Nice try. Just doesn't seem to work with lager, which is what Singha, Chang etc are. Lager does have to be cold and moderately fizzy. Proper beer, no. But thanks for the suggestion.

Jump around on one leg while drinking, gives you a hoppy experience of sorts...

Guinness is pumped with nitrogen.

Good breweries create their own C02 anyway.

Problem will be softdrinks & really flat tonic I can handle with my gin 555

Fortunately for us, who live in Thailand, this is not a problem as we can not buy our beers anyway ????

 

Fortunately for us in Cambodia, this is not a problem as we CAN still buy beer, mainly in bottles and cans!!

One can Brew beer and be very fizzy. One doesn't need CO2. Brewed a good beer many times in AUS . Just have to take care not to Overdo it with the sugar when Bottling. Booooom

Guinness is pumped with a mix of nitrogen and CO2 (30/70 mix) as are all the so-called 'smooth' 'beers'. Breweries do not create their own CO2 because that is used in dispensing and brewers just supply the product. Specialist companies produce and bottle the gases used for dispensing. Distributors usually supply a number of keg beers and the gases needed to pump them.

Real ale is usually served by a hand pump which uses air to move the liquid, rather than the poisonous gas used in fizzy beers which affects the taste. Bubbling CO2 through water creates carbolic acid (H2CO3) which doesn't belong in beer.

Just like your name indicates - Surely not! ????

Is it legal to brew your own in Thailand? I mean, they sell kits on Lazada.

No, sadly it is illegal.

Presumably, you mean "Proper Ale". We are in total agreement.

Beer without fizz? 

A mans gotta do what a man's gotta do, 

There's a ready source of CO2 for recharging flat beer on you all the time.  Sure there are a few other gases as well but you don't throw the buckets of water overboard when your removing bilge water, right?  Every time you pass wind there is some CO2 in the....wind!

 

As I am not a beer drinker I'll leave it to you guys to come up with a working solution to putting the re-entry CO2 to good use.  When you find the solution you can share among yourselves....preferably!

Many things are illegal here and many laws openly flouted. 

 

I met a farang guy here making pineapple beer! 

... for how ever long that polititians are still alive - there will be CO2

I've been "timed out," had my posts removed by admins - it's refreshing to have a light, happy topic for a change.

As a renowned (amongst my friends) beer brewer in a certain dry country, you don't need co2 to put the fizz in beer, you just add a pinch of sugar before bottling and allow a week or so (depending on desperation to taste it) for secondary fermentation.

You do know that old Monty Python joke, right? Why is drinking American beer like making love in a canoe? Because it’s f******* close to water.

Australians drink their beer cold. We live in a hot climate. On the other hand, Brits need every bit of warmth they can get.

Flat beer and flat chested b\he pa that's is finished,the end is nigh.
