Below, I have comprised a list of different brands of beers I have consumed to date on our travels. Note that "I" equals Devin, although, in fairness, Emily has raised a can/bottle/glass on more than one occasion as well. I should also note that it is hot in Asia...and beer is very cheap...my 'lushtification'. So. My approach is quantity, in terms of variety and the obscure. That said, I certainly will not proclaim this to be a list of the highest quality "must haves" of the world... it may very well end up being just the opposite. Lastly, I should mention that I started compiling this list upon entering Vietnam, so I may have missed or 'forgot' a few in the countries prior...
Wow. I feel like a college freshman all over again...let this little tally be my dorm room mantle, on which I proudly display all my empty bottles. Emily is very impressed.
