Alcohol Content: 4.9%
Sourced: MH Supermarkets, Nadi, Fiji

Size: 330mL
Alcohol Content: 4.6%
Sourced: The Beer Store (NZ) (thanks to Julia Nixon)

Beer: Istak Halal Beer
Brewed: Khorshid Zareewar Co, Sanandaj, Iran
Size: 320mL
Alcohol Content: 0.0%
Sourced: Naab, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia
World Beer Rating: 2/10
Notes: As far as non-alcoholic lime flavoured Iranian halal beers go, this one is quite drinkable. On the beer scale however, it’s not comparable. 2 points because it tastes of lime and not malt.

Sourced: Marakesh Restaurant, Jalan Bukit Bintang, Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia

Alcohol Content:
Sourced: Prouds, Nadi, Fiji
World Beer Rating: 10/10

Size: 750mL
Alcohol Content: 4.6%
