I save my money for real farangland craft beers. There's plenty of craft beer around. This isn't 1999. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

llso Posted December 26, 2017 Share Posted December 26, 2017 I remember when I first came to Thailand Chang had quite a kick to it. The quality control was not that great and sometimes you'd get a very potent batch 10% ABV. So much for the "Changover" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

duanebigsby Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I don't understand people equating alcohol content with quality. Less alcohol doesn't mean less quality. Many world class beers are under 5%. I find Chang more drinkable at the lower strength. 6.4% never suited the pilsner style. People often talk about how 'strong" Guinness is, well it's 4.3% only. I've home brewed for years and alcohol content is meant to be style specific. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Belgium is lagging behind when it comes to "craft beers". Sad to say. Of course we still have about 400 different "old style" beers, each with their own style glass. And yes, unfortunately, we have Stella and Jupiler as our best selling beers, I believe they are now owned by a Brazilian (American?) company. Jupiler was actually quite drinkable before the marketing boys destroyed it (it is now not too sweet, not too sour, not too bitter, in 1 word: tasteless and therefore ideal for the tasteless masses). And to add insult to injury, one of our better kriek beers - Mort Subite - will from now on be marketed worldwide by Heineken. Heineken selling beer??? What has this world come to???

Chimay Bleu - my favourite beer. I rather drink 1 bottle of 9% than 2 bottles of 4,5%, for the bite and for the taste. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hamuraii Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 Was kinda shocked, saw Erdinger Dunkel on sale for 150 I think, its excellent value for a very special beer. plus you can just drink it warm as the quality is there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm drinking one right now lol Also worth watching out for is Franciskaner and weisensteipher and maiselweiss (spellings probably wrong) They're starting to become popular in some bkk supermarkets Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
