Beer & Pizza Review #6

BEER LAO ADDITION

Laos… one of the poorest countries in the world, a very simple people… produce one of the best beers you will found outside of the western world.

BEER LAO

Beer Laos is cheap and full of flavor and nothing beats relaxing in a restaurant or bar on the banks of the Mekong River chugging down a large sized Beer Lao. It actually has flavor and fullness and doesn’t does like water which most of the other beers around here do. It is a premium lager and can put some european beers to shame.

As far as pizza goes… I only had it once in Laos. Later that night I had terrible diarrhea. That being said, the pizza was actually pretty good but you won’t catch me trying it again just incase some ingredient was the culprate.
