Tiger Beer

Advantages: A tasty drop of lager
Disadvantages: None, specifically, that I can pick out

...Every curry house sells it, and the argument goes which 'curry beer' is better; Cobra, Kingfisher or Tiger... well this review will describe the pros of Tiger beer in all it's glory. Born in Asia in 1932 and brewed and bottled by Hainan Asia Pacific Brewery Co., with some of the finest quality hops and malted barley and no artificial additives, Tiger beer has spread over the world to become one of the world's favourite, and most successful beers across the land. The malt barley hails from Europe and Australia, and the hops are specially produced in Germany. The yeast is also specially produced in Holland specifically for Tiger. The beer is brewed solely in the Far East and goes through rigorous quality control checks, supposedly 50 more than most other beers, to help ensure the beer has the brand's unique taste, just how...

Review of Tiger Beer

The KINGfisher of Beers

Advantages: Good value on special deals
Disadvantages: Not so great if you have to pay premium prices

...Have you heard the one about how copper wire was invented by two Scotsmen fighting over a penny? You haven't? Well I haven't got time to tell you it just now, but it's a blatant misrepresentation of the Scottish psyche. I was discussing this slur on our national character with a friend recently when I happened upon 4-pack (330ml) of KINGFISHER beer for the knock-down price of £1.99. I grabbed those suckers quicker than a Jock slipping out the fire exit when it's his round at the bar, and toddled off home by myself (so I didn't have to share them). But enough of that, what about the beer? KINGFISHER is India's leading brand of premium lager with a share approaching 25% of the total beer market, it's the top-selling Indian lager in the UK and Europe, and it's also available in 50 other countries...

Ahm nae crabbit with Crabbie's Original Alcoholic Ginger Beer*

Advantages: nice taste, refreshinmg
Disadvantages: not widely available

...I'm an old fashioned girl at heart and love the old fashioned drinks such as saspherlila, Dandelion and Burdock and cloudy lemonade. Most of all like the Famous Five I love ginger beer. I love strong flavours and there is nothing better on a hot day than the fiery hit of a decent ginger beer. To awaken and tantalise my taste buds. I tend to drink Old Jamaicabut was very excited when I came across Crabbie's original alcoholic ginger beer next to the real ales and ciders in Waitrose recentl Crabbie's are a Scottish company that are known for their green ginger wine but have now branched out intro grown up ginger beer that has enough alcohol in it at 4% to make Timmy and maybe aunt fanny a little tipsy. It is described on the bottle as being made from a unique recipe of fruit, spices and real ginger (thank god. I'm not sure what fake...

Review of Crabbie's Original Alcoholic Ginger beer

Banana? Tick! Beer? Tick! Bread?...um

Advantages: Yummy, beer, yum, banana...ooo 1 of your 5 a day!
Disadvantages: um, fattening

...Introduction: In my quest for interesting beers from the supermarket, I stumble across this one. It caught my eye as I need a nosh on a nana now and then. As a typical beer or ale, I wasn't really keen (by that I mean, I usually drink stouts or porters), but realizing that it contained banana, my interest was well and truly pricked. Yes, it actually contains banana and oddly, banana flavouring...weird huh? So in my trolley it went, and on a night in, I plucked it out and took a sup. Following my last 'beer' review as a guideline, I've reviewed the Banana Beerness in the same format... Smell: The smell is mild and not really banana-esque in aroma at all. However, it doesn't smell like regular beer or ale, but somehow more interesting and complex, the hoppiness certainly isn't as pronounced as a regular ale. The smell...

Tiger Beer

Advantages: Great Taste
Disadvantages: None

...Brewed in the tropical environment of the beautiful and warm far east; Tiger Beer is an extremely light tasting beer. This beer is smooth and will run down your throat nicely, complimanting any meal and hydrating on its own. Not only this but Tiger Beer is brewed to perfection with 250 quality control checks taking in place during its manufacture, 50 more than average beer comapnies. Even the glass of the bottle is specially made to protect the beer from harmful UV rays. Tiger Beer is also the winner of over 30 international gold medals and awards in Paris, Geneva, Rome, Lisbon and Madrid. I would highly recommend Tiger Beer to anyone, whether you are a fan of light or strong beers, there is no doubt that you will enjoy this....

Review of Tiger Beer

The Best Beer in the World

Advantages: Long session beer, excellent taste
Disadvantages: Expensive

...Tiger beer is the true Asian beer. The Tiger demands respect in Asia and throughout the world. Asia Pacific Breweries in Singapore, which is a joint venture between Frasers & Neave and Heineken NV, brew it (No wonder I like the taste). Tiger beer is the predominant brand of the company and was first brewed way back in 1932. Tiger beer is immensely popular throughout Asia and especially South East Asia. My first experience with Tiger Beer was surprisingly in Sierra Leone (West Africa). The reason why I ended up drinking Tiger beer there was because we had exported a 20ft. container load directly from Singapore to Sierra Leone of ABC Stout, which is also manufactured by Asia Pacific Breweries. In that container we had included 10 trays x 24 cans of Tiger Beer just for trial purposes. So that was my first experience with Tiger...

Get A Good Head On Linco Beer

Advantages: Convenient sachets for travelling. Good results for me.
Disadvantages: Less conditioning than using a separate conditioner.

...I have never been very keen on 2 in 1 shampoo and conditioners. With my hair being long and coloured I have usually found that formulas claiming to both shampoo and condition either leave it lank and lifeless, or as dry as a yardbrush and about as attractive. But when I travel I like to pack as little stuff as possible so I often end up trying out products that come in sachet form and this was why I bought the Linco Beer shampoo with built in conditioner. I know this brand has been around forever but I hadn't used it before. When I was looking in Superdrug for my holiday essentials, the bright yellow sachet of Linco Beer caught my eye. The offer was 45p for a twin-pack of sachets, which I thought was great value for money. Each sachet contains 14 mls of shampoo which I later found gives you more than enough for a thorough hairwash...

Fentimans Ginger Beer is real ginger beer

Advantages: It is real ginger beer
Disadvantages: None!

...As the website ( http://www.botanically-brewed-soft-drinks.co.uk ) proudly declares "To unlock the fulfilling, refreshing taste of a Fentimans Botanically Brewed Beverage, simply hold the bottle in your hand and with one good turn of the wrist invigorate the ingredients that lie dormant at the bottom of the bottle. "The beverage is now primed for your taste-buds; a simple twist of the crown, and you are ready to enter the satisfying world of our distinctive Soft Drinks." And that, really, is right! Fentimans make pop (I almost feel guilty about using the word) like it used to be made, like it SHOULD be made. There are other firms that claim to make "real" ginger beer or "real" cola or other "real" soft drinks. They witter on about their products being "sugar free" (WHY??) and merely bulk their drinks out with apple juice...

Beer, Breweries, Bars and Belgium!

Advantages: A good guide with useful info and humour.
Disadvantages: Is only his opinions.

...There are a few things that I just HAVE to pack when we go to Belgium. These are passport (can't get out of the country without it), money (beer tokens are needed for the trip!), clean underwear (well we ARE in company) and Tim Webb's Good Beer Guide Belgium. We do go to Belgium quite often and like to head off on the train to cities, towns and villages near where we are staying. Usually this is to check out the bars and to sample new and interesting beers. This is why the Good Beer Guide Belgium has become an essential tool for the Belgian Beer drinker. ~~~THE LAYOUT. The book is divided into sections making it very easy to find what you want. The index is also split into an alphabetical list of places and then beers, so you can cross reference the two if you need. The sections of the book are detailed on the contents page...

Review of Good Beer Guide Belgium - Tim Webb

Batemans Beer Festival, small but very good.

Advantages: Small but every bit as good as any big festival
Disadvantages: none at all if you get there for the beer.

...Bateman?s Brewery is in Wainfleet, Lincolnshire, on route to Skegness. Access is easy by train with a station at Wainfleet or by road just follow the A52 to Skegness and turn off at Wainfleet and follow the signs for Bateman?s or just look for the mill. I work on their Beer Festivals, and it is great fun. This year they had 10 barrels, which is a modest amount, but as it runs from Friday night until they run out on Saturday it can be just enough. We sold a lot on Friday and we bumped into a few people on the Saturday night in Boston who had travelled over for the festival and where disappointed that there was no beer left. So just for those who didn?t get a taste these are the beers of the festival. Rhymney Brewery, Bevans Bitter: Downtown Brewery, Quadhop: Hopback Brewery, Crop Circle: Lancaster Brewery, Red: Mauldons...
