Boddington's Pub Ale, The Cream Of Manchester

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

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

Bert

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.

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

Boddingtons: 138 baht 568ml can (4.7%)

Marstons Pedigree: 110 baht 500ml can (4.5%)

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.
