Himalayan Brew

Lhasa Beer is the only Tibetan beer on the world market. Brewed by the Tibet Lhasa Brewery Co. -- the highest commercial brewery in the world -- the all-malt European-style lager incorporates such indigenous ingredients as Himalayan spring water and huskless native Tibetan barley, the latter of which provides a crisp, clean taste, as well as supporting the livelihoods of farmers in the area. Additionally, according to El Cerrito, Calif.-based importer and marketer Dzambuling Imports, 10 percent of the annual profits from the sale of the beer will go to nonprofits aiding education, health care, cultural preservation and other socially responsible initiatives in the mountainous country often referred to as “the roof of the world.” A 6-pack of 12-ounce bottles retails for a suggested $8.99.
