Pale Ale • Belgium
Like a wheat beer without that annoying wax-paper aftertaste. This hay-hued ale is super fruity, in a totally not gay way.
Scrimshaw
Pilsner • Mendocino County, California
A crisp session beer with buttery notes.
Tsingtao
Pale Lager • China
China’s number one export? Not dangerous painted toys, but this thin-headed, light beer with a slightly hoppy floral character.
Bohemia
Pilsner • Mexico
Melon-tinged. Pairs well with tacos alpastor.
Harbin
Pale Lager • China
Sweet. Bonus: Bottles are army-tank safe!
Smithwick’s
Red Ale • Ireland
Called “Smiddicks” in Ireland. Nutty, silky.
Asahi
Lager • Tokyo
Sharp on the tongue. Gets you effortlessly toasted as a giddy Japanese businessman.
Leinenkugel Sunset Wheat
Wheat Ale • Chippewa Falls, Wisconsin
Citrussy. Don’t add an orange wedge. It ruins it. Plus, it makes you look like a girl. There. We said it.
Kingfisher
Lager • India
Mellow. Prefect to pair with a Bollywood flick, Tika, or tech support calls.
McSorley’s Ale
Ale • Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania
A gulpable amber ale. Originally brewed for one of New York City’s oldest bars.
Hoegaarden
Belgian White • Belgium
Velvety with hints of coriander and orange. Tastes like shit, however, on Belgian waffles.
Chimay Rouge
Pilsner • Belgium
A reddish body and honey-sweet aroma.
Saison Dupont
Farmhouse Ale • Belgium
The Belgians, God love ’em, like to get all weird with their beer. Farmhouse ale? Whatever, dude. Still, SD is nice—bursting with notes of almond and grapefruit.
