Can you buy Beer Laos Dark in cans?

[scubascuba3]

If so where?

[OneMoreFarang]

And why?

Bottles are fine. Or not?

I don't know if this will be coming to Thailand but in Laos the Dark has been toned down to 5% alcohol.  And the taste has changed much for the worse.

Now that would be sad news, so little choice now for beer over 5%

I prefer cans and drink from a wine glass anyway

It's not an old ad, its on the current website. All the alcohol products are shown like that in the online site due to advertising rules I believe - and you can't buy alcohol online.

 

I haven't bought them, and I only use Tops online. But, if you're passing, it might be worth taking a look.

Cheers = 6%, Tapper = 6.5%. Then there's the Belgian stuff.

I buy both lager and dark in cans all the time at Tops Central Silom and Tops Central Chidlom.

Tops, buy it all the time, small cans only though

[Baht Simpson]

Not local but available at Tops, I was pleasantly surprised by Kristoffel Blonde. 6% and a bit cheaper than most Belgian brews here at 95b for 330 ml.

Include Nite Hunter IPA in that list.  6.8%

Very smooth taste .

Along with Beer Lao Dark in cans - available in Tops.

I buy cans - more ecologically friendly.
