International Beer on a Budget

By Nick July 20, 2006

A new study states that 85% of international traveler’s have purchased at least one foreign made beer. Really? No not really, but personally, I think that atleast that many people will experiment with international beverages, including beer.

From what I hear, there’s nothing better than ordering a pint of the finest lager in the world from a bar in Belgium. As tempting as that sounds, I have a feeling that a a couple pints would break my daily budget in Belgium.

So, out of curiousity, I went on a search online for the world’s finest, and cheapest, beers. Luckily, I landed upon the TheBackpacker.com’s Global Beer Index which is all an international beer drinker needs.

This guide is amazing. It is huge. And it is honest. The beer guide has 82 pages of honest drinker reviews assorted by country. Most importantly, they also have a local price for each beer, which can put you in the ballpark of how much you will spend.

A japanese beer Kirin and German beer Licher, a few of the many beers included in the international beer guide.

TheBackpacker also offers a World Bar guide which has user reviews just like the beer guide does. They distinguish between party bars, clubs, pubs, and lounges, which is very helpful.
So thank you thebackpacker.com for hosting honest beer reviews. Now no traveler will ever have to waste away their money while experimenting with local beers.
