That is a WHOLE 4 LITRES per week. Who is going to go to the trouble of doing that, even monthly @ 16 litres.

Who will measure it?

Is that beer widely available ?

I used to buy in Bei Otto. But they closed.

I have to admit I didn't check after that where to buy it. Maybe in Villa Market.

Not much point if limited to 200 litres a year for personal consumption.

Don't worry. It's a just another Thai law where there is no possible way to enforce that you only make 200 litres. There is also a similar law which forbids you to smoke in your own home. Thailand - hub of unenforceable laws.

So, you still need a licence to do homebrew?

 

 

Yes. But any village shack can produce unlimited 'rice wine'......????

According to the new ministerial regulations, people aged 20 years and over and juristic persons can apply for a license to make alcoholic beverages for their own consumption, not for sale or barter.

 

However, the production capacity is limited at 200 liters per year and such producers must send the samples of their alcoholic beverages to the Excise Department for quality checks.

So you must have a license and send samples to be tested... hardly worth it as it's not even a full bottle each day? [0.547ml]

It would be nice to see a good selection of smaller brewers products out there... hopefully they can take it on like they have the weed market.

Would be nice to have some good craft beer that actually tastes like beer, as apposed to the pee that's forced on us by the monopolies.

Is brewing beer at home legal? 

 

Asking for a friend. 

Ginger beer that's about all.

I would love to see the "homebrew kits" I used to buy back in the UK.

5 gallons at a time ready to drink in a very short time.

I'd be keen to know where I could buy supplies for a small home brewing op. Sold at the supermarkets back home and a lot of fun, would save me a fortune on father-in-law's daily Leo supplement bill.

There are many Brew Shops on the internet. Three I use a lot are :

This is brilliant news, for once we shall be able to buy real beer and not the rubbish fizz, the likes of Leo, Singha, Chang they have tried to force people to drink

Do you mean beer made by expert German beer makers?

That would be super fresh Leo.

They made some good beers this year with Leo Galaxy, Yellow sub and Columbus. All seem to have disappeared.

And I thought not..

Home-brewing is illegal in Thailand.

To get a beer-making licence, Thais must be able to produce 100,000 litres a year and have $400,000 in the bank, which effectively shuts out small players.

 

I believe that is the very law that is being changed
