Angkor is the most widely distributed beer in Cambodia. Clear, crisp, refreshing, not too light not too heavy it can be the perfect weapon to combat the hot and humid air of Cambodian big cities. It's price varies from roughly 45 cents to 3$ USD in a can or bottle and it can be sold as cheap as 25 cents a pint on tap. The beauty of it is that you can find some everywhere litterally, almost everyone sells some, either in a bar, convenience store, out of someone's garage, bicycle, car or rolling cooler. Be sure to dig deep in the cooler in order to get the coldest ones and don't hang around too long in one spot because the beer has a tendency to climb in temperature as you keep ordering it. They run out of cold ones fast enough. The brewerie is in Sihanouk province near the ocean side but ironically , probably because of all the tourism it is there that I found it to be the most expensive. People drink it with a straw in order to get it down faster (before it gets hot) or to avoid putting their mouths on the sometimes filthy can rims. Either way a clear golden yellow beer with the right amount of bubbles makes it my favorite as it is Cambodias favorite beer. My country, my beer is their moto.
