Anchor beer seems to be in steep decline …
Anchor (cans) is my beer of choice when I’m in bars.
I thought it was the most popular beer for expats.
Every bar I’d go to would have Anchor cans, for years.
Nowadays some expat bars have stopped stocking it.
They say “drink Cambodia beer” which is similar in taste but not the same.
Have any other Anchor drinkers noticed this, and did you switch to Cambodia beer or just stop going to bars that no longer carry Anchor?

I find Cambodia beer to be the least disgusting one so am happy to hear about this development
Money can't buy happiness but it can buy beer

It’s partly to do with Anchor technical support - useless. So many bars got rid of the draft and cans.
People of the world, spice up your life.

For what it is worth...My fingers and knee joints got all ducked up from the uric acid in Cambodia brand beer....Tried to drink it for a while because of all the free ringpull beers but had to switch back to Anchor which also tastes better

If you have problems with gout, beer is certainly your enemy. Any beer. As far as I know, no beers contain uric acid, but purines which are broken down into uric acid in the body. I should think that the amount of purines in Cambodia and Anchor are similar (purines are a byproduct of the yeast fermenting), but maybe the prospect of prizes made you drink more
P.S.: As I suffer from gout, I have looked into this subject a little bit and ideally, no beer at all is the only way. A way I have not yet managed.

Not good either, like all alcohol. Gout is a genetic, not a dietary disease. Watching your diet will help, but someone with high uric levels will not get to normal levels by diet alone; only with medication. That is why I basically said "fuck it", continue drinking beer, and deal with the occasional gout attacks.Apollo91881 wrote: ↑Tue Feb 22, 2022 1:53 pmCan you drink liquor?
