Tiger Beer in Laos
It is with mixed feelings, my fellow beer swilling Asia travellers, that I pass on a report that a brewery for Tiger beer is being built in Lao PDR.
While I personally like Tiger beer just fine and I'm a big believer in competition, there's something that seems not quite right about drinking any other beer than Beerlao in Lao. Oh well, life goes on.

And, for those interested in Asian beer (beyond what's available at the United NRT Red Carpet Club), http://beerasia.blogspot.com/

I have far more important news -- Beer Lao is now legally available in Thailand! Ask at your favorite farang-oriented bar. Rumor says that, come ASEAN tariff reductions in 2008, Beer Lao can be imported into Thailand at <20 B a bottle and it'll take the market by storm...
