Hello all beer lovers in Isaan!

Last year when I was in Laos I tried the Beer Lao and thought it was a very good beer. Later this year I will move to Isaan (Kalasin) and now I wonder if I can find it somewhere there? I have not seen it in any shops in Kalasin, but maybe in Mukdahan or Nakhon Phanom?

If all else fails, you could just rent a pickup truck, drive to Vientianne, buy a couple of dozen cases of Beer Lao, bring them back to Kolasin, and have enough beer to drink for a month or two.

You'll have to drive to Vientiane,as I do,for supply!

i argree not much you can say/ when your at home with 4x gold

i argree not much you can say/ when your at home with 4x gold

Can you translate that into English?

Why cannot you just contact one of the suppliers in a major city ? failing that, find a bar that sells it and ask them where they get it from. Perhaps Makro can order it ?

The only place I've seen it sold is at the Kiwi Cafe in Khon Kaen: http://www.kiwicafeshop.com/

There's a Google Maps entry for the location: LINK

Thank you guys for your suggestions. I will check with the Kiwi Cafe and maybe Makro when I visit Khon Kaen

yourshoutmate --- By his name is Australian. Almost certainly from Queensland. Some wags suggest that it is called this as Queenslanders cannot spell beer !!

More XXXX Gold is consumed in Australia than any other beer, except VB, and three out of every five mid-strength beers bought nationwide carry its distinctive logo.

I don't bother going all the way into Vientiane. I get it on the Lao side of the border.

i bought a few cases myself of him,great beer,specially the dark one

Hi Issanben.

I recently crossed the bridge from Mukdahan to visit the newly opened (not complete) casino in Savannakhet.  They have Beer Lao on tap.  About the only place up here I know with draft beer.  Was bloody lovely.  If playing the tables it is also free.  

cheers

Beer Lao delays export plans

Vientiane, Laos - Lao Brewery Co's plans to flood Thailand with its popular Beer Lao have been put on hold until 2011.

Lao Brewery, one of little Laos' biggest companies, has invested 25 million dollars in an expansion project in southern Laos aimed at exploiting the export market, specifically neighbouring Thailand, under the Asean Free Trade Agreement, for the 10-country Association of South-East Asian Nations.

But the government of Laos and Thailand recently decided that beer was too sensitive a product to be tariff-free in their respective markets.

"Both governments decided to keep the tariffs on beer until 2011," said Sounthone Phommachak, senior deputy managing director of the Lao Brewery Co. "Each country is still trying to protect their own beer market."
