Ah, a topic close to my liver!

Thanks for your beer ratings, emdee. My own extensive beer-tasting experience agrees with you, although I rate Singha slightly higher and have never tried Anchor or this legendary Boag's Premium. Shall have to hunt that one out next time I'm on the opposite side of the planet!

I'm glad someone else hates Leo with a passion as much as I do. One bottle was enough for me of that filth!

I'm partial to the odd Tsing Tao as well. When I was in Beijing I found a hostel that was selling bottles of heavenly Tsing Tao for the equivalent of US $0.10 each. Needless to say, the early evenings, evenings and early mornings were spent at the bar!

Bob, this Federbraeu beer sounds interesting. I am rather partial to my German beers. Whenever I'm in Bangkok I usually gravitate towards the Old German Beerhouse on Sukhumvit Soi 11 for an evening to sup on the imported hangover-free German beers
