Just had a visit from our cambodia sales guy (sihanoukville). He told me that from now on cambodia stops selling draft beer outside of Phnom Penh. No new/last order allowed. We should inform them when our stock is finished, then they will come and pick up the equipment.

they better also stop selling it within Phnom Penh..

That's a bit odd, maybe they just can't meet the demand and are gonna focus on their biggest selling market.

That will invite Hunaman to replace them with their draft.

What has happened is that Cambodia discovered the agents had been robbing them blind and yanked the contracts. Basically they were stealing "free" kegs from the brewery and selling them to bars

So no more from the former Cambodia distribution company

Presumably Cambodia will appoint a new distributor now.

Cambodia and Angkor often used to leave me waking up in the night with a pounding headache anyway. Haven't touched either of them for a couple of years now.

Half the places here don't sell draft anyway, cans only.

Imagine that would be quite a bit of equipment and empty kegs getting returned to their place in Phnom Penh?

Interesting. I've been baffled, at times, how little damage Cambodia seems to have done to me, even when I clearly had too much.

So much so that it has become my go-to option if and when I have to drink local beer.

No more 50c beers in Kampot, no smoking soon time to leave.
