I cracked open the Beers of the World pack and looked at the contents. There were a variety of bottles. Newcastle and Modelo were clear glass. Calsberg, moosehead and tsingtao were in tinted glass, but not dark. Köstritzer, Sapporo, O.K. Beer Okocim, Bitburger and Kronenbourg 1664 were dark glass.
I've had Carlsber before. It's okay.
I've had Newcastle before. I like it.
I've had Tsingtao before. I like it.
The rest are all new to me. My only disappointment is that of 10 beers, they represent 9 countries.
Carlsberg - Denmark
Moosehead - Canada
Tsingtao - China
Modelo - Mexico
Newcastle - England
Sapporo - Japan
O.K. Beer Okocim - Poland
Kronenbourg 1664 - France
Köstritzer and Bitburger - Germany
Why does Germany get double representation. There are so many other places out there that make beer. Good beer. Why isn't there Czech beer, Irish, the Netherlands. Or maybe something a little further from the norm that we see in the US? Brazil, or someplace in Africa?
Well, I guess I'm not really complaining. If I really want to try out something else, there are so many places that do build-your-owns that if I decide to stop being lazy, I can go out and get exactly what I want.
