AFTER MOVE Forward leader and candidate for prime minister Pita Limjaroenrat mentioned two brands of craft liquor at a news programme it led to these spirits produced by small-scale community-based entrepreneurs flying off the shelves, Sanook.com said Saturday (June 3).

 

A message was posted on Prachachon Beer Page (Beer People’s Page) that both brands of community liquors had sold out at their factories.

 

“Urgent! No Sangvien liquor left at the factory 5555” and “Kilo liquors also out of stock 5555.” Kilo Spirits distils small batches of handmade crafted vodka and gin while Sangvien produces rum.

I wonder if along with giving craft brewers and distillers a fair crack will Pita challenge the "luxury tax" on imported alcohol?

Good for them. About time the small guys get a chance to make some money.
