You don't know much about prices of imported beer in Thailand, do you?

I know enough.... I will stick to my Beer Lao thanks

And let all the mugs in Pattaya pay top dollar for their imported "draught" beer.

Can you clarify the 'Happy Hour' times at Tropical Bert's?

Thanks!

I think it's 4-7pm but don't hang me up on it.

Better clear this up before I get Hung. We have happy hours every Friday 4 to 7pm, we have our golfers out on a Friday (small group) and some of the Legion guys started to come in Fridays late afternoon. I thought it would be nice to drop the prices for them on local beers, Singha, Chang , Leo, San Mig Tiger and so on (between 45 and 60 Baht). Now as regards my Cans, Magners bottles, Cider and Boddingtons, if I were to put the same % on those as I do bottled beer they would probably never sell. I charge 170 Baht for Boddingtons at any time, if I said 140 Phil then I must have had to many with the Old Soldiers!!!. Raro certainly seemed a happy man whatever he was drinking!!!

Cheers

Probably a misunderstanding, perhaps on my part, sorry about that. Still 170 in a pub for a pint that cost 140 in the Supermarket is still a good price imo.

There's a BKK distributor who got the exclusive importing license. Hopefully, there won't be too much price variations among retailers that decide to stock it.

UPDATE: March 9th 2010

I made a full inspection of the canned bitter beers available in Friendship Supermarket at 0815 this morning:

We know that Boddington's is 2.75 GBP per pint now, but what would the Marstons and Tetley come to in GBP then?

It's always necessary to compare Thai prices w/ those in dear ol' Blighty.

A pint can of export retails for $1.79 in the U.S. and $6.49 for a 4-pack. In converted U.S. dollars, Friendship is selling a pint for $4.22.

Here's a U.S. price list for those who are interested in the cost of their favorite brew in the U.S.

My next quest: Samuel Smith's Nut Brown Ale - I began drinking it when I was 12 years old (shhh! don't tell anyone). My first imported beer love.

Samuel Smith's Stout was available on draught, in the Sportsman's bar Soi 13 last time I was in there. (February 19th 2010).

I did not sample it, so I cannot comment on it flavour, quality or temperature.
