Looking At Local Liquor In Uzbekistan

You can buy alcohol in Uzbekistan. Sure, it may be a Muslim country. Alcohol isn't forbidden and there are liquor stores around. The fancy western brands may cost you a month's rent. Are there local alternatives. Absolutely!

Vodka is popular. So are macho tropes. Take a swig, feel like a tiger or a bear. That's the Alpha Spirit.

Ahh, about those western brands. If you can't beat them, copy them. And at a cheaper price. Some local Budweiser and Heineken? Better gulp that vodka first to lessen the taste.

Tamerlain cognac, named after the most famous ancient hero of Uzbekistan. Where is our George Washington digestif?

Getting hard core, hard liquor in a can. Or barrel. Tough stuff.

Imitation getting more weird, beer looking a little too similar to the Domino Sugar label.

Back to Vodka, channeling Grey Goose and Ketel One.

Ahh, some truly local quaff, jumbo size. The can is for scale. It's about 12oz. The plastic, he-man jugs are basically mini kegs. Drink up!
