Group C
Fosters Lager (Australia): V :Cusqueña (Peru): 1-0
Fosters get the victory to go through to my beer world cup last 16. Smoother, nicer to look at and more enjoyable, than Cusqueña, which today wasn’t too bad, but alas not good enough.
Carlsberg (Denmark): V :Kronenbourg 1664 (France): 1-0
Two fairly popular beers go head to head, but on the basis of sheer taste I have to give the victory to Carlsberg. Kronenberg looked stunning, really nice head and wonderful yellowish golden colour, but there wasn’t much in flavour. Conversely Carlsberg perhaps wasn’t much of a looker, but one thing it always has is a taste. Much like the football group, Denmark go through in what was arguably not the hardest of beer groups!
Carlsberg (Denmark): V :Fosters Lager (Australia) 1-0
Some contrasts. Carlsberg looked terrible and wasn’t the best but manageable, but when I poured Fosters it looked marvelous, shining and ready to be devoured, but then there was little aroma and very little taste, what a shock. So Carlsberg it is to edge a tight enough match between two disappointing beers.
Kronenbourg 1664 (France): V :Cusqueña (Peru): 1-1
Kronenbourg looked pretty nice on the pour, lovely colour and nice head, very appetizing, wasn’t too bad to drink too, so I thought this might be a forlorn conclusion since Cusquena performed so terribly in the first tryout. But you know, I actually started to slowly enjoy the Cusquena, it was nice to sip at and by the end of the drink I was beginning to think I might have been too hasty to write it down after the first game. So with that in mind I will give the result as a score draw, 1-1!
V
Cusqueña (Peru): V : Carlsberg (Denmark) 0-1
Cusqueña was a bit tasteless, while Carlsberg was all taste, but I am not sure if it was the kind of taste I like. Still that’s better than nothing, so a narrow victory to Carlsberg.
Kronenbourg 1664 (France): V :Fosters Lager (Australia) 0-1
Was expecting on even enough game, but Fosters kind of surprised me as I enjoyed drinking it, was smoother, and very quaffable. Both lagers didn’t have a whole lot in way of tastes or flavours, so it was all done to general drinkablity and for this reason I give the victory to Fosters.

Thankfully this group has four nations where drinking beer is not something to be ashamed off. Basically got a few generic brands that are popular with the masses, rightly or wrongly, but all easily accessible. Old time favourite, Kronenbourg 1664 from France is sure to impress, the much maligned “Aussie beer” Fosters, a football regular Carlsberg, and Cusqueña, a Peruvian Beer I have never had before. So let the games begin!
Beer was first introduced into Morocco by those pesky french, and even though it is a Muslim country in which it is against the religion to consume alcohol, the nation of Morocco is not as strict about alcohol as other Islamic states. Instead, it allows the sale of alcohol to non-Muslims where you can find alcohol in the larger cities and coastal towns served usually in bars and cafes, and the very odd tourist pub.
On pour it looks ok, it has a nice golden colour with a white head that is decent sized and frothy. Some carbonation is going on. Overall it is an ok looking beer.
