mmmm, a dedicated CAMRA member? Forget it there is no such thing these days as a real ale,there all have chemicals in the beer,ok yes i agree these so called cask conditioned ales dont have co2 and is drawn from a hand pump but beleive me all have chemicals,how else do you get the clarity?

I've recently been converted from a Chang drinker into a Leo drinker. Can't stand Singha.

Yep, best beer in the region has definately got to be Leo. Just about all other Thai beers & the beers made under liscense (Heineken & Asahi) are nearly undrinkable.

Cheers,

Soundman.

A couple of points, someone mentioned Kookabura as being an Indian beer, did he mean Kingfisher ?????

My favourite

Staropramen

Dont really dislike anything

[Maigo6]

I drink Leo in Thailand.

At the moment I have a nice can of Sapporo Draft One next to me here in Tokyo.

Japanese beer is really good, if you ever get the chance try,Yona real Ale

[RusT]

Like another poster I can't believe there are so many people dissing the mighty Chang, winner of Australian Industry Beer Awards 1998!!! - and they won't let you forget that either. For value price and zing it's hard to beat. For my mind Leo is a nice drop. Singha forget it..

[KireB]

Best beer in the world is Jupiler from Belgium.

Pure ingredients so no headoche, hangover or whatever.

Heineken, if sold in Holland, is also a great beer. Looks like it that the Dutchies are exporting the lower quality beers and are keeping the best for themselves.

Horrible beer is beer Chang. I always get that chemical feeling when I drink it. Wonder what''s in it?

You can get banned for using swear words - and Pripps is enough to make anyone swear!

Your forgiven, we know you Crow's supporters only drink Chardonnay so how can you discuss a real drink like beer?

[uptou]

actually beer lao or lao beer? deserves honourable mentin..surprisingly good,.....heard it was brewed in laos by belgians or something

ive been to laos 4 times,but the last time i realised i'd forgotten how good the lao beer is.i thought that maybe they had help from the germans as it seems to hold its head (foam),better than other beers in the region.

Great thread.

All time favorite is Chimay triple, followed closely by Coopers special, then Coopers ale, then anything Czech. Outside Bangkok, Leo is first choice- who would have guessed that Singh's second label was that good.

[swain]

Best Southeast Asian beer would have to be Myanmar Beer....

Worst would have to be all American beers except for Samuel Addams honey wheat ... or for that matter all Samuel Addams beers.

[ercorn]

lived in the Czech republic for a couple of years and the beer was so good I became an alcholic

Anyway the best beer I have tasted is Pilsen urguell and Radagast(czech)

The worst any beer from Australia.

American beer is neutral for me and usually better than nothing.

Tsing Tsao is like water and I have never managed to get druck from it as its a light beer.

Beer Singha is a very good drop for an Asian beer.

Bintang(Indonesia) forget it nearly as bad as Aussie beer.

just my opinion
