>> Most Popular Beers Around The World - Part I

Belgium - Jupiler
Jupiler is the most famous and most popular beer in Belgium. This delicious lager is brewed with the finest ingredients (malt, maize, water, hop, yeast), using undisputed craftsmanship, ensuring an outstanding beer quality. Jupiler offers refreshment on a wide variety of occasions, thanks to its digestibility and accessible taste. Jupiler (5,2 % ABV) is ideally served at a temperature of 3°C.

Czech Republic - Gambrinus
The most widely available beer in the Czech Republic, Gambrinus is made by the same people who make Urquell and the two taps usually sit next to each other. Although Gambrinus also produce a 12-degree, it’s rarely seen on draught to avoid competition with Urquell. Its popularity is based on its price (usually the cheapest beer on tap) and the fact that you can get it almost anywhere. Gambrinus is pleasant enough and you can drink it all day, maintaining a healthy buzz and most of your motor skills. The beer is named after Gambrinus, a legendary king of Flanders known for his mythical brewing abilities.

Japan - Asahi Super Dry
Asahi is Japan’s original, traditionally brewed, super dry beer. Rich in flavour, it cuts to a clean, crisp edge. Born out of a desire to create a beer that would compliment food, Asahi Super Dry quickly became the most popular beer in Japan. And with a population of 127 million people, that’s saying something. Now available in over 50 countries worldwide, the refreshing taste of Asahi Super Dry is distinguished by its sophisticated and satisfying clear taste.

Australia - Victoria Bitter
Victoria Bitter, or VB as it is commonly called, has the highest market share of all beer sold in Australia, both on tap and packaged. Victoria Bitter is brewed by Carlton & United Beverages, a subsidiary of Foster’s Group, brewers of the Fosters brand beer. Despite its name, it is technically a fairly standard commercial lager rather than a bitter, although perhaps slightly more bitter than many. Originally available at a strength of 4.9% ABV, Victoria Bitter is now sold at a slightly lower concentration of 4.8% ABV to capitalize on potential tax savings. Victoria bitter is available in New Zealand, the UK, and to a limited extent, other countries abroad.

China - Tsingtao
The Tsingtao Brewery was founded in 1903 by German settlers in Qingdao, China. Tsingtao Lager is brewed and bottled by the Tsingtao Brewery-the 10th largest brewery in the world. Also, Tsingtao Lager is the 11th largest beer brand worldwide. Introduced to the United States in 1972, Tsingtao soon became the top-selling Chinese beer in the U.S. market and has maintained this leadership position ever since. The Tsingtao brand is sold in more than 50 countries worldwide and accounts for more than 50 percent of China’s total beer exports. In fact, Tsingtao is the number-one branded consumer product exported from China.

France - Kronenbourg 1664
Sold in 70 countries worldwide, Kronenbourg 1664 is France‘s No 1 selling beer and the UK’s second biggest premium selling lager. Its unique recipe is distinguished by the use of the aromatic Strisselspalt hop - the ‘caviar of hops’ which sets it apart from other beers.

Argentina - Quilmes
Cervecería y maltería Quilmes is an Argentine Brewery founded in 1888 in Quilmes, Buenos Aires Province, by Otto Bemberg, a German immigrant. The company quickly started growing and in the 1920s it was already the most popular beer in Buenos Aires. Since then, it has become something of a national symbol, and has 75% of the beer market share in Argentina. Quilmes is the beer for all who enjoy the flavor of getting together. It is the beer chosen by those who value family and friendship; those who like to have fun and share.

Bulgaria - Kamenitza
Kamenitza is Bulgaria’s leading beer brand. It is an easy to drink, refreshing and natural pilsner of excellent quality that incorporates more than 125 years of brewing tradition. Kamenitza (4,4 % ABV, 10,5 P) gains its characteristic flavor from the use of crystal-clear water, high quality malted barley and the finest hops. The brand has been recently re-launched in a new modern green bottle and a unique and stylish vertical design. Kamenitza is masculine and hearty and at the same time spontaneous and dynamic.
