Popular Post spidermike007 Posted October 16, 2023 Popular Post Share Posted October 16, 2023 No thanks. I consider beer to be one of the most boring drinks on earth. Thai beer is only rivaled by Serbian beer, and the mass produced American beers, in terms of the very low quality. Poor grade of hops, barely, and the production process seems to be entirely lacking in pride. Typical of the big monopolies. Even a large production beer, like Beer Laos blows away any Thai beer, hands down. Thailand desperately needs a vital craft beer movement, and the youth are ready to mount it. If only the dinosaurs would stop protecting their "bankers" and move out of the way. In other words, allow some progress, you mindless simpletons! 4 1 2 4 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not denigrating the Thais at all as they are capable of churning out good things. Though, as you point out, are hamstrung by a dinosaur monopoly. I will have a beer and think on it some more. ???? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Standard Thai beers are poor but there are some interesting craft beers now, Full Moon, Chatri and Chalawan for example. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Prubangboy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Beer Lao is basically a Heineken. I like Asahi, which pops up on a lot of pub happy hours. I'm only good for maybe 10 beers a year. It's for Mex food or BBQ. With Thai food, a beer is very dissonant due to the bitterness. Which is why I like Asahi. It's Asian Corona, just barely a beer.

Prubangboy Posted October 16, 2023 Share Posted October 16, 2023 Late 90's, Prime Lonely Planet-era, J-Salarymen wouldn't let you buy your own beer. Like a 3 to 1 ratio. 'Can't tell one from another, nor can from tap; which in Europe, you most def can. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently it isn't the same as what you get in The Philippines. Mind you, my records show that the one I had was 6..9ABV so maybe they changed the formula. I don't drink to get pissed.

I have drunk beer to excess since I have been 14 or 15. I am getting a bit sick of it. I have cut back markedly in the past 12 months, perhaps drinking on average less than 2 beers twice a week. In reality I drink because of my desire for English conversation after day after day of Tinglish and the endless misunderstandings. To be honest, the standard of conversation is not very high in the town's only faring bar......it's sport; followed by Thai driver; followed by sport; followed by how thick or dishonest thais are; followed by sport; followed by how lousy/stupid Thai wives/women are.... To be brutally honest the standard of conversation is driven by the standard of educmacation of the English speakers.....maybe 1 in 20 hold a degree.....the bigotry and ignorance is deplorable especially about international events reflecting the fact the only source of news for 90% of them is CNN or BBS TV news (both establishment propaganda BS). Debate is about increased volume and assertion without any evidence (much like on here). 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
