      2299 Kazak Tenge = £3.55, but the average salary is about £550 per month so pretty expensive by local standards I’d expect.

    2. Jeepers, gone are the days when you could only get a decent pint at the British Club on a Friday night. (probably ’94 – ’95). All the local places sold over the top fizzy beer.

    3. When you say “on tap” – you actually mean draft… really? London Pride doesn’t always travel well within the UK, never mind to the border of China lol.

      Not just London Pride but basically the full Fullers range! Fair play to ENGLISH PUB in Almaty 👏

    5. I visited Almaty in 2010ish with a mate, we were doing the Mongol rally and had just spent a week nursing our broken car through a desert. We checked in to a giant, soviet looking hotel. Huge, wide staircases that looked straight out of a movie. Each floor had a very dour looking babushka behind a desk who would give keys to rooms. Within 30 seconds of entering our room, we received a phone call asking if we wanted any girls to come to our room! Ha! Crazy city.

    6. I assume it’s mostly American and European tourists? 

      Cause Kazakhs mostly look East asian, although I admit some do look russian

      There was one in Atyrau too, back in 2009. I believe we watched some of the Ashes there!

    8. That’s wild, and awesome…

      I used to live abroad and you could buy German , Belgian, French beer etc but very rarely british.
      When friends out there tried british beer it was well received . We just seem terrible at marketing and exporting stuff we make. (Well apart from the various ‘foreign’ lagers and beers brewed in the uk under license etc)
