Whats your easiest missing country

Yeah it’s annoying my blue Greenland is now a white Greenland. My easiest three are:

Lebanon
Guatemala
Namibia

I’m pretty confident I can tick off the first at some point on my travels this year!

I remember having one in the Lebanese restaurant at Gatwick Airport’s North terminal…

I usually don’t seek out new countries, but try to immerse myself while traveling, snubbing imported beer for locals.

#197 - New Zealand. Impossible around here.
#196 - Brazil. Also impossible.
#195 - Russia. As russian craft is showing up at festivals around here, this might change soon.

Most likely next new country? Argentina (175), as there’s a Chivito restaurant with Quillmes bottles in town.

Easiest not had:
:bahamas:Bahamas 141
:us_virgin_islands: US Virgins 135
:cambodia:Cambodia 130

:caribbean_netherlands Bonaire 34

Israel, Chile and Guatemala are quite difficult to find in the Netherlands

Ok thanks for the heads up. I know some Lebanese restaurants have some but there arent too many about. In fact, there are zero Middle Eastern restaurants where i live!

Latvia
Cuba
Indonesia

Latvia has been my easiest missing for ages can’t seem to nab it. I had a Cuban cigar this weekend but no one thinks to bring back beer for me. I used to go to an Indonesian restaurant in NYC but they didn’t stock local beer.

Still Whales.

Still haven’t rated Guinness, so still Ireland.

I’m actually in Europe over the summer, and timing it such that I can a hit a festival. Just checking the brewer listing, and that means I should get Ireland and Poland! That would leave me with Brazil as my easiest which is less embarrassing.

Shit, Mexico!! rofl

Lolololol!

Slovenia, Romania, and Bosnia and Herzegovina are my easiest. I will always regret not getting that 15% abv Romanian malt liquor!

Did it, the Malt Liquor, come in a paper bag?

So I was missing all 3 of those until this weekend and was in St Louis; which has the largest population of Bosnians outside of there. Always one to try new ethnic foods and hopeful for a Bosnia tick I found a restaurant which although had no Bosnia beer did have Slovenia and Romanian beers. End of story.
