A Heineken after 2 weeks with camel 🐪 beer
Egypt is wonderful
Yes, this country is a perfect 👌 place for sunlovers ☀️ like me wich comes as well with world class diving quality.
If you like old stones, woooow - there are plenty. For activity you might even go with a quad a few hour into the desert and play like a boy with a new toy in the huge sandbox.
BUT what’s about #Beer?
This is a Drama
You may know me as the #BeerSaturday guy who runs this weekly challenge. Being as well a German (Beer Lover) who is living in Belgium (Beer Heaven country) means that I enjoy some good beers. I don’t need to drink a lot as I’m more focused on the great taste and not at the alcohol.
#Beer in Egypt?
To say this based on
Nirvana’s Curt Cobain
“Taste like camel spirit”
2 weeks on Peroni
Our hotel direct at the beach comes as well with a huge pool and a water park where even I was using the water slides
BUT they had only the local Peroni beer and really nothing else.
And as I said, this beer was more tasteless as a Koelsch beer from Cologne and a guy at the poolbar told me
It taste like made from camels stuff, you know which.
Hmmm, it wasn’t as bad (bitter) but there was no head if you pour it into the glas. The taste at all was stale together with no malt or barley.
We called it „yellow water beer“
The sad but partly happy day
As every holiday has an end, we had to leave the sun and all the colorful fish at the Red Sea wich you see at my video about the wonderful Sataya reef and some other posts I did at this trip.
So, we hit the airport, got all stuff scanned, nearly forgot one bag and got checked in and even or passport got controlled.
Shops with cold beer
My wonderful wife went straight into one shop to buy me a Heineken. It seems I was telling her a bit to much about the camel beer during the last days.
My questions for her
Lovely, but this is just one beer.
did not got any responce but A bottle of water. Not where I was asking for, but a five hour flight might be good with some water.
Sadly my next request
Let‘s have a six pack
got ignored by her as well with pointing to the kids. Ok, hmmm, so, better one than none and up up into the air.
SunExpress airline
They do exact what their name said. Fly into the sun as fast as possible and nothing more. They where quite confused with their service, had none water or coffee and the „in the air heated pizza“ looks as it was produced at the same factory as our beloved „camel beer“
Luckily we had our own stuff to eat and Inkept me busy with writing funny blog posts about bad beer
That moment as the Fasten Seat belt sign went OFF
Tick Tick
ZISCH
Aaaahhhhh
a real #beer!!!
It says something with music on the cover
and believe me, my ears heard that music wich was played with a very very low volume and maybe only in my had.
At normal situations I not a big fan of Heineken beers but in this case, here at the plane - damn this was beautiful but gone in 2 Minutes.
You know what?
This evening, after landing in Cologne and a 1 hour drive, I will open the door of my fridge and will hopefully find some Belgium beers waiting for me.
It ended even better
After crossing the border, we to the next exit and got a wonderful portion of Belgian style French fries together with - you guess - a Belgium Jupiler beer.
Enjoy your day,
Have a #Beer

Ah, the struggles of a beer lover.
Awesome looking Heineken can!
Haha, you are quite focused on your beers huh? Reading this made me want one too! Well after I hit the comment button I'm off to the fridge! Happy Sunday!
Cheers mate!
I'm hoping your family appreciates the sacrifices you make. :-))
hmm, this is not the same as the Italian Peroni right?
Nope!
I did not find it at ratebeer or others so far
Yeah, I'm in Egypt right now. I haven't come across the Peroni, but there has been Heineken, Sakara, Meister, Stella (not artois, an Egyptian beer) and some god aweful stuff called Desperado that has tequilla flavouring in it. Not much for selection at all. All lagers except sakara makes a wheat beer you can occassionally come across. And a couple malt liquors that didn't look like they were worth trying. Excited to get back to a decent selection in Canada!
our lonesome hotel did not offer any other..... :-(
Have a great time in Egypt!
