I dont recall seeing cobra beer for sale in Goa, ive only seen it in our local Indian Restaurants.

very few bars sell Cobra.
When I asked about it at Monicas shack I was told that they had a lot of problems with the quality and lots of complaints, so now they stick to fosters , Kings and kingfisher.

We always drink Belo when in Goa - just find it much nicer. It's not a common to find as Kings or Kingfisher but has a much nicer flavour (and no after taste). The Guys at Radha Shack always have a good stock though! :) :pele

In fact last time we bought a bottle home to have with a good curry and a bit of a trip down memory lane!

My O/H prefers Belo beer. He's normally a beer drinker, doesn't really like lager!
Guinness is his favourite drink but is too mean to pay for it in Goa!! :rofl :rofl

I see alot of comments about the beer on this site particually Kingfisher and Kings. My favourite after Kingfisher was Arlem (not sure of spelling). Does anyone else know this beer.

We saw Budweiser in Newtons but it was 100 rupees for a small can.

Not sure Goa needs a beer like Budweiser that is even more tastless than the ones it already has! :( Each to his own, I guess.

Personally, I find the introduction of Western drinks and foods into Goa very regrettable. It should cherish and promote its own products and we should enjoy trying them. It's doubly insulting when the food is as wonderful as it is in Goa - sure doesn't need a Macdonalds or a Burger King and that's certainly not what I've travelled 4500 miles for!!

I agree the beer is not the best but a cold Kings or Kingfisher sure hits the spot when drunk in a shack with the sun beating down and your feet in the sand.

And that's exactly where I'll be in 24 hours......bring it on!! :fly

Budweiser is brewed under licence in India, a small bottle in a shack is 30, or should be.
