I always thought that beer tastes about the same, no matter what country produces it. That is, if the manufacturer responsibly approaches his business, then there will be no difference. But how, I was wrong. Once, a friend came to visit me with a beer to watch a football match.
I was very surprised that I did not recognize any of the brands and was already a little disappointed. Turns out they were just foreign jars. As a result, now I drink beer not only from Russian producers, and this is what I usually choose.
Miller Genuine Draft (Miller Genuine Draft)
There are people who prefer only one type of beer. I think this is wrong. Surprisingly, beer can be varied, but each of the options is worthy in its own way. Sometimes light is better, and sometimes you can take dark or with additional flavors.
As for Miller, it is a light beer that does not have a sharp bitterness. It’s great for quenching your thirst on a hot day. Its taste is mild, without a sharp smell of hops. Interestingly, it does not undergo pasteurization, which allows you to keep notes of a beer barrel even in a can.
It is produced in the Czech Republic. You can buy Miller Genuine Draft for about 90 rubles. for a jar of 0,5 liters. However, despite the lightness of taste, it contains 4,7% alcohol. You have to be careful with him.

Important! Beer in cans retains its taste, color and aroma better, as it is protected from sunlight.
Blue Moon Belgian White (Blue Moon Belgian light)
This is another Czech representative, but it is prepared according to Belgian traditional recipes. It is worth saying that this is a craft beer, although it is produced in large quantities. And he has a fairly large army of admirers.
It is perfect for lovers of sweet beer. The characteristic features of Blue Moon Belgian White are the addition of orange peel and coriander during cooking. Naturally, citrus notes will be clearly audible in the taste.
What struck me was the amount of alcohol. It would seem that the beer is sweetish, it should be lighter, but the alcohol content is 5,4%. The cost of such a jar is around 90 rubles. Many consider it a women’s drink, but I can tell you, they are definitely wrong.

Interestingly! This brand also produces beer with other flavors, for example, with mango.
Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier (Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier)
This is a German beer, and this country is not in vain considered one of the best beer production quality. As for the Paulaner brand, it is quite well known both in Germany and in Russia. Paulaner Hefe-Weissbier is a light, unfiltered wheat beer that has a light amber color.
I want to tell you that a special patented technique is used in the preparation of this beer. It consists in using a peculiar type of yeast (top fermentation). Paulaner has an original taste, in which sourness, bitterness, and a little sweetness are felt.
It will cost about 150 rubles per jar. As for alcohol, it contains 5,5%. Due to its bright taste, this beer is suitable for any snack, since there are just a huge number of them in stores now. I tell you this based on my own experience.

Important! This beer is considered natural as it is not filtered.
Guinness Draft (Guinness Draft)
When it comes to bitter alcohol, it’s hard to ignore the Irish. It is they who prepare this unimaginable Guinness Draft beer. This is a classic dark Irish stout that has a dark brown hue.
Guinness is prepared from roasted and caramelized malts. Roasted hops and barley are also listed as ingredients. Guinness Draft has an incredible tart taste, in which notes of coffee can be distinguished. Beer goes well with grilled meats or smoked meats.
Its peculiarity is that there is a special nitrogen capsule in the can, which prevents the beer from being gasified. But at the same time, thanks to her, when pouring beer into a glass, a soft and pleasant foam will still form. The cost of the bank is approximately 150 rubles.

Important! The capsule is activated immediately after opening the jar.
Gintarinis Dark Ale
This is the cheapest option. It costs about 65 rubles, but this does not mean that this type of beer is worse than the others. It, like the other brands mentioned, has a decent quality. The birthplace of this beer is Lithuania.
Gintarinis Dark Ale is a dark beer with a good taste of malt and freshly baked bread. The beer itself is quite dense and is made from roasted barley. If we talk about alcohol, then its content is 5,9%.
Most dark beers boast a large amount of alcohol (in contrast to this), which sometimes only spoils the impression of the product. I must say, I was surprised by the fact that such a luxurious beer is produced in the former Soviet republic.

Summing up, I also want to mention Oktoberfest. This is a beer festival that is held annually in Germany. I’ve heard conflicting information about him. It’s about the quality of the beer they serve.
Some claim that they have not tried anything tastier, others that the exact same is sold in every Russian stall. So what is it really like? If anyone was a member of Oktoberfest, then share your impressions.
Dear readers, remember that alcohol abuse harms your body. Take care of yourself!
