Beer economics

Yes, beer Lao is perfectly agreeable. Belgium beers really hit the spot, average of around $6 in bars, half of that in mini-marts.

None of the Cambodian beers are anything to rave about, but none that I’ve tried are especially bad. They taste like any other cheap lager, like the ones I grew up drinking, before this whole craft beer fad came along.

Am I the only one who just wants something cheap, cold, light, and refreshing, rather than a thick, hoppy, room temperature Ale, when it’s 35 degrees outside?

When I lived in Haeundae beach S. Korea, they taught me how to beef up the cheap beers with soju. Gets the job done quicker and less bloating/hangover. Better alcohol high. Less filling & tastes great! I call that combo an Asian Boilermaker.

I’ve never heard anyone mention which ones are the good ones.

Like you said before, none of them are anything home to write about, but they are tolerable and get the job done.

I stick with Cambodia beer when I do drink beer.

After a half rack, taste is irrelevant, me thinks.

I have had it with Cambodia beer, it is foul. I have been giving Beer Lao a go recently and that is better, but twice the price than the draught.

I have ordered a case of Kronenburg 1664 500ml cans and my local bar has agreed to chill them for me and I'll pay them a corkage fee of $1, the same as a glass of draught swill. I think it will be worth it.

Laos>Tiger>Anchor/Cambodia>Angkor>Ganzberg

Hanuman/Krud/Vatanak haven’t tried.

IMO

If it's available I prefer Beer Lao. Most of the time I drink Cambodia though. I don't really like draught. Hoegarten is good too but expensive to drink much of. I can't stand Ganzberg. Anchor White is foul stuff too, I can't even finish a can.

In high school, we'd drink Lucky Lager ... the underside of the cap had cool little image puzzles ($6 bucks a case on sale) ... Shaeffer too ... Schmidt too -- "The Beer That Grew With The Great Northwest" ... Mickey's Bigmouth too ... all cheap rotgut beers. In my Texas days it was always Lone Star.

Having my first Krud as I'm writing this and I am surprised. It's quite tasty and vaguely reminds me of Bulgarian beers. Definitely tastier than Ganzberg.

Yeah, I’d say Krud is an acquired taste. Drank it for the first time a few months ago in Kampot at my GF’s sisters house. Not my first choice but not drinkable. Tiger, although not a Cambodian beer, is pretty good.

But just like food, woman, clothing, amongst other things, beer is relative to one’s taste buds.
