I liked me some TsingTao back in the day. It goes really well with Chinese take-aways, don't cha know.

I'm surprised not to see Cobra (Indian beer favoured over here too) on the chart.

But I can attest that if you ask for a lager in Amsterdam you will get Heineken every time. In half litre glasses that are 4/5 beer and 1/5 head. So everyone who goes to Amsterdam gets head one way or another.
It's actually a perfect tourist beer, especially in the hot weather. Light and not too gassy (that's all in the froth).

It's the African versions of familiar beers you have to watch out for.
They're usually brewed locally under licence to contain more alcohol than in their country of origin, and the heat means you sweat all the useful liquid out far too quickly, making you thirsty, so you have another...
And over here (England) beers in Afro-Caribbean areas re-import them. You can get in real trouble drinking with Jamaicans, trust me. And I'm not talking about the men.
