gonzo123 Posted March 20, 2012 Share Posted March 20, 2012 (edited) Only one, Coopers Sparkling Ale brewed in Adelaide, Australia. Naturally fermented in the bottle, So beautiful , but quite strong . Sumptuous . Readily available in Bkk, in fact not only is the red label you refer to available so are the green label (pale ale) and the yellow label (stout) also available. Depending on where you buy I have seen it priced from 109 baht per bottle to as low as 59 baht, after confirming the price was 59 baht I asked the girl to give me 4 cases. She looked at me as if I was stupid. This was for the regular 375ml size bottles. Thats cheaper then you can get it in Aus. There is nothing better then a crown lager straight out of the ice.

gkinbkk Posted March 21, 2012 Share Posted March 21, 2012 I'm a man with simple tastes....... I'd really love Speights from NZ to be available here. Not a great beer but a very nostalgic taste. They have started selling it in Singapore so I dont see why we cant have it too! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't remember any good ales on offer and I stuck with lager...but a wonderful country that was and I remember it as 'a season in the Fenlands...'...when I left, the pub landlord let me drink for free from 6 to 10pm...never seen nothin' like it, and I made up by buying rounds for everyone...I sent them a post card from my next job in Abu Dhabi and if the same couple run the pub you'll see it tacked up on the wall... that was 1998, what a place...yahs, yahs...

draftvader Posted October 7, 2012 Share Posted October 7, 2012 Resurrecting this thread for some pretty fine news. This week saw the launch of Beervana, an American importer of American "craft" beers. I was fortunate enough to taste a number of US ales on my recent trip to England and realised that they have come a LONG way. They are quite different to most of the ales in England, a lot stronger to start with. This week Beervana shipped their first orders across Bangkok to an awaiting public. They have around 10 different ales from 2 brewers, including a 3 year world beer Silver medalist "Rogue Ales". They are not cheap at B250 for a 335ml bottle but if you are like me, a non-drinker except for fine tipples, then this is a price WELL worth paying. Yesterday they showed their ales at Bo.Lan's artisan market and cracked open a fair few bottles for us to taste (quite confusing for me at 10am!). They were all very nice, but I settled on 3 bottles each of: Rogue Ale's - Dead Guy Ale Anderson Valley Brewery Company's - Hop Ottin' The 2nd one is more like a British ale, it is an IPA, but at 7% it has some balls! Anyway, if you are interested just search for Seekbeervana on Facebook. Nice people too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Taggart Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 Interesting topic for something I've been trying to work around in my mind for the last few days? What is a "real ale"? A beer that's been bottle or can conditioned? Not always easy to know unless you ask the brewery directly. One beer I know for sure that measures this spec is Schneider Weisse Aventinus from Germany. It says right on the label "bottle fermented" and I also know it's unfiltered. This wheat-doppelbock has a great taste and at 8.2% ABV, one 500ml. bottle of this has me light headed very quickly. Doing a switch to the above title, I wish here in Canada they would import the large bottles of Singha at 6% ABV, but we only seem to get the smaller bottles in six packs with a lower ABV at 5%. It doesn't taste as good as their offering in Thailand either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rajab Al Zarahni Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 I agree with your listing of Batemans. I tried some of their 6x draught. I thought I had arrived in paradise. I would also like to have Jennings snek lifter, Thwaites Black Magic stout and Mitchells bitter. I think Thailand should pass a law making it compulsory for all bars to sell only English beer along with severe penalties for non-compliance.

Taggart Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 A couple of years ago I was lucky to be able to acquire a few bottles of Hitachino Nest White Ale imported from Japan. Terrific slightly citric taste and very refreshing. The first thought that crossed my mind is that this beer would probably do very well in a tropical country like Thailand. Fairly good ABV at 5.5%. Very good scores at both beeradvocate and ratebeer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
