Being a middle aged Australian male, I like beer ! I wouldn’t expect this to be a huge surprise to anyone who knows me, and, based on stereotypes, probably also not a surprise to those who don’t! As a result, I think about beer regularly, and while quietly reflecting on this subject recently, a flash of inspiration hit me! I would share this love with others, on my travel blog! Biggest problem, of course, if on first glance, this doesn’t appear to have anything to do with travel, the subject of my blog?

So, I thought, I could always combine these two passions? No, not to get pissed in as many countries as possible, but, instead to share some simple information of some of the wonderful beers I have met while traveling!

Everyone knows Heineken, Fosters and Guinness, but what if I can give some insight and basic tasting notes on some of the more obscure beers. The ones you will never find outside of the country they are brewed in? Immediately, I think on brands like Everest Lager (Nepal), Can Tho Lager (Vietnam) & Golden Eagle (India). These and so many more!

I recon I have well over 100 beers I can call on that I have sampled in the last couple of years, and this will be a good start. However, being a trooper, I will not rest until I have bought all 21,387 beers of the world to you all (I’m just guessing about the 21,387, but I bet its lots!). Don’t expect this series of Blogs to be too serious, as I have no real skills in this area, except determination, experience and thirst!  In addition, I may well be inebriated when I post!

I will try to post a different beer about once a week, and I’ll see how it evolves. I don’t see why I couldn’t accept guest posts to this series, as I’m sure there is room for others in this field (the field being unqualified beer sampler).  Im getting thirsty just thinking about it! Stay posted (or even better, RSS’d)
