Doing a bit of market research and need some feedback.☺️

Are Heineken, San Mig Light and Asahi local?

I want Bee Lao, preferable the dark one.

 

Thai craft beer    brewed and canned in Vietnam :cheesy:

In Bangkok I prefer Guinness, When in Isaan I useally drink Heineeken or Singha Reserve if possible, and any other tourist destination useally have a Hoegarden which taste great in the heat. Tiger is also OK.

 

Chang and Leo 😒

I do not care where the beer originated from, as long it serves is purpose 😄

 

Taste good and gives me the little buzz I need and also feel refreshed after a hot long day either at the beach or a long drive.

Im sure it will serve its purpose after a long hot day 😄

 

A bit hard to find where I travel, but for sure if Im not in a mood for a Guinness when arriving Silom or Sukhumvit, I will look for it.

On UK TV there are ads for Italian, Spanish and French beers, with small words   Brewed in UK. 

Was partial to Kopper Craft, but apparently discontinued.   Last beer I had was a Snowy.   Before I discovered those (490ml @ 55ish baht), then it was Beer Lao Dark.

 

BLD having a bit more caramel than I'd like, along with hitting 60 baht for a small, turned me off of them.   Tasty though.  Basically quit alcohol, and very rare to have one.

Interesting topic - but as above...  'Craft beer' is taking off in Thailand and the prices are getting more competitive... 

 

The Thai beer I go for is....  sold in Gourmet Market, Villa Market and a number of 7-11's in Bangkok... 

 

Fullmoon Brewworks 

 

- Summerlay Fin Fin IPA (yellow can below)  500ml about 88 baht

- Say Play Cold IPA (Blue Can below) 500ml about 85 baht

Use to have Tawandang IPA in local Lotus'sss.  It didn't sell well but I managed to get the last dozen cans before they decided to no longer stock it. 

 

Very nice hoppy taste.

Still sold in Tops here on Samui :thumbsup:

 

I understand that the big breweries have put pressure on the Thai supermarket chains to sell mainly their beers.

The headline says 'draught beer' but the questionnaire only refers to brands of beer. I hardly drink at all now. I used to drink for social reasons pretty much every day, but I got sick of men who can onto discuss tits and sports, and especially Aussies who can only talk about 'Aussie Rules', the world's most tedious game. Now I drink hardly ever. I had two beers at a family party over the weekend, but that was the first beer I had drunk for at least 3 months.....it was Leo, my favourite bottled beer, apart from Stella or Sapporo.

I've been looking for a while to find the Cheers in red can/bottle.  Not seen in my location but possibly in the city. 

 

The Cheers blue isn't as good IMHO.
