Does anyone have a handy list of beverages not produced or affiliated with Transheimer Tush?
I am glad to not find 333 or Bia Sài Gòn on that list, or San Miguel(Phillipines) which is the favorite of those with more resources. The Beer Monster has not reached Việt Nam.
Back when I could drink beer I used to like IPA but after a week or so of a beer a day it suddenly got unpalatable so I would have to drink something else for awhile then go back to IPA.
San Miguel is a good beer. Also Singha and Chang’s from Thailand.
Chang is an excellent Thai lager. Yuengling is the best , readly available, lager.
That being said, I need to get my hands on another pack of A Slice of Hefen from La Cumbré. Very nice at more than twice the price. But worth it.
I wish Konigsbacher Pils was imported, my favorite beer ever.
Water.
I’m not much of a beer guy, but there are several small distillers in the state making bourbon, rye, and even a single malt scotch (but you can’t call it scotch).
I didn't know that. I'll have to look into them.
My hubby says to bite your tongue! He says Old Milwaukee is the best. LOL He’s been drinking it for decades and likes it. The problem is, we can’t get it around our area anymore.

And Taos Lightning Rye, named after the original which was made in Arroyo Hondo in 1820.
I also checked the list to make sure the legendary Vietnamese beer 33 was not on the list--and it's not.

Lol, He needs to get out more... :)
No... I normally drink expensive imports with a strong “Bite” but good full flavor. But the last few years they have gotten too expensive. So I searched around and tasted. Miller was the closest I could come in a cheaper beer. But I never could stand Pabst or Old Milwaukee’s. Not sure it is even beer... Tastes like paint thinner... lol :)

https://www.thekitchn.com/the-ingredients-you-need-to-brew-beer-and-where-to-get-them-the-kitchns-beer-school-2015-217249 Good link that describes the equipment you need... nothing much special required.

- Hose clamp for siphon. Cost: $1.00
- Twelve two-liter plastic pop bottles, with lids.
- Hydrometer – Cost: $8.00. A thermometer is also useful.

Years ago going through university, a bunch of us started to make our own beer. It actually worked out quite well and it got so big, competitions were held.... beer is very easy to make and I kept a log book so that I could see how one recipe compared to another. I ended up making so much that we’d have parties and all the beer drank was from batches that I had made. One big advantage for a university student, it was real cheap. I remember joking with the other guys that the cap represented about 25% of the cost.
Or you can go to a brew your own place commercial place... there are lots of advantages to doing it there and I’ve now done it several times with an outlet in my town. They at least are nicely set up for the bottle washing and the wort can brew away in a controlled environment where the smell (which isn’t all that objectionable) can be exhausted away.
My grandfather made his own beer during prohibition.

LOL, I’ll be sure to tell him that. I know what his answer will be. I am no judge because I drink Natural Light. Got started on it when I was on Weight watchers trying to lose weight and still drink some beer. I just never switched back. Now I like an ice cold mug of Corona Light when we travel but like everything else, getting too expensive.
