soundman Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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.

RusT Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KireB Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

uptou Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 (edited) 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.

sbkk Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
swain Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 Best Southeast Asian beer would have to be Myanmar Beer....

ercorn Posted May 17, 2007 Share Posted May 17, 2007 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 regrds Ercorn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
