YaBa, meth, or something similar?

The Government's gotta do something about this heat ... 😎 Fix this and PM2.5 goes away too People die every day due to many causes, pneumonia, heatstroke, cancer or the #57 bus - it's not altogether avoidable, almost normal, although what does Covid has to do with heat? Vitamin D from sun exposure is a preventative, no?

It's '24 production and I decant into 1L glass bottles for storage in a cool/dark pantry. Never had a problem.

The main reason for supply shortages is Middle East troubles and shipping delays. Airfreight is expensive and not warranted for many 'luxury' food imports although some gets through to Bangkok specialty importers and retailers. The North gets little or nothing. 😞 Olive oil is in short supply anyway due to the past year of drought and disease in Euro growing regions. Prices have sky-rocketed for this 'liquid gold' and I stocked up with 5L bottles of Extra Virgin @ 2600Bt at Makro Hang Dong recently. Shortages will continue. Euro cheese imports are very slow, NZ Mainland and Anchor product in stock at Makro and Rimping PLUS you can buy JARTISAN specialty cheeses at GoWholesale or Rimping. Note: HoReCa cheese sold at Makro is garbage IMHO, buy Anchor large blocks of cheddar for most cooking purposes in preference.

Dont encourage trolls with a response old m8, ok na.

Tim Newton is a professional journalist who can write in-depth editorial without bias which unfortunately is not what social media companies want. The problem is, all us old fogies on these boards want real news not AI generated trash.

Spot on!

Water is best, no need for electrolyte drinks IMO unless you've been exercising or working extremely hard and sweating profusely.

12 weeks or less is about right for Thailand, depending on brew type, transportation and storage. Safe limit is 6 weeks for a hoppy brew, borderline for bottled Archa, Asahi or Bud.

Funny story about VB, which I never touched, 'orrible stuff. A friend bought 6 cartons of VB cans in Cairns to take on a boat trip. The stuff was well and truly off, tainted, obviously stored in a hot warehouse. Arriving back in Cairns he was unable to return for refund and rather than dump it he gave away, one case at a time, to Aborigine vagrants living in the waterfront parkland. He had to literally drop it at their feet and run as others would come chase him, expecting more.

Look up the meaning of sarcasm.

The IPA is very good.

Does it really matter what different people enjoy? The World would be a miserable place if we all married blondes and drank raspberry cordial. This thread was to enlighten, or advise BM's to take care when purchasing beer. Example in point: I've come across many who would never buy Archa, or Beer Lao again - chances are they've been put off by inadvertently drinking tainted stock. And tainted beer is NOT pleasant. When I come across it, rarely with Singha, a squeeze of lime masks the taint.

Me too.
