Beer....have they faked that too. by Yogi007
Hi, I've often wondered if the brand beer, ie Tiger, Heinekin, Carlsberg etc is the same quality & alcohol content of the same product back home. I know Tiger prints 5% on the label but this stuff tastes like low alcohol beer. I'm ...
Heineken and other somewhat more expensive beers are often diluted or replaced with cheaper brands in HCMC. There was an article in one of the local papers about this not too long ago that showed a circle of people whose job it was to pour real ... Read More
