For years, Foster’s was the only Aussie beer available on draft here and even it hardly qualifies as a Aussie beer these days since it no longer widely served in Australia.
We both love our Aussie beers, both the industrial brews and the numerous craft beers from Downunder. It was a pleasant surprise when we started [...]
It’s impossible not to have seen Tiger beer’s latest advertising campaign – The last Tiger worth playing for. Almost as sure as you would get brown and yellow tablets from a pack of M&Ms, you’ll spot Tiger’s new commercial blaring on television, plastered at bus shelters and walls of coffeeshops all over.
While the beer doesn’t [...]
Has it ever occurred to you that every time you walk into a supermarket, every other sign on the shelf says “Limited Offer”, “Must Buy”, “3 Day Special”, “While Stocks Last” or “Weekend Specials”?

Tsing Tao beer remains the most popular beer throughout China. Walk into any truly local restaurant and you’ll see tables ordering Tsing Tao bottles by the crate.

At some point in our lives, mundane activities will slowly find an annoying occupancy in our daily schedules. This is especially so after you finally move out on your own. When I had my bachelor’s pad in Kuala Lumpur, Monday nights was always reserved for a swim followed by laundry and mopping.

I’m sure lots of you have tried or at least seen, heard of Absinthe. It’s one liquor that has infamously hypnotized numerous creative minds including Vincent Van Gogh, Picasso, Ernest Hemingway and Oscar Wilde. Talented beyond their years, yet all had a streak of madness. Even Jack The Ripper was known to consume this drink [...]
