Asahi and Kirin are o.k. Can't beat Fullers ESB or their Porter. Lots of good beers and plenty of rough ones about. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rest aren't worth the 50 baht, maybe Snowy 55 baht/490ml, but won't buy a slab of, since took so long for me to finish the last one. None in the house, not worth a special trip to 7-11, and most restaurants don't sell. So much for even bothering to have another. The blissful memory of a Kopper in frosted mug is fading fast.

I would have agreed with you about American beers a couple of decades ago, but there are countless small producers of craft beer now. How widely they are available, I have no idea. But some of Europe has the best beers - Czech, German, Belgian. I haven't sampled Serbian. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd even suggest it is up to European standard. When I discovered that I had to have another due to the shock. They do a mango one too that I bought by mistake, and even that was half decent although, of course, rather sweet. My preferred Thai beer is Tapper at 6%. Leo 8 comes in at number two.

BenStark Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Just the other day I saw a new beer available at 7/11 with 10.5% alcohol content. I forgot the name, but off white coloured can. Price was something like 130 baht, I'm sure this will soon be declared the best tasting beer in town by the AN alcies , at least those that still have a few baht left to their name Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

THANKS Yank mass produced are almost as bad as TH mass produced beers. Sam Adams was OK. Pennsylvania Pilsner, still the best I've ever drank. Had a couple good German beers here, but really are silly priced. Chit Beer on Ko Kret, allows you to sample more than a few crafts, but none really doing it for me, or a steady supply available locally at reasonable prices. Really enjoyed the Porters & Stouts (lite/not Guinness) that were available at the pubs in Philly, PA, USA during my 'happy hour' days. Kind of spoiled me from mass produced crap available there & here. Beer Laos Dark still a winner here, 68 baht for small bottle now. Not too bad a price. Again, a box takes me too long to drink.

proton Posted October 18, 2023 Share Posted October 18, 2023 Leo had 3 good ones last year, cant post pics of them of course, yellow submarine, colombus and the third i forget, all really good in small special bottles. Bit too expensive so they were not around for long, they can do it but most Thais are not really interested in good beer if it coast a bit more. Cheap weak muck is most popular, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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! Craft beer very big in Northeast US Thai Wizard beer is good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
