One of the really good things about Asia is the beers in the various countries...we absolutely loved Beer Lao when in Laos...it's more like a larger than a beer...beer is a very general term in the end...it's gotta be the lightest beer I think we've ever tasted...extremely good and perfect for the tropics...
In general Mike and I like the Asian beers and we usually make a point of drinking the local beers...when in Rome!!!
The Angkor is very good in Cambodia, Halida is very good in Vietnam...and none of us will ever forget the great Singha...what a gutsy beer!!!
I had quite a collection of beers brought home over the last 4 years but at Christmas when we thought we'd surely be in Phuket by August, we chilled them all and had a pi$$-up...Was good fun but won't be in Phuket by August...spewing

Man that bangin' hurts my head!!!
