BugJackBaron Posted July 14, 2023 Share Posted July 14, 2023 OK, this is a bit of hopeful fishing. I was last in Thailand 7 months ago and at that time I noticed that Viper bar in Jomtien and a few others on walking street didn't have any CHEAP DRAFT BEER! What's the scoop.?Draft beer is a bar hoppers standby. :) Tell me draft beer is making a comeback! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's my experience too when I order cheap draft because the bottled beer is significantly more expensive. But I see some places that have draft at prices that seem slightly higher than bottled. These types of places seem to have premium beers on tap such as Guinness besides regular beer on tap. Perhaps they maintain their tap system so that the beer tastes good.

Chang draft is average, i prefer Tiger but not many agogos have it I don’t drink in agogos. I forgot to mention in my comment that I do drink draft streetside or those local bar setups that pop up or open in the evening and the beer is always great. Places where Thai people would go. They are on 3rd/2nd road or whatever that road is there. There’s one right outside the Riviera in Jomtein. No flat beers there. Where I avoid draft (and even suspicious of open bottles occasionally now) are the foreigner oriented bars and especially those small foreigner restaurant setups that sell English breakfasts, etc. Edited July 15, 2023 by JimTripper 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandyf Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 17 hours ago, JimTripper said: I stopped getting draft. It always tastes flat. Quite. Draft lager beer is a waste of time, particularly if sat outside, even if ok when poured tastes crxp very quickly. Years ago the Sportsman did draft John Smiths and that made a pleasant change. The first beer I ever had in Thailand was a pint of Caffrey's in an Irish bar in Bangkok, cost 280 baht but pure nectar. Unless you are into guiness decent draft is a rarity.

No decent UK beer in Thailand. Real beer comes from a cask and is served without gas. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jumbo1968 Posted July 15, 2023 Share Posted July 15, 2023 Makes me laugh when people say draught beer, it’s draught fizzy water called lager. At least when you buy bottled beer you know it hasn’t been tampered with or concern yourself when the lines were last cleaned. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roger101 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 My father worked in a brewery. Every Friday he went to the tasting room with the Brewer and had a couple of pints. He said it was the best tasting Bitter he had had for years. He moaned that it was never the same in pubs. Kept in the wrong conditions and they didn't clean the pipes often enough.

Pattaya57 Posted July 16, 2023 Share Posted July 16, 2023 I've seen Pints advertised and know what size that is but what is the normal size glass of these other draft offers? Are they half pints for 60 baht and therefore 99 baht pints are a really good deal? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
