Is it available in Nong Khai or Udon in 7/11s or bars?

Yes, NK & UT, and maybe in some 7-11 & bars, have purchased from both.  Makro by the box, and cheapest vendor. Partial to the Dark myself, and use to be my 'go to'

Dark women plus dark beer yum

Last time (around month ago), I got some Beer Lao Dark in in some bar in Bangkok and noticed that taste is degraded, tastes watery and more bitter than before. Maybe just a bad batch, need to investigate further.

Might be old. Beer only good for 3 months

Over 2 yrs of 'situation' and no customers ... probably a few vendors holding stock they should have tossed a long time ago.  Most beers, mass produced, will last about 1 year.  I personally won't buy anything over a month or 2 old.  As it take me a month or 2, to polish off a slab of 12 / 490ml

I think Beer Lao has exp date, 1 yr after produced / fill date.

 

Kopper Craft & Snowy have only a fill date on the bottom of the cans,

or on the cardboard slab if buying 12 from Makro.

It depends on the beer. Not same, different!

I had a neighbor in Udon maybe 16 years ago who had a Lao wife and every six weeks or so would bring me back a case each of blonde and dark from his Vientiane conjugal visits. After a couple of years, I lost the taste for it but just before the Covid lock-downs, I was in Savanakhet and they had an 'IPA style' variation with a green label. It was quite decent and made for a pleasant change. I have heard that it can be had in Bangkok but probably for a silly price. It's not THAT special.

Heaps in udon but not everywhere definitely not all 7/11s . Bars is a lucky dip. If you want cases go to the bigger Thai style "bottle shops" they will sell by the case.

Udon Thani, over by Nong Wua So ... 'Cafe de Wuaso'
