What is your favorite beer?

beer lao or any Belgian beer that is not INBEV

gdk

What is wrong with Inbev? Are you mad because they want to take over Bud?

Inbev has some very good beers

[Zappadappa]

Little Creatures Pale Ale

San Miguel light or beer Loa for me, however I would love to get my hands on some good Aussie beer!

That is one of the biggest contradiction in terms I've ever seen. I've lost count of the number of arguments I've had with Ozzie's who think they make "beer". They don't. One chap even told me couldn't ever live abroad as nowhere serves VB. That's VB!

That's an over-generalizing and assumes that Fosters and VB represent the best of Aussie Beer. Of the Aussie beers available in Thailand, you might want to try Coopers. They have several different types of beers and while none of them are superlative they are at least credible attempts. Their stout is probably the best of their offerings. Of course there are better beers available in Austraila than Coopers but they tend to come from small breweries that don't have the resources to export to other parts of Austrailia let alone to other countries.

Pffffffff... You call that stuff beer?

A good beer is a cold Colorado microbrew. I am absolutely positive that Colorado has better beers in a 100 mile radius than there are in the rest of the world!

Try a 'Fat Tire' some day and you'll see what I'm talking about.....

Yeah my friend in the states rubs my nose in it all the time when we talk on skype. There are many microbrews in the States that are excellent beers. The last time i was there i had a shopping cart full of different micrbrews 1 bottle of each to try them all out..

I lived in eastern Pennsylvania for 5 years and gained 15 kilos on account of this.

this poll should be easy to setup. it should only include readily available beer at 7/11s, supermarkets, big box stores and mom and pop stores throughout the country. this immediately eliminates ALL imports including beer lao. no way beer lao should be in any beer poll related to thailand because you cant buy it a retail anywhere in bangkok and perhaps the country. so what does this leave?

1. heineken

2. sing

3. chang

4. tiger

5. leo

6, archa (puke)

7. thai beer

8. san migs reg and light

9. cheers

I may have missed one of the supercheap pos's like that red horse or whatever puke piss that is

aint much of a choice now is it? I get rot gut and headaches just thinking about it but there is a #1 choice hands down

that choice by far is the only drinkable beer in the country readily available and reasonably priced

HEINEKEN

A few missing from that list:

Asahi, Tsingtao, Phuket Beer, Federbrau, Kloster (unless it's now been discontinued as another poster suggested, must admit I've not seen it for a while), Singha Light, Chang Light, Chang Draught, Corona, Guinness.

Quite like Phuket Beer, but my current favourite is Federbrau from the "available in 7-11s and supermarkets" list.

[qwertz]

VB, Carlton and Jever, in that order.

The first two I can only get in Oz though.

[Moonrakers]

Guinness, John Smiths, Caffreys or Stella. Although the cost limits my taking pleasure of these delicious beverages. I am also quie partial to grolsch which I have only stumbled across once in Thailand.

Archa, IMO, is the king of the tramp juices and far exceeds other tramp juices such as Chang and Leo.

If somebody could tell me where to buy Beer Laos in Bangkok then they would be my new bestest buddy.

[thaiwalker]

#1 - Australia - Toohey's Extra Dry

#2 - New Zealand - Monteith's

#3 - Thailand - Chang

mmmmm beer

[lordsux]

I had a meeting with destiny and married the local Beer

[cobra]

Now were talking,

[Chaimai]

Was going to have a real go until I saw the OP's apology (fair play, sir).

it has to be Singha - take it bottled or draught - number one for me.

[dantilley]

If somebody could tell me where to buy Beer Laos in Bangkok then they would be my new bestest buddy.

Gullivers on Sukhumvit Soi 5, many other bars around that area too such as Soi 7 and Soi 7/1, Shadow bar in Soi Cowboy, many bars in Nana and Soi Cowboy.

But, if you mean a shop selling Beer Lao, well I've yet to find one also...

[mahtin]

Now were talking,

Slice of lemon? That takes me back...

[junki3korean]

how come there was no singha or corona?!?!?

i think there the populars brews! but i love the tooheys new or pure blondes!!!

anybody from aus feel me on this???

[anotheruser]

+1 for Beer Lao the only decent beer in Asia.

Ok guys, sorry. It's the first time I've done a poll.

I plum forgot Singha, can it be added?

Also, I wanted the choice of beer and whether draught or bottle/can to be separate.

Beer Singha added but splitting the others to either draught or bottled is more difficult. Also because beers such as Chang can be either draught or non draught and both bottled. Not that it matters because Chang either tastes bloody horrible

[sceadugenga]

Singha is at least 50% formaldehyde, I spit on Singha and anyone silly enough to drink it.

Beer Lao is a deservedly famous drop but even living 60kms from the Lao border is is not obtainable.

Until the LEO will do.

[markf061]

Its gotta be chang for me. Does anybody know why many disco-techs dont sell it, its highly frustrating having to change beers half way through the night.

[binnsy]

ISSAN Beer 4.7 % proof but its hard to find never seen it in any bars only the odd little mom&pop shops It is brewed by Khon Kaen Brewery

[Martian]

My favorite beer is the cold one in my hand.

[Thaddeus]

I drink Alzheimers Lite.

[percy2]

BURRRRP!

Cheers

[dantilley]

Numerous places around lower and middle Sukhumvit serve it. Wonder why you can't find it in shops though?

[Ajarn_Jonesy]

Guiness, Chang, Sapporo, Happoshu, Asahi, Suntory..... Depending on where you are..

Oh yeah and there is some great stuff that comes out of the Microbrewries in Japan as well!!!

What is your favorite beer?

In LOS, Tiger.

Heineken has that little bit to it, that doesn't appeal to me.
