2. SAN MIGUEL PALE PILSEN - Philippines
This golden brew is said to have been “nourishing Filipino friendships for over 100 years.”

3. KING FISHER - India
It’s Indian, so you know it’s going to be light, letting you slug it back while piling in the spicy curry. Perfect with hot food or on its own on a hot day.

4. RED STRIPE - Jamaica

7. LÖWENBRÄU - Germany
Great green bottle taste: fresh and almost sturdy. Would go great with a brat! FYI: Beer turns skunky when bright light strikes the hops, which is more likely to happen if the bottle is clear or green. Grab cases that are further in on the shelf or cooler.

9. TSINGTAO - China
Tastes clean and clear. Light, crisp and communist!
