[Mid Life Crisis Marathon Man]

Nevertheless, with the choice of beer here in India wearing abit thin I'm very envious.

Interesting. I went to an Indian restaurant tonight where they had both Kingfisher and Maharajas. Admittedly I had a couple of Kingfishers before trying the Maharaja, but I thought it a pretty good beer. And it was the genuine article, imported from India, while the Kingfisher was made under license in New Zealand.

I thought the Maharaja lighter in colour but a little more interesting in the palate. But maybe I'd had too much rogan josh by then? Anyway, recent consumption of both beers has enlightened me considerably to the quality of Indian lagers. To be honest, I prefer them to the European equivalents they seem to have been copying. Although the Maharaja label was pretty uninspiring...
