Moonrakers Posted January 28, 2009 Author Share Posted January 28, 2009 There's a bar on Cowboy that sells beer Lao, I forget the name of the bar though, Should I happen to stumble in there one night I'll ask where they get it from. Beer Laos is good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
onnut Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 heineken, tiger and cheers are the same beers all brewed in thailand by heineken. same ingredients, the only difference is Heineken is brewed for 28 days, tiger is brewed for 14 days and cheers is brewed for 7 days. I think they are all crap and normally go for Guinness, Kilkenny or John Smiths, that way I dont have a hangover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soundman Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The only thing Cheer's and beer have in common is that they come both come to the consumer in bottles. Leo! The only decent beer in Thailand apart from imports. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only decent beer in Thailand apart from imports. Agree 100%. Shame that Leo is not available in most of the Bangkok or tourist area bars / eating establishments. I wonder why that is?

JetsetBkk Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 I kind of like Archa.Maybe because in my wife's home village there are only two beers aviable, cheers and archa. Ah! Now we know why your chose "PoorSucker" as your nick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Super Hans Posted January 28, 2009 Share Posted January 28, 2009 The ultimate 'Tramp Juice' is Siam Sato priced at 24 Baht a big bottle. When you start on that stuff, it's time to brush-up your will and select a cremation Wat. What IS Siam Sato? It's not beer, that's for sure - more like a fortified wine, I think. Bloody strong. I remember a taxi driver recommending it to me whilst in a 7/11 in the early hours - he'd clearly had a few already, then asked me if I wanted a ride anywhere when I left the shop. I politely declined. I actually, genuinely, like Archa's! It must be ice cold though, and the bottles are better than the cans. It's 5.6%, so it's NOT weak. Singha's the only 'proper' bog standard beer IMO. Dark BeerLao's very good, but entirely unavailable in shops; whatever anyone says. You can buy crates of it directly from the brewery, but they don't have a distribution deal with supermarkets as far as I know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dennis3506 Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 I went to a student bar when I was in Chiang Mai recently and all the Thai kids were drinking it like there was no tomorrow, but I guess that was because it was the cheapest beer available. No, they think they are drinking Falang beer. They hear falang say "cheers" before drinking. I also think there was a promotion on for Cheers, two for one deal. Never did try it though, and by the sound of it, didn't miss much. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

h90 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I met one guy who sells the chemicals for beer production and he told all the productions are not fully under control every patch is somehow different.

johnsurin Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 It seems Leo is very popular. So does anyone know why you can rarely get it/or is not popular in the tourist areas or even Bangkok, Sukhumvit area? John..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mrtoad Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 I prefer Leo out of the Thai beers. Cheers is pretty awful, and I don't like Singha. Chang draught and light are drinkable. Federbrau is possibly one of the worst I've tried, they must have spent a long time coming up with a beer that could taste that bad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jimjim1968 Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 Ya. the Guinness is 50b for a small can, but that's not bad when you can buy say, 6 for 300b or 8 for 400b as I do. There is no widget and yes, it is pretty strong, but a lovely earthy drunk that Guinness gives and no hang! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry if this is a daft question, but how exactly do you go about buying crates of Beer Lao directly from the brewery? Is it brewed in Thailand? Can you get it shipped here from the brewery in Laos? Either way I'd love to lay in a stock. If the ASEAN free trade agreement is ever implemented Beer Lao will bury the Thai beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the guy was spot on, 'It tastes foul and at 5.6% it is not even attractive to alcoholics.' This bit just about summed it up for me:- "The beer was officially launched on 29 September 2005 and is allegedly brewed with premium hops, malt and yeast from Europe and the US to create a full flavour and smooth taste. The absurd notion that this is made from anything but the piss of an unattractive colony of lepers should not be even briefly entertained."

Yorkie Posted February 3, 2009 Share Posted February 3, 2009 There isn't a decent "beer" brewed in Thailand. Period! Try drinking any of them at room temperature and you will then be able to describe the "taste". Virtually freezing them kills the "taste" and makes them at least drinkable (except Cheers). As I have to drink the stuff on my measily (and reducing daily) UK pension, I go for the cheapest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
farangconnection Posted August 7, 2009 Share Posted August 7, 2009 (edited) I only dwink Guinness down in Hat Yai at 50b a can (was 45b until last week).Singha, I can stomach but feel poo the next day. Chang (wifebeater) not drunk in years and serious hang. Cheers - I would rather dwink poo. Leo - like something you put in your lawnmower. Archa - nah. They have Guinness in Hat Yai cos the Malay men dwink it when they party on the weekend. Sorry, but Guinness at 50 baht a can, I don't believe you!! Our Guinness & Murpheys are both 230 a can. Maybe he's talking about Malaysian can Guinness, which is like the bottled stuff back home. Edited August 7, 2009 by farangconnection Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
