Efes is the beer in Turkey. Apparently the only beer. We managed to find Efes light one day, but never again. Not only is Efes the only beer in Turkey, but it seems to be in short supply everywhere...but that's another story.
It did seem to taste better poured from our own personal tower of beer.
In Greece, there was a little more of a selection. Not only Mythos and Alfa, but we were also able to partake of other European varieties like Heinekin and Amstel. It was always served at least chilled - but it's best served ice cold in a liter mug on a balcony overlooking the city.
In Barcelona, it was Estrella. Damm! To be honest, by now they all taste the same and I can't really tell the difference. I could really use a Spotted Cow.
We wouldn't have actually known what we were drinking most of the time had it not been for the labeled glasses that seem to accompany all drinks in Europe. Most of the time we just said "beer" and got liters or half liters of whatever they chose to bring us. Cheers!
When we weren't drinking beer, we were drinking Raki, the Turkish version of Ouzo. When we weren't drinking Raki, we were drinking Ouzo, the Greek version of Raki.
In Barcelona, it was Cava, a Catalan sparkling wine. YUMMY! I could drink it all day long. Move over half liter of beer, bring on the Cava!
