Beer in Holland

Didn't even try to gather information. Too busy putting them down.
They are lighter than what I like, but all Holland beer are fair.

Not even sure if the names match the image...
Scott, stop trying to ash in my glass:)

After a countless tries of watered-down beer in China and Central Asia, finally a glass of beer with a bold flavor. But according to Greeks I met on the street, beer here has no "taste" in comparison to those of Greece.

Beer in Kyrgyzstan

Much of alcohol seem to be imported from Russia, so
finding a local beer was not as easy as other countries.
Local people also seemed to drink vodka and cognac
over beer.

Арпа, 11.%, Bishkek

Beer in Kazakhstan

Apparently there are a few beer made here, but for some reason I was not in the mood to drink as much and was not easy to find at local store. Not light, not dark, and it is rather plain. Local red wine Sahe ordered, sweet and served warm was far more interesting.

Белый Медведь

 

Beer in China

When comparing Tsingtao with other brands, it is clear that the most well known beer lacks flavor. I had Wusu from Urumqi the most, but it is often served warmer than hoped.


I still drank them anyway.

Beer in Finland

I accidentally erased all information, so I will only post images. Honestly, Finnish beer was not as impressive as I had expected. My expectation rose when I learned from more than one Finn that Finland has best water in the world, but I guess you will need more than water to make a good brew.

Beer in Iceland

 Apparently it is not allowed to sell beer in supermarkets and convenience stores; only available in liquor stores. Only alcohol beverage sold in booze shop is lite-beer, which contains about 2.5% or less alcohol. I had a chance to buy a pack by accident, and they are like water.

Known makers of beer here, are VIKING and EGILS. They are on a lighter side, and not bitter. I had a chance to try regional beer such as KALDI, a dark lager beer, and FREYJA, pilsner-like beer with a bitter flavor, which I enjoyed very much.
