Let’s be honest: sometimes all it takes is one sip of the right beer to send you hurtling back to sunnier times, toes in the sand, map lost somewhere in a rucksack. Our Holiday Beers collection isn’t just a carefully chosen lineup of global brews - it’s a liquid time machine. Think of it as travel without the queues, sunburn, or suspiciously priced airport sandwiches.

We’ve rounded up some of the world’s most iconic beers from popular holiday destinations. Each bottle or can is like a tiny postcard for your palate - no dodgy handwriting or mysterious stains included. So grab a glass, close your eyes (maybe not while pouring), and let’s take a whistle-stop tour around the beer-loving world. Cheers to exploring the globe, one sip at a time.

Cyprus: KEO Lager

You’re on the beach. It’s 30 degrees. You’ve just clambered off a jet ski that you definitely weren’t licensed to operate. What do you reach for? KEO.

This golden Cypriot lager is sunshine in a bottle. Brewed with top-tier hops and matured the traditional way, it’s crisp, clean, and exactly what your holiday brain associates with lazy lunches and evening taverna hopping. Bonus points if you’re sipping it with a side of halloumi and ocean breeze.

Spain: Mahou Cinco Estrellas

Ah, Spain. Land of siestas, fiestas, and the kind of lager that goes down far too easily in a shady plaza. Mahou Cinco Estrellas has been keeping Spaniards refreshed since the ’60s - and for good reason.

Golden, slightly malty, and as smooth as a flamenco dancer’s footwork, Mahou is a quintessential Spanish lager that brings back memories of Madrid bar crawls and tapas the size of your head. Drink it cold, imagine you’re in Barcelona, and try not to shout “Salud!” too loudly in your garden.

USA: Miller Genuine Draft

Let’s take a pit stop stateside. Whether you’re picturing rooftop bars in New York or lakeside BBQs in the Midwest, Miller Genuine Draft has long been the laid-back lager of choice.

Smooth, refreshing, and undeniably American, it’s the beer equivalent of a classic rock anthem playing from a convertible. Light, easy-drinking, and no fuss - just like the best kind of American holiday. Bonus: no passport needed, just a bottle opener.

Italy: Peroni Red

Italian holidays are about the little things: late-night gelato, chaotic Vespas, and effortlessly stylish locals who look like they walked off a Vogue shoot - even while eating a calzone. Peroni Red is the Italian lager that doesn’t usually make it out of Italy, which makes it feel like a bit of a hidden gem.

It’s cleaner and crisper than its flashier sibling (Peroni Nastro Azzurro), with a dry finish that pairs beautifully with pizza, pasta, or any other carb you justified by “doing loads of walking today.”

Czech Republic: Pravha

A trip to Prague usually involves cobbled streets, hearty stews, and quite possibly a brewery tour you don’t totally remember. Enter Pravha.

This Czech pilsner takes all the bold, hoppy flavour you’d expect from a Czech beer and softens it with a lighter, more sessionable feel. It’s the best of both worlds — big taste, low commitment - like the city break that didn’t require a week off work or a detailed itinerary. Pour one, sit back, and pretend you’re admiring the Astronomical Clock while someone hands you a fresh pretzel.

Japan: Sapporo

Cue the sound of a Shinkansen speeding past Mount Fuji. Sapporo is the pride of Japanese brewing, offering a refined, malty flavour and an impossibly crisp finish that feels more like a precision-engineered refreshment experience than a casual beer.

This is the beer for sushi nights, summer heat, and reminiscing about bullet train rides and vending machines that sell everything. Drink it chilled and with purpose. You’re not just having a lager - you’re tasting Japan’s legendary attention to detail.

Thailand: Singha

If your ideal holiday involves tuk-tuks, night markets, and making questionable decisions in Bangkok, Singha is your golden ticket back to the Land of Smiles.

Rich, full-bodied, and brewed with 100% barley malt, Singha brings the tropical heat - balanced with a satisfying hop bitterness that cuts through sticky heat like a monsoon storm. Crack one open, put on a playlist of Thai beach bar tunes, and let the spice of a good green curry meet its match.

Holiday Beers: Why They Hit Different

There’s something magical about holiday beers. Maybe it’s the setting - a hazy afternoon overlooking the sea or a bustling foreign square - or maybe it’s the nostalgia. Whatever the reason, that first sip back home always feels like a portal. These beers don’t just taste great; they mean something.

They remind you of:

• The dodgy scooter you rented that definitely looked like it had seen better days!

• That incredible street food that cost £1 and gave you a week’s worth of memories (and maybe a day off your feet).

• Dancing until dawn and forgetting you had a flight at 9am.

• Lazy, uninterrupted moments - the kind that only happen when you’re far from home.

With our Holiday Beers collection, you can bottle up that feeling and relive it whenever you want. Each beer is a postcard, a memory, a moment. And whether you’re planning your next escape or just escaping from a grey Tuesday afternoon, there’s a world of flavour waiting.
