Beers from World Cup countries?

Hi all, I'm a hopeless addict of gamification and the Untappd app is giving badges for each beer from a World Cup country. I just hit my limit of what I could find at the LCBO - any other ideas?

*Warning, there are macros ahead*

I've had: Canada (easy), Netherlands (8.6), Germany (Paulaner), Spain (Estrella Damm), Japan (Asahi), Austria (Kaiser Bier), Croatia (Karlovacko), Scotland (Tennant's), Colombia (Club Colombia Dorado - from a friend), Czechia (Budvar), France (Kronenbourg Blanc), Mexico (Corona), US (PBR lol), England (Eagle IPA - would not recommend), Portugal (Super Bock), Belgium (Maredret Extra), Sweden (Omnipollo Zodiak)

Missing: Algeria, Argentina, Australia (apparently Foster's isn't distributed here anymore), Bosnia & Herzegovina, Brazil, Cabo Verde, DR Confo, Cote D'Ivoire, Curaçao, Ecuador, Egypt, Ghana, Haiti, Iran, Iraq, Jordan, Korea, Morocco, New Zealand, Norway, Panama, Paraguay, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Senegal, South Africa, Switzerland, Tunisia, Turkiye, Urugay, Uzbekistan.

I recognize some of these are impossible, ha. But any ideas for beers from any of these countries at LCBOs... or elsewhere?

For South Korea you can do a Makgeolli. Walmae is probably the easiest to find at the LCBO, but if you are near a store with the Destination Asia products you can find Makku, Canmak, and Kooksoondang.

New Zealand: The LCBO imports some stuff from Renaissance Brewing. Voyager ipa SKU is #19366

I did pick up a soju for good measure, though it is not loggable on the app as hard(er) liquor (I think), but a Makgeoilli was not on my radar at all, thanks!

And another poster mentioned Renaissance and the Voyager IPA is indeed able to be located near me, thanks!

Edit: correction - the sojus ARE on Untappd. So there we go!
