Country reviews
“cor..who'd want go there for a beer?”
General
“Thruout northern Panama you're in a rain forest. Bars are open air. Cost of a local beer like Balboa is $.45 US. Not much alcohol, but refreshing just the same. Watch out for the drunken locals who think every foreigner should buy them a beer.”

“Bumthang Lager is really tasty”
Thimphu
“Great little haven for beer lovers. Why not pop into one of the quiant little micro-breweries that scatter the foreshore of many of the costal cities. While you're there, the government run free tours of P'yŏngyang, a must for history bufs and beer-lovers alike. Make sure to give your regards to Kim Jong-II whilst in the captial, he will be only too pleased to pop out and say hello.”

“I agree with Jonny that the Myanmar Lager is well drinkable, both from the bottle and from tap. Prices though... are rocketing, with 1500 Ks (1.75 $) in the supermarket and mostly 2000 Ks (2.40 $) in bars and kiosks. Dagon is the low key beer, and with 1000 Ks/1.20$ supermarket price considerably cheaper. It's though still waiting in the fridge to be tested...”
