| Gorkha Classic: Nepalese Lager, 5.5% (Gorkha Brewery) Sharply metallic. Traces of grain and hops. Semi-dry and slightly grassy. After taste is bitter with a hint of glue. 4/10 |  |
| Gorkha Strong: Nepalese Lager, 6% (Gorkha Brewery) Lightly malty with very little hops. It’s a bit muddy with a very bitter aftertaste. 3.5/10 |  |
| Khumbu Kolsch: Nepalese Kolsch, 5% (Sherpa Brewery) Very little hops. Light and dry with a faint hint of biscuit. Very one-dimensional. 5/10 |  |
| Yeti Blonde: Nepalese Lager, 5.2% (Yeti Brewey)Quite a bit of corn puts it on the sweet side, but it’s still pretty balanced. Lots of malt and quite a lot of bread. It’s quite full bodied and really good for a lager 7.5/10 |  |
| Himalayan Red: Nepalese Red Ale, 5% (Sherpa Brewery) Very malty, with some cake and pancake but still fresh tasting. Slight hint of citrus and some sharp pepper. Very balanced despite an almost treacle sweetness. 7.5/10 |  |
| Barahsinghe: Nepalese Pilsner, 5% (Yak Brewing Co) Fairly crisp, and with slightly more hops than the other lagers here. A little citrus sharpness and some bready background. 5.5/10 |  |
| Nepal Ice: Nepalese Lager, 5.5% (CG Brewery) Slightly herbal, very light with no detectable hops and not much bitterness. Slightly spicy, but a little watery. 5/10 |  |
| Tongba Beer: Nepalese Millet “Beer”, 2-5% (Home Brewed) A traditional Nepalese drink made from fermented millet. Is it really a beer? Who cares. It’s made from fermented grains and sits anywhere between 2-5% abv. The alcohol is fermented in the grain, and then hot water is added. The alcohol and flavour is released into the liquid and away you go. Once you’ve finished the liquid you top the cup up again with hot water, and keep doing so until there is no flavour or alcohol left. It’s a mild taste, but very yeasty and perhaps a bit milky. It’s quite sour and a bit sweet. It reminded me a lot of sake. 8/10 |  |
