Beer Me – Czechia Edition

Clint R — Sun, 30 Jul 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Like Germany, Czechia is another country in Europe making a claim as the land of “the original beer.” Brewing in the country dates back as far as the year 993, and the tradition continues into the modern era. Also like Germany, you won’t find as many “craft” breweries in the American style in Prague. These […]

Beer Me – Deutschland Edition

Clint R — Sun, 09 Jul 2023 13:00:00 +0000

Germany is one of those countries (yes there are several) claiming status as the “birthplace” of beer and brewing. Indeed, there are many breweries in the country founded before the discovery of America. Further, while there are a few beers you can easily find throughout the nation, most often you’ll find each region, city, or […]

Beer (or Chai) Me – India Edition

Clint R — Mon, 19 Jun 2023 12:00:00 +0000

In contrast to the amazing and excellent variety of Indian curry, the beer landscape is not as well-developed. Indian culture has a fairly long history of alcohol prohibition; and while you can definitely find alcohol, bars, and other places to drink throughout the country today, it is definitely not on the same level as other […]

Beer Me – Korea Edition

Clint R — Tue, 02 May 2023 12:00:00 +0000

We’ve been pleasantly surprised with the craft beer scene in several countries throughout Asia, but after all our sampling would have to say Korea’s is the best. There is a wide selection of “domestic” type beers in Korea – Cass, Hite, Kloud – available at convenience stores and pretty much every restaurant/bar. These are all […]

Beer Me – Thailand Edition

Clint R — Sun, 05 Feb 2023 14:00:00 +0000

The unofficial global beer tour continues with Thailand, the 7th country on our trip. Thailand – like most other nations in Southeast Asia (and indeed, the world) – is dominated by a few large beer brands you’ll find pretty much everywhere. In Thailand, the major players are Chang, Singha, and Leo. (We mainly drank Chang). […]

Beer Me – Bali Edition

Clint R — Wed, 21 Dec 2022 13:00:00 +0000

Continuing our tour of beers across the globe with our stop in Bali. Indonesia is one of those “one national beer” countries – in this case the brand is Bintang. You can generally find Heineken at most places (as with most of the world) and there is a small but growing craft beer movement in […]

Beer Me – Singapore Edition

Clint R — Mon, 21 Nov 2022 14:00:00 +0000

Another country, another set of beers to explore! Singapore was a bit of a mixture on the beer front – while they do have their “standard” beers throughout the country (most often seen is Tiger), there is also a pretty lively craft brewing scene which was a pleasant surprise! Craft brewing is actually having a […]

Serendipity in Singapore – New Friends & Old

Clint R — Mon, 14 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

We’ve written a few times about rolling with, and adapting to some difficulties on the road. However, it’s important to remember that world travel often leads to unexpected positive experiences as well. For example: during our visit to Singapore we got to spend time with both one of Clint’s friends from childhood, as well as […]

Beer Me – New Zealand Edition

Clint R — Thu, 10 Nov 2022 13:00:00 +0000

We continued the trend of drinking beer in every country on our trip – 60 days in New Zealand gave us a lot of time to sample the product! In addition to its famous wine-growing regions, New Zealand is also home to a climate very well-suited to growing hops. As a result, the country is […]

New Zealand Wine Trail Part 3 – Central Otago

Clint R — Mon, 03 Oct 2022 12:00:00 +0000

Part 1 – Part 2 Our final stop on the New Zealand Wine Trail was the Central Otago region, in the heart of the South Island. This region is the youngest in New Zealand and is not nearly as big as Marlborough, producing just ~4% of the country’s total wine; however it more than makes […]
