in belgium fruit beer has been around for ages and is not at all a marketing strategy. many many people like it.

Just tried my first can of Tapper, as a previous stated the head didappears in 2 seconds. Anything is better than the top three, but I think I'll stick with Cheers +

Yes ricklev , a quiet town between C/Rai and the border at Maesai yet they have an amazing off licence , fridge is full of foreign beers and a couple of racks of expensive imported wines. I asked at Xmas if they had Port , she looked on her computer and said ' Can't get '  . Oh yesterday when buying the wheat beer there was a box on the shelf of  Indian Goosberry , I asked what it was and hubby said ' Indian laokao  maybe.'

Oh a bottle of Fullers London Pride is about 90B.

Could you show the location on google maps, or pm me if you want to keep the location a secret.  Need to call in there on my next border run :)

Oh Belgium, well I know that but it isn't beer to me.

Enjoy, horses for courses I suppose.

My local Family Mart replaced the red Cheers Xtra with a slightly duller red can of Cheers Strawberry Testes or some such <deleted> and I haven't been inside since. This morning I was delighted to see Tapper available in the 7/11 next door.

I agree with all other posters that say it is a fresh lighter taste and lubbly bubbly on the tongue. I am unsure about somebody saying the head disappears after 2 seconds ... Surely as an extra strong lager it is drank very fast and very cold ... or is that just me..??

[TallGuyJohninBKK]

So where does one find this Snowy Weasel beer???

[johng]

I tried Tapper and it's ok ,not as much "taste" as Cheers xtra

I also tried Cheers riceberry selection and won't be buying it again.

Snowy Wiesen is the way forward. 
Excellent Wheat beer. The best beer made in Thailand by a country mile. Bought 12x490cl cans in a pack. Cost 47 baht a can.. 

I found some at 7/11 yesterday
53 baht per can,seemed to me to have a slightly chemical taste first mouthful
but was ok towards the end....strangely the Cheers tasted "different" after the Snowy Wiesen beer.

[juice777]

Sounds like the beer for me, where did you buy it?

Me and my two friends like it a lot we have all decided it out new beer to drink.

Est. 33 is the name of one or more beer brew pubs around town in BKK that serve "craft" beers and are owned by Singha / Boonrawd. It now is also apparently the name they're selling some of their beers under at retail.

So is the Snowy Weizen a German style weizen beer or a Belgian style witbeer?

That's a good question, though I have to admit that I don't know what the difference is between those two styles of beer.

Singha seem to be confused, there’s no such thing as “Belgian Weissbier”, the Belgians make Witbier while the Germans make Weissbier both of which mean “white beer”. Weizen beer means “wheat beer”.

Just tried both Snowy Weizen & Tapper. I’ve always liked wheat beers but wasn’t prepared to pay for the expensive imports like Erdinger, so Snowy is good value & pretty tasty. I’m surprised that Singha are producing it as it’s unlikely to have mass market appeal, Thais have a sweet tooth & this will be too sour for most. 

Tapper reminds me of Chang before they diluted it & it’s brewed by the same company so maybe it’s a similar recipe? When Chang was 6.4%(?) I used to get smashed on about 8 bottles & then a friend suggested adding ice which seemed like heresy but was surprisingly pleasant. I still drink Chang with ice today out of habit but you have to drink it quickly before the ice melts & I don’t get smashed which is probably for the best.

I would drink both of these again but I prefer the Snowy due to it’s difference from the standard lagers.

99% chance of being made by the big 3... so overpriced shit anyway

It's 53 baht / 1.61usd. Not exactly pricey ?

worth a try, as it gotta be better than LEO.

dont know what they did but it aint the LEO of 2 years ago. 

 Leo tastes different depending on the brewery. Chiang mai used to get the good ones from khon kaen brewery but since a few years it's nakhon pathom ..  only drink Leo again when passing through north east Thailand ?

Starting to enjoy the Tapper and agree, definitely inspired by the long gone original Chang. Must by a case and see if it delivers the traditional Changover which the green bottled stuff is simply incapable of.

No. And with only 1.5 stars on ratebeer.com, I'll give it a miss.

That's the point. That would be a charitable grade for Tapper.  Both are low quality high alcohol brews, stuff that bums drink out of a brown paper bag. .

Beats the alternative - low quality, medium alcohol brews - on offer in the country!

I recently tried a Heineken and didn't like it. Is it the same as in its home country. I tried it years ago at a brewery (home country) and liked it. Guess my tastes have changed. I like Beer Lao. Relevant to post because Heineken made by same brewer?

Lao light or dark?

I like both but light easier to find and I do like it better.

 

Happy it now has wider distribution.
