflakes." Hmm...

double check if you buy Klang I made the mistake came home with case of 4% instead of 6% . 4% shouldn't be called Klang(strong)

Maybe they refer to '' strong '' as strong in flavour .

Every time I go to visit my friends in the countryside they're drinking Ganzberg. I don't think it's that bad, but I'm no connoisseur.
