In a world a world that's full of change, it's good to know that Lucky Beer offers something consistently good natured. Although the distinctive laughing Buddha bottle is central to our brand, Lucky Beer - and the good fortune it shares - transcends all religions, cultural boundaries and beliefs.
In its simplest form, we stand for goodwill for all humanity.
"If you think that enlightenment is separate from the drinking of beer you have not yet understood" Ancient Taoist Saying.
The "Laughing Buddha" depicted on Lucky Buddha beer is actually not THE Buddha and therefore not religious but cultural. He is incorporated in Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto traditions. The term buddha means "one who is awake", connoting one who has awakened into enlightenment.

(Can, Wagamama, Southwark, London, 26 Nov 2022) Pale golden colour with frothy, white head. Malty nose with notes of bread, cereal, rice and hay. Malty taste with bread, cereal, rice, hay, corn and a slightly metallic finish with low bitterness. Medium body, with a certain malt sweetness. Hardly impressive, but fairly enjoyable.

12 oz bottle picked up at World Market. Clearly not brewed in Australia anymore, and this bottle says it was brewed at Matt Brewing, NY for Lucky Buddha. Pretty standard international green bottle lager. Skunky nose right away. Crisp front and just about flavorless. Soft paper grain, and a watered down finish. Can't have off flavors if there's no flavor at all I suppose. Plain and simple.

330ml from Tops Supermarket, Bangkok. Brewed at Cheerday brewery in China. Poured a clear yellow golden colour with a mostly lasting frothy white head. The aroma is lager yeast, strong something horrible which I can’t put my finger on. The flavour is moderate to light bitter with a crisp, yeasty, slightly watery, herbal malt, floral, light hop bitter palate. Medium to light bodied with average to soft carbonation. Pretty awful and undrinkable. I do wonder if the brewery is truly happy with this beer as it stands. Can they honestly put their hand on their heart and say this is the best they can do? It really is awful and after a few sips to rate the thing it was poured down the drain. Don’t the importers read the rating sites before they decide to import a beer? Clearly not or this beer would not have hit the shelves in Thailand.

Bottle, the US brewed version has abandoned the novelty bottle. Pours very pale gold. Floral, cereal, apricot, fairly clean. Somewhat low carb body. Fine.

Bottle from Home Bargains, Salford. Golden-blonde with an extremely thin head and a small carbonation. It slips down the palate with ease, but it's one of the most neutral and tasteless lagers I've encountered. It's nice to see they've stuck with their elaborate bottle in this race to the bottom culture as they could probably save a lot of money using standard ones.
