A Breweries & Beer Travelogue

Racquet Social

Travel memories are often linked to food and drink, 

A missed connection in Frankfurt translated to a couple of German beers that I had never tried before.

Warsteiner at the Frankfurt Airport

What better way to take a break in Vienna than a beer and schnitzel in a Cafe named Mozart!

Ottakringer in Vienna 

Pilsner Urquell at Lokal, Prague

The Czechs like their beer foam. You can order a beer with 90% foam and 10% beer. No discout, though!

Only after I started drinking it did I realize that it is a Czech beer and not Hungarian.

Krusovice in Budapest

Guinness in Dublin

  Guinness and Irish Stew, a great start to my Dublin trip.

I picked a beer called Bikini Blonde from Maui's namesake brewery as I took in the Hawaii vibe.

 Maui Beer in Fairmont Maui

 Kona Brewing's Longboard Island Lager, in a Chinese restaurant in Honolulu.

The Hotel Nacional de Cuba, with its view of the esplanade, was a perfect place to try a Cerveza Cristal.

Cristal, Cuba's Beer

Cusquena is a popular beer in Peru. The JW Marriott Bar was the perfect place to check it out.

 After a tour of the rainforests outside Panama City, the Panama lager was a welcome refreshment.

 When you have had your fill of rum-based cocktails in Jamaica, you drink Red Stipe.

 Red Stripe in Montego Bay

My Tokyo visit coincided with the Yebisu Beer Festival held in the Yebisu Garden Place, a short walk from Ebisu station.

Chang in Bangkok

Chang & Singha are the two most popular Thai beers. You would need them to wash down the spicy thai curries.

Bira in Delhi

Bira was the first IPA beer brewed & bottled in India.I first tried it at the JW Marriott Aerocity. Its line of craft beers are worth checking out.

Lion Beer at Taj Samudra, Colombo.

Carlsberg holds a stake in Sri Lanka's Lion Brewery; hence the glass. 

The first Triple IPA beer ever to be brewed came from Russian River Brewing Co. Never heard of them? Look up Pliny the Younger beer.

Russian River, Santa Rosa, CA

Celebrations can get big in  Las Vegas. Especially, if you are part of a bachelor party.

 A German style beer brewed in San Francisco, enjoyed on a California beach.

 Opting for burger & beer in California wine country.

 Hard to beat! Brunch and beer with magnificent views of the Pacific coastline in Malibu.

 Lagunitas IPA at Geoffry's Malibu 

My first lambic beer experience.  It falls somewhere between a  sour beer and a white wine.

 Cantillon at Mimi, Toronto

Cheers to Beer & Travel!
