Forgot to add, I rode by the Beer Lao brewery in Vientiane. They had fields of their own barley and maybe hops growing right outside of it. And such a wonderful aroma coming from the brewery itself. Sadly no tours. Beer Lao isn't owned by some mega spirits drink conglomerate. Another + in my book.

Yesterday evening, my girlfriend surprised me with a case of blonde Lao cans that she bought it from Taobao. I've never had the can before, so I'll see how it tastes later in the day. Seller is up somewhere on Xuefu Lu.

because BL is a real beer. Not the methanol/formaldehyde infused and watered down sewage water which we call chinese beer. It has the right amount of bitter and enough strength of a good beer.

It's an actual beer. Most chinese beers would at best be a lite beer, except the lack of flavor.

the have a storage facility in kmg. before i had a connection there. he was selling for 2kuai/bottle and can, less than the shop price. I.ll try to contact him if i still have his number.

That sounds nice. Keep us updated. I'll gladly buy a few

Moondog has big bottles of beer Lao .2 times bigger than the small one and only 30 kuai

Ifoundthetuna, do you truly believe that all Chinese beer is infused with methanol and formaldehyde, and made from sewage water?

Ifoundthetuna, don't. Just don't.

Please.

yankee00, with all due respect, I did not ask you. If people can make all sorts of absurd, slanderous claims about Chinese food, drink, culture, and people, then why can't I question their statements? Surely you do not oppose open conversation?

With same due respect, I was talking to iftt
