Around the World: Beer

written by Brenna Holeman March 17, 2015

Limerick, Ireland

It’s been a while since I’ve done one of my Around the World posts, and what better day to post about beer around the world than St. Patrick’s Day? I’ve never shied away from the fact that I love a good pint, and I make it a goal to try at least one of the local or popular beers whenever I visit a country. Since moving to my current flat in East London, my local pub (like, really local, as in I live next door to it) has become a place where I go to unwind, a place I know I’m bound to make friends and experience some of the colour and character of this crazy city. It’s not just this pub that has defined my time in London, though; I’ve shared pints with many people around the world, with both other travellers and with locals. While I understand drinking isn’t for everyone, I’ve made some of the best friends (and heard some of the best stories) of my life over a drink. So, if you’re a beer-lover like me, this one’s for you. Cheers!

I also love to try local beer while travelling, and that first photo has me seriously craving a pint of Guinness now!

That’s awesome – glad to know I’m not the only one! I’m going to my local tonight… guess what I’ll be ordering…

I always take photos of the beers I drink when I’m travelling, and it turns out to be quite many…

I remember the first taste of a local beer in Yerevan after walking the streets all day, after a night flight and had not slept in 36 hours or so. It was super hot, but the taste of that ice cold beer was pure heaven. Maybe my best memory from that trip!

It’s amazing what a cold beer can do! I have the same memory after a particularly hot day in Colombia. Thanks for your comment, Magne!

Hi Brenna! Greetings from Spain 😀 My name is Marta and I’ve been reading your blog now for a long time but you touched my heart with this beer post haha I also like trying local beers when I travel, or when I am at home and go to a restaurant from some other country I order beer from there. What about Spain, have you tried any Spanish beer?
Keep on writing, I love your posts. Best wishes from Marbella,
Marta

Brenna Holeman March 20, 2015 - 4:10 pm

Thanks for your message Marta, and for all of your support for my blog! That’s awesome that you also try the local beers… and yes I’ve definitely tried some Spanish beer in the past! I’ll be back in Spain in April so I’m sure I’ll try some more…

Thanks again!

I always wished I liked drinking beer more and now your pictures have done the trick 😉 I love when you post these around the world series, they are some of my favourites!

Brenna Holeman March 19, 2015 - 12:27 pm

Thanks Zalie! Don’t worry, I also have photos of wine and spirits from around the world… 😉 xoxo

Scarlett March 20, 2015 - 1:06 pm

I’m not a fan of beer but I always make sure I try a different one in every country and this makes me want to keep trying more! I always try local spirits when I travel – sometimes they can be nice but sometimes absolutely dire, haha…

Reply
Brenna Holeman March 20, 2015 - 4:08 pm

I agree – some spirits are just awful! I always try a little sip but there have been some that I just couldn’t stomach. Thanks for your comment, Scarlett!

About Me

Hi, I'm Brenna

My name is Brenna Holeman and I drink a lot of whisky. No, wait. That’s not how I want to start. After travelling to more than 100 countries over the past 15 years, many of them solo, I tend to write about travel a lot, but I write about other things, too: getting dumped, buying way too much jewellery, and yeah, OK, whisky (none of those things are related, I swear). You’ll find a mix of advice, opinion pieces, and stories on this blog, but either way, I hope to make you want to read more. And up next? I'm about to become a single mom to a beautiful baby boy, the biggest solo adventure I've ever been on. For more about me and what you'll find on This Battered Suitcase, click here .

INSPIRATION

Our battered suitcases were piled on the sidewalk again; we had longer ways to go. But no matter, the road is life." - Jack Kerouac

About Brenna

This Battered Suitcase is not only about the where and the how of travel, it's about the who and the why.

Originally from Canada, all I've ever wanted to do is travel. After eleven years of solo travel and over 90 countries, I'm currently living in London and fulfilling my other dream of becoming a writer. If I'm not travelling, I'm writing about it, either for my blog, my job, or my book. I firmly believe there is adventure everywhere, so long as you keep your eyes (and your mind, and your heart) open. Join me as I continue to look for these adventures. Hopefully you'll find your own, too.
