‘The finest Dutch beer around, Grolsch lager is made from two types of hops which have been incorporated into the Grolsch Bewery logo which is still in use today.’

‘The original golden beer, Pilsener Urquell is widely recognised as the Pilsener standard, glowing with aromatic Saaz hops, backed by the distinctive palate bitterness.’

‘A smooth and enjoyable, super crisp style which is an excellent compliment to Tonkatsu.Shoudl be served well chilled and washed down with Saki. ‘

‘The original Thai beer, Singha is a supremely fresh crisp lager style, yet reinforced with some hoppy, grainy complexity – a real suprise packet for a beer you can pick up for less than $AUD1 from a Phuket Beach stall’

‘A classic German lager with a formidable reputation. Becks is world renowned for its quality, helped by some extremely clever marketing.’

‘A great beer enjoyed all year long (though particularly in the warmer months), Corona is an international icon for Mexico with a light and summery flavour. Best drunk with a lime inserted into the neck ‘

Heineken – the quintessential lager with a unique fruity character and mild bitterness. The brew perfected by Gerard Heineken back in 1873 and Heineken is still made in exactly the same way today.

‘It pours a Pale golden color with a snow-white head.The aroma is clean, with a light pils malt character, spicy Saaz, with a mild herbal hops presence. The flavor starts with a light malt. Lots of carbonation. Smooth, clean flavour, with soft noble hopping coming through in the middle, and a light spicy saaz flavor in the finish. It’s a smooth and balanced beer with a very clean finish.’

‘Although the Italians aren’t known for their beer, this one does just fine. Good ice cold and pleasantly malty as it warms. Molto bene.’
