chris1101 Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 I am clearly in the presence of some serious and knowledgeable imbibers of beer, so may I respectfully ask the following: I usually drink bottles of Leo and Singha (at home and in Pattaya bars). I have seen the brands Tiger and Chang but my Thai wife is quite (if not very) adamant that I do not try those two. My question: is there any valid reason to avoid Tiger and Chang? This is a serious question for my learning curve. Thanks to all who reply. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smiling mantis Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) Not for nothing, but I was just at the Tops in Central Airport Plaza, Chiang Mai, and I grabbed the last of the beer there... four big bottles of Red Horse. The only stuff remaining is non-alcoholic beer and those mixed drink things. They did a great job of not making it appear too obvious, filling the shelves normally full of beer with Pringles potato chips. So when you first walk into the aisle, your eye is greeted with row after row of tall vertical goods where the beer is supposed to be and the brain says "Yes!" but it only lasts a second or two until you realize the swindle.

BinDhumm Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 THE WORST CASE SCENARIO: NO BEER IN PATTAYA AND THE CABLE TV BREAKS DOWN!!! Doomsday.

BinDhumm Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 My local shop here at On Nut is currently stocked, but she said shortages may be coming. I bought 4 boxes which involved 4 trips to the shop on a motorbike. I intend to buy 4 more. Call me greedy, but I gotta have my beer! well then....hope electric keeps working and not let anyone with beerbellys know were you live. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a serious question for my learning curve. Thanks to all who reply. Well.....as far as I observed for nearly 10 years, drinkers of more than 5 big chang per day have an average survival rate of 5-6 Years. Then their kidneys and liver refuses service, unless they die by motorbike crash before. Leo seems more liverfriendly. Heineken is no beer, just looks alike. No reason to avoid tiger thou.

RickBradford Posted November 9, 2011 Share Posted November 9, 2011 (edited) All they had in the local shop today is Chang Export -- cut down from 6.7% to 5.0% and all the flavour taken out. The blandest thing I've tasted since I had the misfortune to try a Coors when I was in the US. Equally poodle's p*ss, both of them Edited November 9, 2011 by RickBradford Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chang is known for its legendary hangovers (changovers) that can put you out of action for a day or two, I no longer touch the stuff. Strange you should mention 'hangovers'. Since my retirement here in 2007 (I do not appear to learn with age) I have returned home on a handful of evenings and the following day have had no recollection of the previous evening let alone how I arrived at home with my wife. However, having felt somewhat 'rough' the following day I have never had a 'UK' type hangover. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure about the vaidity of this, but I vaguely remember hearing that at least one of these 2 beers (Chang I think) being the Thai equivaent of "Stella Artois". Stella Artois is sometimes referred to as "wife beater" - if true, this might just be the reason!!! Why don't you ask her???? By the way, I drink Leo myself as it is a bit sweeter than "Bia Singh" and less gassy, which appeals as the lesser of 2 evils to a hardened CAMRA buff!!:jap:.

I will.. With due respect I never thought of that one. I was not indifferent to Stella in the UK. As far as any beer is concerned, as someone posted, it does not cause me to become violent - only an excess causes me to become abusive. I really should practice what I say!! Hopefully my learning curve will now improve. Thanks for all replies and God Bless those in Thailand who are suffering from recent/current events.
