The problem with most Asian beer is.....

• It is mostly crap
• Mass market focus by breweries and retailers
• Emphasis on low cost and low quality
• Presence of large amounts of hangover inducing chemicals
• Over-branding, over-marketing and over-selling
• Premium beers are normally either imports or just overpriced swill
• Lack of decent black beers - ABC, Guinness and Black Panther are all way too strong to be regular tipples
• Protectionist governments who set high tariffs on import of drinkable beer in order to protect monopolistic domestic brewers (COUGH Thailand COUGH)
