Budweiser (Belgique)Does InBev maintain its Beechwood ageing across the Atlantic? Does the King of Beers know where it is in the Southern Hemisphere? Can its advertising phenotype have expression in a place where the dominant trait is Heineken? Answer: No. No 1 - Found in a 500ml can, this beer has some hint of the peak Beechwood ageing most commonly remembered in the 1980s version of Drinkability King. No 2 - Budweiser barely scratches the veneer of Australasian drinking scene, in my experience. Just happy to see it in the bottle shops again after, say, 3 years. No 3 - Basically hidden in a few of the shops near me. Not always there. Only the most prodigious of shops with the lowest wages paid to the employees has this for any duration of its temporary availability. I was just talking with someone about my grudging respect for AB/InBev, shamelessly adaptable to the newest trends. It's the KISS of mass-produced swill; for anything that hits like the Chelada there are a half-dozen travesties like this:

Ekstra Svyturys
The godparent of other Lithuanian beers licensed by Carlsberg Group. Highly touted as decent Dortmunder pilsener in Beer Advocate and the like, it hits as advertised.

Nam Nam Alley
Pretty gutsy for a beer to name itself so near the gutter. Like Export 333 or Beer Saigon, this Viet beer slakes thirst on a hot day in a high humidity environment.
Only available in Straya or Vietnam.
