Seat of Our Pants

I know what you’re thinking – FINALLY an important post here on seatsofourpants.com! Let’s get down and dirty and talk beer.

The beer pictured above is probably the best selling domestic brew: Everest, a classic European-style lager. While it is quite balanced, it doesn’t stick out in any sort of interesting way. If I had a complaint about it, it would be the fact that it is a bit fizzy. Generally speaking, it is very anonymous, and if you’re looking for a beer to relax with after a long day of trekking, Everest is a good choice.

Nepal Ice is the other brand, and it isn’t as widely available. Indeed, nothing much sets it apart from Everest except maybe that it is less carbonated. If given the choice between them, I’d go for Nepal Ice on most occasions, but I can rarely find it. Wifey, on the other hand, picks Everest as her numero uno. It is an irreconcilable difference, but one that I expect our marriage will survive.

Here’s my favorite Nepalese beer: Gorkha. What makes Ghorka beer better than the other domestic lagers is its hoppy edge. It isn’t strong enough to make it very noticeable, but it does make it more interesting to drink. It also has a cool, old fashioned label that I happen to like.

All in all, the domestic beer of Nepal is totally okay but nothing that you’d need to look into acquiring at home. I give it three mountaintops out of five. For those that wish to pay a buck extra, Tuborg, Carlsberg, San Miguel and sometimes Lowenbrau are almost always on the menu. Just make sure to avoid the Guinness.
