WORLD
CUP
FEVER
We like beer and we like
football, there we've
said it. so here is our
unaBASHed, tenuous at
best, World Cup tie in.
if you like SiPPiNG on a
world class iPA whilst
WATCHing the beautiful
game then buckle up for
some top beers, terrible
football puns and ALL
ROUND general Hi-JiNX.
It only happens once every four years, and let’s be honest, even if
football is not your thing, it’s hard not to get swept along in World Cup
fever – or at least show a passing interest. Watching football is a great
way to drink and share beer, and the international flavour of the World
Cup made us think ‘why not try and find a beer from every country?’
Admittedly, it was more of a challenge for some ahead of others. How
many brewers can you name from Panama? But after much hardened
research (hic) we think we have managed to curate a good list of
international beers for you to explore and enjoy during the biggest fiesta
of football there is.
We’ve profiled what we consider to be the most interesting country
from each World Cup group in some detail, then followed with some
additional beer-based knowledge on the other teams. If nothing else,
you will gain some great pub ammo to share with your mates about
the international beer scene (probably don’t share it during England’s
inevitable penalty shoot-out, though).
Get the big screen on, grab some cold ones from your country of choice
and make the 2018 World Cup one to remember for beery reasons.
