Chuckler Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Note that I'm talking about Beerlao, the import beer from Laos that is like heaven in a bottle. NOT Leo Beer, the Thai dog piss with a Lion on the label. Of my two favourite places in Chiang Mai, Tusker's and The Duke's, only Tusker's sells beerlao. The Duke's has San Mig Lite, which I'm moderately partial to, but I enjoy the beer more at Tusker's and the food more at Duke's. So I have some friends coming next month and need to get a few alternatives together that also sell the magical brew. Anyone got anything to report? I of course tried searching, but the threads are all so old that it's not really relevant anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rrose070 Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 My Hubster will be keenly following this thread (shameless bump) CM Saloon has it also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

worldfun Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 it's about it being cheaper than every other beer in LOS LOL!!! actually the taste is quite nice & 'unusual' & it being not 'officially' available in LOS (official import right will be coming soon though) adds to that I guess? on thai beer leo that beer is actually these day quite smooth as well & one of the better choices of the common pool of hei9neken, tiger, san miguel, singha & chang! cheers!

Sansai Sam Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 There is a bar opposite the U Hotel on the walking street that sells it but I can't remember the name of it. If your up at the golden triangle you can take a long boat down the river into that little island owned by Laos and buy cases for about 600 baht. Cheers!

wimpy Posted February 13, 2009 Share Posted February 13, 2009 Please tell me where it is sold cheaper than Thai beer?? Rimping market sells it for quite a bit more than Thai beer. The Soppong River Inn sell it for more too. They buy it in Pai, by the way. it's about it being cheaper than every other beer in LOS LOL!!!actually the taste is quite nice & 'unusual' & it being not 'officially' available in LOS (official import right will be coming soon though) adds to that I guess? on thai beer leo that beer is actually these day quite smooth as well & one of the better choices of the common pool of hei9neken, tiger, san miguel, singha & chang! cheers!

ASHTONITE Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 DUDE... you can buy it any an 7 - 11 :-) Every supermarket... most Farang restaurants wont carry it because it is not a great beer :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beerlao is not in 7-11, and it is a very nice beer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tigerbeer Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 Dudes, if you can't get Beer Lao in your favorite bar, Go for the Tiger!. If they don't stock Tigerbeer, then its not worth being in their bar in the first place. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
daoyai Posted February 14, 2009 Share Posted February 14, 2009 gnarley topic broh .... actually its the clean aftertaste. When in Lao, I don't get tired of the taste, really like the dark. Here in Th. I constantly switch brands looking for the most palatable. Ironic the "commies" make better beer than the "capitalists" in S.E. Asia.

brennanstimpy Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 There is a half italian half mexican joint on Loi Kroh, I cant remember the name, has both kinds lager and dark. The dark is pretty heavenly. It is <deleted> 90 baht a bottle at rimping, dam_n shame. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MisterBean Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 (edited) So I went into my local 7-11 and I said dude where is the beer Lao and he said dude we don't have beer Lao and I said like dude I was told you had beer Lao and he said like dude we don't have beer Lao. So can you dudes tell me which 7-11 have beer Lao cause the dude at my 7-11 says they don't have beer Lao. I have never seen it at Number 1 bar but they do have it at the Drunken Flower for 60baht a bottle. Edited February 15, 2009 by MisterBean Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rinrada Posted February 15, 2009 Share Posted February 15, 2009 Had one in the Old Bell about a year ago.....Ok but nothing to shout about...back to Henie... ... The Pub itself (OB)however was fine with a friendly and easy going Landlord. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ricardo Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 official import right will be coming soon though We've been hearing this rumour for a few years now, so far the launch keeps getting put-back, a cynic might suppose that large brown-envelopes are handed-over to ensure that Beer Lao never officially reaches the parts of Thailand, which other locally-brewed beers already reach !

hill16 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 I know a place that sells both light (40-45baht) and dark (60baht) but I'm not telling you. I'll give you a clue though. It's in the city centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WinnieTheKhwai Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 Please tell me where it is sold cheaper than Thai beer?? In Laos. At Thai premium prices I don't think it's worth the risk of getting a bottle from a bad batch. Their QC really isn't up to scratch.

hill16 Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 We could have a pub crawl today masquerading as a treasure hunt around CM with the ultimate goal of finding the cheapest Beer Lao.

Sao Jiang Mai Posted February 16, 2009 Share Posted February 16, 2009 UN Irish Pub on Ratwitthi sells Beer Lao. As does the Drunken Flower. Lovely beer...the only one I still drink once in a while when I am feeling indulgent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MisterBean Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Looks like Riverside bar has it as well. I say looks since by the time I saw the sign on the wall I was a little drunk, well maybe a big drunk either way, I never asked about it. From the looks of it the OP has found a huge supply as they have not been back since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
