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.

But that comes from Cuba. I doubt whether there is any trade between Thailand and Cuba except in cigars ? Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Savage Posted December 30, 2005 Share Posted December 30, 2005 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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
p_brownstone Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 What about the London Pub soi 33,thought they brewed their own bitter? That stuff is probably the most disgusting "beer" in Thailand, to me it's virtually undrinkable. Patrick Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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!

madmitch Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 [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 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
monsieurhappy Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 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! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lampard10 Posted December 31, 2005 Share Posted December 31, 2005 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
