Public service announcement: OBOLON beer is also from Ukraine
It is available in most āSimple Martā (ē¾å»ē¤¾, āBeauty Cheapā) shops in Taiwan. If I remember correctly itās 125NT$ for 3x 0.5l cans. Today I didnāt see it in one store I checkedā¦
My tasting notes from a while ago:
Obolon Extra: Black can, 6.8% sweet, strong
Obolon Svitle (pale lager): Green can, 4.5% simple lager
Obolon Premium: Gold can, 5%, boring lager

Mmm fresh grass

A great place, I like how they display the beer. More a store than a restaurant though.

I got one before the war because of the price, good value for the price! Will get some now when in the shop, Simple mart has always an odd (but often good and some not so) mix of beers.
I love IPAs. The grassier the better haha. I do hate how hipsters have tried to latch on to IPAs as part of their identity, but I try to ignore that nonsense and just drink what I enjoy drinking.

Yeah, not a fan of most stouts personally. Though I like some chocolate stouts.

Never order a draft beer within the first few moments of establishment opening.
Watch for others to have a couple drafts before you pick one.
Every time I remember, it doesnāt matter and every time I forget, it does matter.

Still too expensive.

Taiwan is its second largest export market after the U.S.? Wow. Of course, itās in every convenience store.
Wonder if theyāre gonna revamp the brewery to only their labels.
I donāt mind Long Chuan sometimes. Kind of reminds me of Taiwan Beer, old-style.
Iāve been to that brewery, too.
