Yesterday saw some high quality competition. Denmark (Elephant) edged Netherlands (Bavaria) 4-3. Cameroon (Castel - sourced from France) played better than expected (our rare beers from Nigeria and Serbia had lowered our expectations) beat Japan (Kirin Ichiban) 4-3. Finally, Italy (Peroni) had an easy 4-2 victory over a rather tasteless Paraguay (sub Brahma from Brazil).
Our supporters often ask us "how do you choose the beers when you have a choice of more than one beer per country?". For the first Beer World Cup, it was random, we just picked what came to hand. For the Beer European Cup 2 years ago, we picked the most popular beer. This led to an interesting result - Grolsch reached the semis and we often drink it now. But having Becks representing Germany was bad, unsurprisingly they did not progress beyond the group stage.
For this World Cup, we have selected beers with confusing or interesting names - Bavaria for the Netherlands, Bohemia for Mexico and so on.
But for the next competition, we are considering having qualifying rounds so the best beer gets in. The downside is that we will have to drink even more lager...
Today is the big day - North Korea - Taedongdang makes its appearance....
