Overseas Beer

We have enjoyed beer in a variety of countries. We enjoy walking around an area and stopping for a beer to people watch. Brahva Beer in GuatemalaWe will then continue exploring the local area and once tired, stop for another beer. With the heat, (we go to warm countries) we usually are not very hungry and often eat appetizers during the day and drink lots of water…………and beer. We always take a picture of the beer and food where we are for almost every meal. There are certainly more beers in each of these countries, but we enjoy ordering the local beers and drinking them at the local places.
