beer binge

the best perk of flying business class is the easy and unlimited access to booze especially beer. my more or less 24 hour travel turned out to be quite a pleasant experience. i was buzzed. hehe.

since i was flying on an asian airline, cathay, i decided to stick with asian brews. i was not too excited since it was not my first time to try them, but it's always nice to be reacquianted. beer is beer.

some of the good stuff i downed.

kirin (japan) - this is a light flavored beer with a bit of grain and tinge of bitterness and fairly dry finish. this is the only japanese beer that i ever tried so i don't really have any point of comparison. san miguel super dry is still a lot better though.

singha (thailand)- i think singha is considered the best selling beer in thailand. i'm not surprised. i like it. there are some similarities to san mig light. another thing, last year, chelsea fc announced that its signing singha beer as the club's official beer sponsor. i'd say fairly a good choice.

tsingtao (china) - some facts first.
- tsingtao lager was first brewed and bottled by the tsingtao brewery in 1903
- tsingtao lager is now sold in 62 countries and regions around the globe including japan, germany, france, uk, italy, canada, brazil and mexico
- tsingtao lager is the #1 consumer product exported from china.
- Following its introduction to the united states in 1972, tsingtao lager soon became the #1 selling Chinese beer.

tsingtao is actually pretty good. it's easy to down and versatile for food pairing. i'm not surprised it's #1.
