Beer and Pizza Review #7

Wednesday, June 6th, 2007

Ok, this is the final Beer and Pizza review. I know, sad isn’t it?

Cambodia & Indoniesia addition.

I have a sad sad regret. I never tried pizza in either Cambodia or Indonesia. However I did try brains. I’m not sure what kind of animal it was but in Bali I munched on some bright yellow curried brains. It was terrible mostly because I knew it was brains. The interesting thing about pizza in Cambodia is that lots of shops are called “Happy Herb Pizza” or “Happy Pizza” and that is basically a pizza with THC cooked into it or magic mushrooms. You can tell by the name of the place and the picture usually has a crazy bloodshot eyed cartoon character eating it. I did not try any so I have no review on the pizza itself although it is completely legal in both Laos and Cambodia.

The beer in Cambodia was some of the cheapest I was able to find. Angkor Beer is the cheapest and is brewed locally. Happy hours had the beer sold at .50 for about 12 ozs and .75-$1 any other time of the day. The beer wasn’t all that great but for a price like that there was no other option in my opinion.

There is also Anchor beer which I’m not sure where exactly it is brewed but you can find it all over SE Asia and it is a bit better than Angkor. They are both typical ales. Light and tasteless but they do the job.

Then there is Bintang which is a beer sold through out Bali in Indonesia. It is the only non-ale of the beers around the world since it is a pilsner. It had a lot more flavor but it was more bitter than any of the others. Still, it was the only choice in Bali unless I wanted to drink a Heineken or a Budweiser. I spent most of my time in Indonesia drinking tequila and whiskey. It was my final week… I was allowed to celebrate.

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.
