The beer that got foisted on us in Vietnam was Carling Black Label. Sometimes it was the only brand available. In steel cans to survive trans Pacific shipment, so everyone carried a churchkey.

Even the Vietnamese warned us not to drink “Ba-Muoi-Ba” (`33’) beer. Said it contained formaldihyde and if you’re still not convinced then go visit the brewery.

But.... San Miguel beer from the Philippines - that was nectar to us.

Carling!? The beer that singlehandedly thwarted 617 Squadron's Ruhr dams raid??
