Jhyalincha, ke ho 11 barsa ko umer dekhi khaana thaaleko? Tuborg is available at some of the larger liquor stores, so are San Miguel and Carlsberg. The best Nepali beer I have had is Star but unfortunately its' production has been ceased for the last few years. I think Gorkha and Everest are the ones of Nepali origin that are still available (or at least that was the case two years ago).

I grew up listening to radio commercials of Golden Eagle and Iceberg. I think both of them are of Indian origin. Cheers and Leo were also of Nepali origin if I am not mistaken. I was too young back then to get a chance to try them. I remember the TV ad of Leo in which a hunter was shown enjoying Leo after shooting down a Lion. "सिंहको मुटुको रस हालेर बनाएको बियर" भनेर गफ लगाउँथे स्कुलका केटाहरु फेरि। 

Oranjboom of Dutch origin was also recently launched when I was last in Nepal two years ago. I didn't like it that much.

During the late 90's, Tiger (Singapore) and Singha (Thailand) were also briefly brewed in Nepal. Guiness pani banaauthyo jasto laagchha. Corona, imported from Mexico, also used to be available in 2004. Our waiter once had suggested "Mexico baata aaeko naya beer Corona pani chha" but I declined it as I had always been indifferent towards it.
