And my taste was more for Anchor, now 9 years later i am still on Anchor, yesterday i tried a bottle of Carlsberg which wasnt my favorite in Europe in the 80s and 90s but it tasted surprisingly good to be honest. It should be brewed by danish standards but as its brewed in Sihanoukville, it would surprise me !!

That brewery imports a lot of malt and hops from Denmark so it should have some degree of authenticity

Ganzberg presumably has a German 'Biermeister'.

And that other one from the old days was Klang -

I used to drink a fair bit of Klang. I think it was about 7%, while ABC is more like 9%. Klang just means strong.

I’m no officionado or fan of lager-types, but Ganzberg, to me, is no less or more offensive than the others, save that it’s only dispensed from a can.
I prefer bottles. Give me a bucket of iced Peroni or Becks in bottles.

I’d prefer a draught Guinness. That ABC stuff is perilously close to being brain damage, I’m sure. However, as a marinade for beef in a pie, it could work.

Beer and Jameson/Ballantine's is how I survive on Thai beers. These days though, fresh, cold Tiger draft has seen some improvement.

I used to drink quite a bit of Cambodia draft (at a GSM beer bar) when it first came out. Was bored with Anchor and didn't quite relate well with Angkor. I do remember also quite a bit of Beer Lao (with whiskey) ending up on my bill at Sun Dance on 172.
