StoneSoup Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Ohara's Irish Pale Ale. I had never heard of this beer before, but when it arrived in Bangkok, and I got my first pint, I was gobsmacked - it was almost the exact beer I would seek out, if I had any choice of any beer. So far, I have only found it served at five places in Bangkok - at the Royal Oak Pub, the Dubliner Pub, the No Idea Pub, at Mulligan's on Soi 11, and at Molly Malone's Pub on Convent.

HeavyDrinker Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Ohara's Irish Pale Ale. I'll look out for that. On the subject of Pale Ales, India Pale Ale (often abbreviated to just IPA) was popular in Colonial India as it was said to be especially palatable in a hot climate yet I've never seen any here. I may bring some back with me next time I go to the UK and put that theory to the test. And you call yourself a Heavy Drinker. Shame on you mister, shame on you. There is always place for a Guinness. Middle age kicking in I'm afraid.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kilgore Trout Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Real beer does not come from a tap. When I brew it does; I prime straight into the keg Best imported beer in bangkok: Leffe, Chimay, unfortunately too expensive for me to drink all the time Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tutsiwarrior Posted March 23, 2012 Share Posted March 23, 2012 Just about anything that is brewed by an enthusiastic brewer in a proper brewery (decent lagers included, given that we live in a hot climate), rather than manufactured in a factory by 'operators' directed by accountants and corporate chemical engineering graduates. [TV CAMRA member] Santi....arrange an afternoon flight out of Danang airport in Vietnam. Get there early and enjoy the real ales...

Middle age kicking in I'm afraid.... One hates to contradict a fellow poster Mr Drinker, but I thought the point with IPA was that though it was brewed to withstand the voyage to India it never actually got out of the country. Having said that, in the UK I like to drink it because it's (generally) lower alcoholic content does less damage to my constitution the next day. One exception is the Fullers which I think is 5%, but bloody good all the same. And my answer would be Caledonian IPA, although I did not come to Thailand to drink overpriced imported ale. I'm quite happy with the local gear. But each to our own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tutsiwarrior Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 (edited) To all the Brits. Pedigree or Tetleys? To all the Brits. Pedigree or Tetleys? I ain't a brit but I know real ales after 10 years residence and Tetley's is some of the worst shit I've ever had...it even tastes the same in Leeds and there's no excuse... Marston's Pedigree is a favorite when in the east midlands...but it doesn't travel well and if the pub landlord doesn't keep a good cellar temperature and clean pipes then it can get really stinky...of all the Burton-on-Trent ales Bass is the best all around...tastes the same wherever ye go...a nice pint at the 16th century Dolphin pub in Derby next to the cathedral...'yo! tutsi!...'...'hey, niggah! whatchoo doin'?...yeah!...' Ind Coope Burton Ale is one of the best but usually only available locally, near Derby and etc...best served poured out of a big pitcher rather than hand pump...

dantilley Posted April 18, 2012 Share Posted April 18, 2012 Well, if we're moving onto bottled beers then Tripel Karmeliet has to be one of the best, and starting to be available in a few places in Bangkok. La Choufe also very nice though, and Kwak, especially if you get it in the proper Kwak glass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or not.. www.boonrawd.co.th/ They also seam to brew good quality Singha. Do have a reference? I want to know why this gives me a headache. Leo and Asahi must have a different formula then Singha.

ScotsExpat Posted April 26, 2012 Share Posted April 26, 2012 At last, as a Scot who has been moved here by work for the next few years, as opposed to chosen Thailand over any other country to live out my years, and as someone who has taken their Russian fiancee with them, as I would be the first to admit I have never really seen the fascination of any member of the opposite sex from this part of the world, a topic I can actually post in!!!! Kilkenny. I have spent the last 14 years of my travelling life tracking the places where one can purchase a pint of, or a can of, this fine Irish ale. Obviously there are a few expat bars in BKK that carry it. The 2 I have frequented so far being the Robin Hood and The Dubliner (pretty much gives away where my temp accommodation is!!) but I have a question of this esteemed bored...... Has anyone seen cans for sale anywhere? I am starting to think that theu simply don't exist and, as a result, will be relelgated to pleading with some bar manager to allow me to purchase a keg off him every so often to allow me to continue to enjoy said alcoholic beverage in the comfort of my home home....

ShanePashen Posted May 2, 2012 Share Posted May 2, 2012 As far as bottled beer goes, my personal tastes tend to go towards Japanese beers, I do love Sapporo, Kirin, and Asahi. Bloody great beers I reckon, to each their own. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
