Real Beer

[baan_yangyai]

Can someone PLEASE help me find a place in either Bangkok or NakornRatchasima where I can get Real ale. I am sick to the teeth of the Thai watery swill (Singha, Chang etc.).!

Anxiously awaiting ANY suggestions!

I've lived in Thailand continuously for 12 years and I have yet to see what you call "Real Ale". There is no such thing here....nor possibly anywhere else outside of the UK.

Try "Red Horse" bottled by San Miguel and it's stronger than Chang.

Any 7 - 11, Tesco Lotus or Big C will stock it.....together with "Blue Ice" from San Miguel.

Try Chequers on Suk Soi4, just after Nana PLaza - Speckled Hen on draught. Ok its smoothflow type draught, but it seems to have travelled quite well!!!

[baan_yangyai]

Cheers Mate! I'll make that my next port of call !

The Old Speckled Hen at Chequers is 180 baht per pint. OSH is available at a lot of pubs here.

Unfortunately someone shopped us to customs and it got siezed, even though I had paid duty on it. It seemed funny they came when I was in Pattaya as well.

I love the the wonderful, malty Bucanero. But that comes from Cuba.

I doubt whether there is any trade between Thailand and Cuba except in cigars ?

I think your best bet is to get yourself a visa drive a few hundred k's up the road and get stuck into some beer Lao.

With regards to Bangkok try the more upmarket supermakets and you can pick up some German beer. And remember Germany has a 100% purity law for its beer mmmmmmmmm

That stuff is probably the most disgusting "beer" in Thailand, to me it's virtually undrinkable.

With all due respect my friend beer Lao is the dogs nuts. Nicest beer in the region.

Well.. each to their own I 'spose... while I agree it's not a bad beer.. it doesn't stand out as the nicest in the region (apart from in Lao ).

Definately not worth a trip to Lao just to buy it IMHO.. can just buy Leo

Fair enough. When I first came to Thailand I drank Chang and after a while I tired of that and changed to Leo and then Heineken. Now I have turned full circle and drink Chang again. Ho Hum! Happy new year!

[baan_yangyai]

Please, please send me details of where I can get my hands on those beers! I wish to buy in bulk and sent to my address in Korat!

Cheers!

Which beers ?

totster

[madmitch]

[best beer I have found here is Headbutt Strong Ale. Unfortunately it's only available at the Brewhouse in the airport, as far as I am aware.

The wheat beer at Tawandaeng is also pretty good

[monsieurhappy]

Right now, Carrefour are selling 500 ml. cans of John Smiths Smooth for 125 baht each. The cans have the "widget" thingy so pour very good - drink from a glass, it tastes mich better. Not the best of British ales I admitt as only 4% but they make a welcome change to the rubbish we have to suffer over here.

As an aside, if you've never tried Red Horse, then do so. Lacks taste I admitt, but oh so smooth!

[lampard10]

Strange isn't it.......I used to sell loads of Sigha and Chang in the UK at 1.50 a small bottle. Restaurants were charging double that.
