It's awful.

 

 

Disagree had some a couple of days back

Better than Chang beer 🍺 😋

I'll stick with MY beer, anything over that level of beer tastes like tar to me

They had great beers, calypso, yellow submarine and galaxy, but did not last long. Thais prefer tasteless pee water it seems

 

Those were the only mass market Thai beers that I ever liked, so naturally they disappeared after a very short time  😞

either you need to go to specsavers or Chang needs to update their website.

 

 

I bought last tuesday 4 bottles 0.63l, and it was 4.8%

How's the Carabao beer, particularly the Dunkel?  Haven't tried it yet.

 

Carabao says that they are following Tawandang's standards for brewing German beer.  The Tawandang Weisen tastes similar to Hoegaarden and their IPA seemed like a more flavourful, decent alternative to the regular Thai stuff. What's your take on these ones?

The Snowy and Beerlao IPA's are decent enough. I haven't tried the Manakhon or Nite Hunter yet. 

I go with the Snowy,not bad for a IPA, I find the Beer lao to sweet ,but is or was Calsberg  ,as Calsberg built a plant in Lao a lot of years ago

@ Baht Simpson: Sorry, I have to agree with you. I checked the alc-% today in Lotus. Chang Classic is now 48% and Cold Brew 46%. On there homepage is no change. I'll have to check my local shop, maybe they still have Cold Brew with 48%  😉

How much? if i wanted an expensive beer I'd buy Belgium beer, but I'm done with them anyway, Dunkel + vodka perfect mix

OK My bad memory.

Nite Hunter is 89 Baht.

109 baht is Orion 'The Dark' - 5%

Struth, at those percentages I'd be wasted on half a can !

At 4.8% I won't bother, none are brave enough to make decent stronger beer

 

For reference - Cambodian brewed ABC "black" beer (stout) in cans is 8% and it is superb if you like such beer as I do!

So no New Chang because it is 'only' 4.8, yet you drink Dunkel at 4.9. Can you really tell the difference?

Fairly obvious just looking at it.

Obviously I meant in the ABV and effect, not the damn colour. 0.1% different

Came across this one earlier in year on trip to Halong Bay.

If 4.9% is 100%, then 4.8% is 97.959% of it. Between 4.9% and 4.8% there is actually a 2% difference.

That means you have to drink some more to get to your usual level.  😉

The ABV is the percentage of the total volume of liquid. So in a 330 ml can of 4.9 % beer there is, guess what,16.47 ml of alcohol whereas if the ale is only 4.8 there are 15.84 ml, a difference of 0.63 ml of naughty stuff. I've sometimes left more than that in the bottle.

They are calling it premium beer.

Forget the Chang crap, give this beer a go. 

 

I was cruising around the dark side on my PCX a couple of months ago, Saw these lovely ladies promoting this beer.....not bad. 👍

The one in the middle looks like Chang to me, and what does it say on the Muppet's shirt? Just asking.

Yes, that handsome Muppet is wearing a Chang shirt 🍺

The girls gave me dirty looks as I walked in the door.
