My kind of guy; believe the best in folks. I live in a geographical part of the world where Canadians get offended if you don't consider them "Americans". But I did make an honest mistake. I thought those pictures were from England, not one of it's "vassals".
It's decent. India is a mass consumption market. Very few takers for craft stuff. So they mostly stick with lagers. For a lager, Kingfisher is decent, though the domestics and export varieties taste very different.
If you are a whiskey fan, you should try Paul John Single Malt from Goa, India. Very highly rated!

Interesting, assuming you have tried both, what's the difference between the domestic and export version ?
And Special thanks for your whisky recommendation
I'm surprised that my favourite online whisky store provides the Paul John Single Malt. The bottle is about 40 Euros/43 USD. Think I will give it a try.
Are you travelling India frequently ?
Never made it to India although I always wanted to see Bombay/Mumbai. But my wife doesn't want to and she is
the boss

The domestic version tastes a bit more natural, whereas the export version feels like it has preservatives added to it, a bit artificial if you get my meaning. You'd not notice it unless you have drunk both versions though. Give it a shot if you manage to come by one.
For an Indian whiskey, John Paul is not popular in India. Just in the UK And I recommend sample/small tasters before you buy the whole bottle.
If you ever travel to India, don't ever go to major cities. In other countries the major cities are a tourist attraction in themselves (NY, LA, Paris, London, Amsterdam etc), but in India the major cities are just crap. They are not that clean, over crowded and not much to see innit.
I'd recommend Leh/Ladakh in Kashmir (near Kashmir but quite safe). You'd have to fly to Delhi (spend a day or two max for experience) and head out here. The jeep safari is just mind blowing.
India doesn't have a good reputation as a tourist destination, but show your wife Leh/ladakh and she'll be more willing.

Weird name for the beer. An American/Belgian style IPA with an Irish name.
Hugh Malone
Hugh Malone is a blend of both Belgian and U.S. brewing traditions. This limited release Tribute Series beer combines the intense characteristics of American aroma hop varieties with the delicate esters of a Belgian-style yeast. It is brewed with a blend of Pilsner Malt and Raw Wheat and fermented with the Allagash house yeast strain. Each year, the brewers work together to choose specific hop varieties, in order to impart the right balance of citrus, fruit, pine and spicy notes. This years, we add a portion of hops to the sweet wort in the kettle, a technique known as “first wort hopping.” As the boil begins a generous amount of Chinook and Warrior hops are added for bittering, followed by aroma hops (Centennial, Cascade and Ahtanum) in the whirlpool. After fermentation, the finished beer is dry-hopped prior to packaging with Cascade, Centennial, Galaxy and Azacca hops.
With our Tribute Series beers, we honor and give back to organizations in our home state that make a positive impact in our greater neighborhood. Allagash will donate $1 from every 4-pack of Hugh Malone Ale to community gardens and others supporting sustainable agriculture.

Package Size: 12oz, Draft
ABV: 7.3%
Grains: Pilsner Malt and Raw Wheat
Hops: Chinook and Warrior hops (bittering), Centennial, Cascade and Ahtanum (aroma), Cascade, Centennial, Galaxy and Azacca hops (dry hopped)
It's surprisingly well blended. No strong taste comes to the fore. Smooth and well balanced. For me personally I like beers with around 7% abv. Anything less will be what you drink in a business socializer, and more might get you hammered fast. This one I can enjoy for a quiet night in the pub.
Hmmmmmm, that looks interesting and I found pretty good reviews on the web as well. Never heard of it before.
But I'd especially love to hear how you guys pronounce Tröegs with "O-Umlaut"
