Beerlao - Laos -
I wanted shitty beer in the worst way. I went into my beer spot looking for it. I didnt want good taste, I didnt want a surprise. I went in there looking for something that looked like it was going to taste like the bottom of a shoe. What I got was not what I wanted, but a surprise non the less. It was awesome.
Looking at the box and seeing it was made in Laos, I was sure I had some certified mule piss. Where the fuck is Laos anyways? I had to look.
Laos is snuggled right next to Thailand, Vietnam, and Cambodia. I cant believe I didn't die.
Fun fact: They love communism.
They would be so mad to know I like their beer and also like capitalism.
It should all add up to one shitty beer, but nay. Its kick ass.
These guys take their beer seriously. The hops and yeast are imported from Germany and based on locally grown jasmine rice. The shits legit and its won a few awards internationally. They also have the stranglehold on beer in Laos, 99 percent of it. The Cambodian shit must not be selling well, and the Vietnamese beer has a strong taste of napalm. That being said, I want to try a beer from both of these countries.
Beerlao has a U.S. micro brew taste, and I quickly thought of Dogfish Head when I had my first bottle. Smooth going down, and It didnt come back up so thats always a plus.
