What's in the Local Beer?

[2009]

I bought Beer Lao from Makro last week, nice beer, and to my utter astonishment I noticed it has an INGREDIENTS LIST.

 

I was impressed. Only 4 ingredients.

 

Then, I buy Heineken and I noticed it too has an ingredients list. 3 ingredients.

 

Sitting here drinking my Heini now and feeling pretty <deleted> about all the years I drank Chang, Leo, Archa, and Singha. Must be gut-rot if they won't declare what's in it.

 

I do think Singha is the best of the bad bunch though. But most Thais I know only like Leo and most Farang I know prefer Chang. I actually think Archa is better than Chang anyway, but what do I know...

 

I do enjoy San Mig Light though. Less sugar, less calories, same alcohol. Good taste -almost like a Corona. I will need to check the ingredients.

 

Anyway, what's your opinion on all this?

 

Anyone know what is in the local beers?

Tried the new Chang Cold Brew last week. It's just OK, but still prefer Tappers @ 6.5%.

Don't really give a monkey's what's in it.

My order of preference is:

 

1. Beer Lao

2. Heineken or SanMig Light

3. Singha

4. Archa

5. Leo

6. Chang

 

Can't really decide where Tiger fits in.

Usually water about 95%, ethanol about 5%, with any slack being taken up by minor additives.

I don't know why, but I can drink Leo and Archa in comfort. Singha and Chang both give me a headache.

I've always liked Federbrau. The only beer made in Thailand that is brewed in accordance to the strict German Purity law.

I used to drink Chang then they changed it, I didn't like it so tried Archa, my go to beer these days, I always thought the majority of Thai beers were chemical beers ie no hops or anything organic, maybe someone here has the info. ????

A another thread about light  beers.

Chang is the the most popular beer and just perfect at the correct temperature for me don't like any others.

A treat is Draught Guinness for me.

I recently try out Cheers Beer brewed by the Heniken and Tiger Beer manufacturer. 

Not bad and Gòod price. 

Anyway, after 2 rounds, all beer taste the same for me ????

All drinkable, none memorable and they all give me a bad head.

After going through different beer phases, I'm now a Heinekin fan.  Leo is Ok, drank it for the longest.
