Cheap Beer, less than NT$20 per can (if you get 3). (From Spain) at Simple Mart in KHH. Simple Mart has decent budget drinks. (Not the place to buy high end brands)

Iāve had that a few times. Not bad. I think Iāve tried just about everything at Simple Mart (maybe even that āSlotsā next to the Burge). But thatās the problem with the place (for me at least), I think Iām sick of all that they have on offer there. Maybe Iāll go again around summer time as they have a couple of nice imported summer beers.
What about the pils on the left in your photo. Is that a red ribbon I see? Is it, too, cheap?

My husband and I had a good laugh over some really terrible beers from Simple Mart. We like to get out the little beer glasses and taste. We were wondering if the beers were rejects from their respective countries. If you are on Untappd, you know about the need to try new beers especially on Thursdays.

Speaking of discounts: Iām waiting for the discounted leftover gift boxes after CNY to stock up on whisky for the year.
Last year I bought half a pallet. The wife was somewhat displeased when that got delivered.

Thereās no way they can sell a beer at that price. Seriously?
Also, hereās a question for the drinkers among us: Which tipple is the most expensive in terms of alcohol per volume:
a) vodka
b) beer
c) wine
d) fortified wine
Obviously youāre all going to get it right, but it is interesting.
My wife says it was the price. Normally 79nt. Just three days ago.
And beer? Most expensive.

Bought a Hoegaarden today at å
ØčÆ (or whatever the spelling is), almost forgot how good this beer is.
Funny I never had that beer anywhere other than my home town, the first sip teleported me to my favorite pub back in 2005.
Proustās madeleine moment is very real

The beer selection at my Carrefourās blows. Just some generic German wheat beers and Bud and Asahi.

My wife tells me theyāre all gone now at the Xizhi Carrefour. I like a really light ale. Summer beers. Some years ago, this was my favorite beer:
Itās no longer my favorite, but itās this kind of a taste that I would still consider ideal. For something that is made locally, this is an example of an ideal beer for me:
So I guess I like very flavorful ales that have more a light taste. I donāt know how to better explain the taste that Iām after. And I know not everybody would agree that this is the best taste in a beer.
Edit: Having said all that, what else should I try thatās available here in Taiwan?

Good deal, got some here in Kaoshiung ! Shows how much Aussie taxes add to the cost as Taiwanās tax is so much less. Also I like the Pale Ale !

I spent some time in Kona. Itās a shame they donāt import more Kona Brewing Co beers. I really like the wailua wheat (lillikoi, passion fruit, ē¾é¦ęļ¼and the Coco brown.

Went to Carrefour to celebrate the end of the semester. The beers suck at mine, so I had to settle for passable Japanese brews like Asahi. No IPAs for me. 
But itās at least better than Heineken, I suppose.
