For the last several years, my beer of choice among the local brews in my part of the world has been this tasty IPA-style offering from the Lao Brewery. (At least, when I'm in the Lao P.D.R. Although this beer can occasionaly be found in the neighbouring countries, it's still only manufactured in relatively small quantities, and doesn't seem to have any established export trade, even within the region.)
One of my biggest frustrations as a fan of Lao IPA has been the fact that it is only available in bottles, which militates against it as an option for home consumption (glass is heavy to carry, a hassle to dispose of 'responsibly', and carries that constant threat of breakage).
But look at this! A few weeks ago, I found some Lao IPA at my local supermarket in cans. Oh, frabjous day!!!
Alas, they appear to have had only ONE CASE of them; and when I'd bought all of those, they didn't replenish their fridge again. The appearance of the long-awaited Lao IPA cans in my life was naught but a taunting phantom, a tantalising glimpose of happiness witheld. [I could craft an FPL metaphor out of this incident if I wanted to; but, for once, I shall restrain myself.]
