Hard cider in Phnom Penh

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.

Hard cider in Phnom Penh

Post by MrSam »

Being Scottish we love to drink. That’s not a secret. :D :beer2: :beer3:

How common is cider (hard cider for our American cousins). Last time I was in PP I was quite happy with Anchor or some sort of lager.. but I do love a nice cider! For the life of me I can’t remember seeing any last time I was across

Someone will know better than me but I think there's a brand that is made in Kampot now. Have seen it in many bars. Not crazy expensive- though a bit more than draught Anchor. The minimarts in the tourist area usually sell at least one brand of cider too.

Kampot cider is good.

Brunty's pear is acceptable, apple goes well after much of something else but strawberry is absolute garbage.

Some places have Savanna dry which is nice.

I'd you can't find cider in Cambodia 2019 you're going to strange places. You should at least find Brunty's in most white face hangouts. The others are hit or miss.

Agreed, Brunty's (with the exception of Strawberry) os OK'ish as long as it is ice-cold.

We get a bunch of different (10+) ciders in Kampot. Newest addition is Hanoi cider, by far the best ciders I have tried in Asia.

That’s brilliant. Sounds like I could be in luck!
I’ll give them a try
