Thailand
 |
Beer Chang – 6.4% Brewed in Thailand
Delicious hoppy flavour but slightly bitter |
| |
 |
Heineken – 5% Brewed in Thailand
The usual suspect - seems to be very popular in Thailand |
| |
 |
Singha – 6% Brewed in Thailand
Very tasty lager, not seeming as strong as it is! |
| |
| |
Singha Gold – 4.8% Brewed in Thailand
A good easy-drinking lager |
| |
|
Singapore
 |
Tiger – 5% Brewed in Singapore
An excellent local brew |
| |
|
Australia
 |
Cascade Premium Light - 2.8% Brewed in
Tasmania
A light easy-drinking lager - refreshing but not too
strong! |
| |
 |
Cascade Premium – 5.2% Brewed in
Tasmania
A good lager from Australia’s oldest brewery,
established in 1824, but not as flavoursome as Tooheys
or Hahn
|
| |
 |
Hahn Premium – 5%
Excellent flavour and very much enjoyed (or did I just
need it on such a hot day)
|
| |
 |
James Squire Original Amber Ale –
5%
Darker than the Pilsener (see below) and a bit overpowering
|
| |
 |
James Squire Original Pilsener –
5%
Excellent lager with very good hoppy flavour
|
| |
 |
Matilda Bay – Brewed in Western
Australia – 5%
Rather bitter and not especially nice
|
| |
 |
Melbourne Bitter – 4.9%
Another good brew and very similar to Victoria Bitter
|
| |
 |
Tasman Bitter – 4.8%
Extremely tasty and a firm favourite so far. It seems
however that all bitter in Australia is what we call
lager in the UK
|
| |
 |
Tooheys Extra Dry – 5%
Excellent for drinking on a hot sunny day overlooking
the Sydney Harbour Bridge. Yes, the background is real! |
| |
 |
Tooheys New
Really good flavour |
| |
 |
VB (Victoria Bitter) - 4.9%
Lovely – one my favourites in Australia |
| |
(sorry, no photo) |
XXXX Gold – 3.6%
Quite dark and not as flavoursome as I expected from
the colour |
| |
|
New Zealand
 |
Speights Gold Medal Ale - 4%
Great taste - my favourite New Zealand beer |
| |
 |
Steinlager - 5%
New Zealand's famous lager, as drunk here on Milford
Sound. Fairly average brew however. |

Tasting Tray at The Malthouse, Wellington |
| |
 |
Limburg Witbier - 5%
A white beer from Hastings available at The Malthouse,
Wellington - quite good but still prefer Belgian Hoegaarden
|
| |
|
The Cook Islands
 |
Cooks Lager - 6% Brewed on Rarotonga,
The Cook Islands
Rather soapy and quite a bitter aftertaste. Preferred
the Samoan beer below. |
| |
 |
Vailima – 4.9% Brewed in Apia,
Samoa
A very good and tasty lager imported from Samoa
|
| |
|
United States of America
Didn't have long enough here to taste much U.S. beer (and
anyway Bud****er is not worthy of inclusion on any page about
beers).
 |
|
However one store on Fishermans Wharf, San
Francisco had such a huge range of beers from around the
world, that a couple of photos cannot really do it justice
