It's a bit more complicated than that...
When in Spain....

Strong but not characterful - I'd remembered it as something more than that. And the glass was marked "Made in Germany". But I was doing good - the bottle told me that the sales income from the beer goes to good causes, which prompted a fascinating conversation about what "sales income" actually means and how much of the income can be stripped out for the distributor, advertisers, ingredients and sundry other expenses before it can't be called "income" any more under various accounting conventions (or "recepti" in Italian or "ingresos" in Spanish). Sadly nothing in French, which I suspect would be definitive.

What an exciting life we do lead. But the beer is cheap (somewhere between €2.50 and €3.50 for a 40cl glass of Estrella or the island equivalent.)

No, brewed by us at Robinsons. New beers. Three in total. An IPA, golden Ale and a Triple Hop.
Oh, I see - I had no idea you were at Robbie's (done the brewery tour; fab buffet)

So why the Smiths reference?

Not one for true officionados...but worth 25p a bottle next time you are in Laos...the brewers description still makes me shudder :hyper:

The secret to Beerlao Gold’s preciousness lies in one of its main ingredients, the “Khao Kai Noy” rice. A Lao specialty, Khao Kai Noy is very popular among locals as well as foreigners due to its good scent and non-sticky texture.
Somewhere, there is a photo of me buying a beer Lao, with the required bank notes spread along the bar.

No idea. The other labels are a Smithfield canal type image and our Brewery is on the other one. Not what I would have considered iconic Manchester images, with the possible exception of the Lads Club.
The Lad's Club is in Salford.

@nickyboy and I discussed a ride out to the brewery a while back with the intention of doing a tour (and food). Maybe we should resurrect that plan

Brave man! I got the boat over from Thailand side of 'Golden Triangle', to be honest the whole episode is a bit hazy to say the least...3 or 4 lost days but i'm sure it was good?

The Smiths were photographed in front of the Lads' club (inner sleeve of The Queen Is Dead IIRC):music:.
