    Have you tried doing a google search with this beer? My wife and I were in Tibet a couple months ago and had the pleasure of drinking some Lhasa beer (which was probably one of the less memorable aspects of our trip). If memory serves, I think they have ties to a large distributor in China, and in turn I thought I read or heard had ties to InBev-AB. Don't quote me on that, but that's what I recall.

    So it's possible you might be able to contact the distributor to see if they have any thoughts about how you might be able to obtain a can or bottle of this beer (I believe it comes in both now). Good luck.

    According to Wikipedia and this 10-year-old article, Lhasa Beer was receiving investment for international marketing from Carlsberg and was being marketed in the U.S.--not sure where else it currently might have international availability. I never saw it for sale any place I went in China during my time living there, though I never visited Tibet Autonomous Region--beer brands there are mainly just sold regionally except for a few nationally-marketed brands like Tsingtao and Snow.
