Was a wonderful, strong, bitter brew. Had a local nickname of "Demon Brew". ???? In 2015 ThaiBev ruined it by rebranding it as Chang Classic...the crappy swill available now, in the green bottle, and approx 5-5.5% alcohol. ???? How many remember "Cathouse", Nana Plaza. 4pm to 8pm, all the brown bottle Chang you could drink: B100 (2002-2006) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

natway09 Posted September 14, 2021 Share Posted September 14, 2021 The chicken farm in Soi 7 used to have Amarit on tap, really good. Coffee infused, pretty good, had a couple at golf Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just changed the percentage of alcohol and adjusted the recipe. Or, are you trying to say they are selling fake Chang? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also had Amarit and Kloster then, too, but I think they were both 5%. The beers of a bygone Thailand. Or the days when one could have Beer Lao delivered by the case to your rural existence. The Thai authorities quickly put a stop to that, as the ever popular beer was cutting into their monopoly profiteering. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We'll be remembering, during the heyday of Chang original - the marketing of "Chang Export". Which was along the lines of a better quality European type and a price to match. Chang Export can still be found in the usual locales, but's it's not the same brew. Which shouldn't surprise anyone. The saving grace for locally brewed Thai beer, are the astounding number of small/independent craft beers that have paved their way onto the market of the last 10-12 years. The catch, though, still exist that one can only obtain these domestic micro-brews at one's favourite pub/bar - as they're not allowed to sell their ware on the commercial market. The Thai monopoly protection racket at work...... Hope springs eternal, as of late [the last year or two], a handful of excellent locally made craft beers have been granted permission to sell their lovely elixirs in the general commercial markets.
