Bangkok Barry Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 I've now tried the so-called wheat beer. Not bad, not great. But let's be real here - Thailand just doesn't do beer well. Light years from the brews available in Europe, and from what I read the US too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But they have changed the recipe this year and now it is <deleted>. Only 61 Bht in Tesco for 620 ml bottle though. The original Federbrau tasted way better. It had a hoppier flavour. Now it's absolute rubbish for the money you pay. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only 61 Bht in Tesco for 620 ml bottle though.Now as you say it, I noticed some different taste but blamed it on probably too much beers that evening. Do you have any source that they changed the recipe? I think before it had generally more bodied taste and bitterness. Now it just bland and flat as all other Thai beers. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickBradford Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 I wish I could find more places that stock Beer Lao, still my favorite, either light or dark varieties. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
moontang Posted March 11, 2019 Share Posted March 11, 2019 U beer seemed to have bombed. Went to a carlsberg promo a few years ago, and that was better than the federbrau, imo. The 620 THB per case tigers are best all around for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beer Lao dark is fantastic. Unfortunately it is more expensive than the local beers, therefore people think twice before buying it. The local breweries (government) make sure that the imported beers are sold at a higher price than the local stuff. Market protection I guess.

Carlsberg is way better than Federbrau, just I don't see it much lately. And Tiger beer is way to go. For price and value it stands out from the crowd.

Bangkok Barry Posted April 6, 2019 Share Posted April 6, 2019 I see that Big C sell Tapper now, and cheaper than at 7/11. Big C also have a new wheat beer by Cheers but I wasn't able to buy it to try as it was 2.03pm. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is a little on the sweet side, and does go better with some spicy food, but so do heiny and tiger. I think Singha qualifies as a premium brand, as does Tiger..and many 711 do not sell tiger...so what then? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Malaysian Guinness at the same price would be good, but it is more like 240 per pint...and I will continue to drink fresh cold made in Thailand beers.

The only German things are the imported malt that's used, and the umlaut. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
