Mekong Bob Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 What's the latest on the return of Carlberg beer to Thailand? Is it indeed available in Bangkok and Pattaya? Are bottles and cans available in supermarkets? When can we expect to nsee Carlsberg in Chiang Mai? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Itt's a sad reflection of beers in Thailand if folk are getting excited about Carlsberg Not knocking Carlsberg, I'll probably be drinking it once it's available. btw, anyone know where I can get Federbrau by the case? Only shop I've seen it in is Tesco, but only by the bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OriginalPoster Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 (edited) A number of palces in Bangkok have Carlsberg on tap. It's not bad, maybe almost as good as Leo; probably Heineken drinkers will love the stuff. Haven't seen it in bottles yet but that doesn't mean that it's not there.

OriginalPoster Posted December 19, 2011 Share Posted December 19, 2011 From readinf prior threads on ThaiVisa, I've learned that Chang Export & Federbrau are good beers, Beer Lao is great beer, and Carlsberg is an absolute nectar of the gods. Is that not also what people on forums outside of Thailand think? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will have to check out the microbrewery, have not been for 10 years I suppose that there is a chance that you might like one or more of the current incarnations of the German Microbrewery's beers. There are people that do. But you're not likely to think that any of them taste much like an English ale unless you're 12 beers deep into your daily drinking before you enter the place, and especially not their dunkel lager. That's what's gets me the most about people holding out the ales from back home as the ultimate in the art of brewing, that when in Thailand they so often compare lagers and even malt lquors to them with no sense of irony. Makes me wonder how many Brits could tell a glass of turpentine from from a CAMRA approved ale if put to the test. .

At The Olde Bell We've got Pride and London Porter(as have Red Lion) if you want something different. Personally I think London Pride is up there with Theakston's and Marsden's Pedigree. I share your craving for Real Ale though!! We sometimes sell the Dunkel from the Microbrewery (as does O'Malley's) I haven't got any at the moment, but I'm getting a barrel in for Christmas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
