I've had Asahi, Tiger, Tuborg, Borsodi, Guinness, Heineken, Kronenbourg, Corona, Moretti, Mythos.

I've had plenty of Qingdao and Yanjing in China but never heard of this "SNOW" thing.

I've told a lie! This video from 2007 proves it.

I recall you travelled with Thomas to China (I guess some videos were filmed at the Forbidden Palace?) but I did not know Gerda also joined you :)

You must be thinking of this video:

("Hi, my name is Jacob. I'm omnisexual, and I hate everyone with a sexual orientation different from my own. I hate you all! But you still turn me on...")
But we can't be quite sure.

Yes, this one gave you away (in multiple aspects :))

Interesting world map: the most popular beer brand for each country. Not surprisingly, in Hungary it is the famous Borsodi. :)
http://vinepair.com/features/external/beer-world-map-3000-full-web.jpg

The ones which I've already tasted: Borsodi (HUN), Tuborg (DEN), Zlaty Bazant (SVK), Gambrinus (CZE), Lasko (SLO), Heineken (NED), Kronenbourg (FRA), Guinness (IRL), Birra Morretti (ITA),  Budweiser (made in USA, most popular in CAN), Corona (MEX), Chang (THA), Ozujsko (CRO), Kamenitza (BUL), Efes Pilsen (TUR), Jelen (SRB).

The German looks to be Oettinger, which sounds surprising.

I wonder about the favorite beers in Montenegro and Romania, because I'm sure that I've already tasted them. The Bosnian and the Albanian ones maybe also.

Update:
I've tasted since my previous post:
Mythos/GRE
Stiegl/AUT
Cruzcampo/ESP
Sagres/POR
Kingfisher/IND
Feldschlößchen/GER, most popular in Switzerland
Ringnes/NOR
Tyskie/POL
Carling/GBR
Oettinger/GER
Pripps Blå/SWE (after visiting Sweden, I managed to find out the brand name)

+1 Asahi/JPN, though I tasted only a version brewed in Italy (Japanese license)

Ah, that was a staple when I was living there. I had forgotten about it!

The UK has been swept by the "craft beer" trend, which means every pub has different beers on rotation. That's great, some are really interesting and tasty, but then they are gone and impossible to find :|

In Sweden, the 'staple' beers are rather mediocre or  bit worse. From the 'cheaper' cathegory (still expensive for Hungarian pockets), Mariestad's Dunkel was the best. Pripps Blå was below average.

On the other hand, Oppigård's craft beers were surprisingly good and very tasty. They simply (New Sweden IPA, Amarillo APA, Indian Tribute) ashamed the craft beers of traditional beer-producing countries like Slovakia, Czechia, Germany and maybe even Belgium. They are expensive (around 2.5 EUR/0.33 l) but so fvcking great!

This. And the "reduced alcohol" versions sold in common shops are even worse...

CTG

Monyó Dead Rabbit Double IPA (HUN, 9.5% alcohol, 949 HUF/0.33 l): the most expensive alcoholic pee I have ever drunk. Strange bitterness, too alcoholic taste & sour cornish backtaste. Never ever... Mark: 4/10.

I'm pretty sure that Lise would be fond of Desperados (5.9% alcohol, with tequila taste). For me, it's a sweet coctail.

Desperados: at least it's not Corona.

Faxe 10% (DEN, 10% alcohol, 1499 HUF/1 l): another shitty extra strong beer. Tastes like a cheap festival beer, tuned with toxic organic solvents and some additional alcohol. At least it kills fast. Mark: 2.5/10.

And now, ladies and gentlemen, a three-times champion of the world, Michael van Gerwen. He will demolish Dolan (or at least I hope he will).

Eichbaum Festbier (GER, 5.5% alcohol, 0.95 l beer + 1 l mug: 1799 HUF)
The name tells everything. Nothing special, a drinkable light beer without sour or strange backtaste. Not memorable either. Ideal choice after a hard workday. Mark: 6.5/10
