Cambodia news in English! Here you'll find all the breaking news from Cambodia translated into English for our international readership and expat community to read and comment on. The majority of our news stories are gathered from the local Khmer newspapers, but we also bring you newsworthy media from Cambodia before you read them anywhere else. Because of the huge population of the capital city, most articles are from Phnom Penh, but Siem Reap, Sihanoukville, and Kampot often make the headlines as well. We report on all arrests and deaths of foreigners in Cambodia, and the details often come from the Cambodian police or local Khmer journalists. As an ASEAN news outlet, we also publish regional news and events from our neighboring countries. We also share local Khmer news stories that you won't find in English anywhere else. If you're looking for a certain article, you may use our site's search feature to find it quickly.

Ganzberg Billboard - German engineering.
Contrary to their claims, Ganzberg is NOT a German beer. I m not saying that all German beers are good,but Ganzberg would not fair well on the German market.
I’m aware of that but the joke wouldn’t really work if I added your caveat!
Wasn’t it some German brewer who was involved?
Yeah. Tried it. Yuk. Worse than Budweiser (the US one not the Budvar one).
There was a German brewer right at the start, but it tasted vile even back then. And he did not last too long, I believe.

Hanno - not even considered for Reinheitsgebot. It does not even fair well for the Cambodian market. I believe they have had 3-4 different iterations and recipes since inception. Not a German beer.
I see a whole lot of locals drinking it. It's cheaper than most other beers and they give out a lot of prizes.

I saw a post on FB (might have been Ganzberg itself) and a local had won a pickup truck. He was standing there holding the winning ring pull and the keys to the truck and he looked pretty cheesed off!
“Great. I won a truck but I had to drink that swill for 20 years!”
