plopmeister Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 well, it's about the same with Chang, Singha and Leo...drinking beer in Thailand is a losing proposition...I stick to the vodka and orange juice... I tell you what I have started to do during this hot spell... I splash a small amount of "Queen" lemon squash ( Tesco Lotus 46 Baht a bottle) into the bottom of a glass and pour in ice cold Chang Export. It looks and tastes bloody excellent... all right, that sounds like a good one! I wondered about using V8 vegetable juice for the same purpose...gotta try it sometime... the triumph of western ingenuity! As Tafia has said it is all lager anyway and I normally prefer Bitter. However adding a dash of Queen Lemon squash it really brings back the lager and lime days of my yoof.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chooka Posted May 13, 2012 Share Posted May 13, 2012 The range of beers available in Thailand is poor, I get a bigger range in one pub in England, so this is one of the downsides of living in Thailand but we have to balance this with the prices the beer in England is often 3 times the price! We all have different tastes so what suits one does not suit another. Archa is ok once in a while, Chang Export is ok as well and Chang draught at 4.2% is good if you are having a session. As I only drink one or two a day I will put with the situation as Thailand has the overal better quality of life for me. I will remember a pint of Batemans XXXB and Adnams Broadside and drift away now. The range of beers in Thailand is poor because it is all about protecting the local industry. You can buy imported beers but they are not in large quantities. You can buy XXXX and V.B from Australia at TOPS. The immatation Fosters is available also but not the Aussie Fosters.

AussieKenny Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 There's a lot of opinions floating around here but for me, I say this and stand by it..... I've never had a beer IN THAT BEERS COUNTRY that I didn't thoroughly enjoy. That's all I have to say about that. Kenny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

giddyup Posted May 15, 2012 Share Posted May 15, 2012 (edited) For pure flavour I don't think you can go past Heineken. Not that I want to drink it every day, but when the other beers start to taste a bit bland, I have a Heineken to wake up the taste buds. Pity they don't have the Heineken Dark here. Just about any ice-cold beer on a stinking hot day tastes like nectar to me. Edited May 15, 2012 by giddyup Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't believe I would class beer Leo with the likes of Archa and Chang. Well understood, that Chang domestic isn't really beer and a bad rep. Archa is it's worst cousin.

Hey, I drink it because I like the taste, don't label people. It's also been the world's most popular beer at least 22 years in a row,so there must be a lot of MC members out there. Heineken, the lager produced by the Dutch brewing company of the same name, was the most popular beer of 2009, with sales of 11 million hectolitres (1100,000,000 litres).

(... because of the allowed number of quoted blocks of text I removed a quote related to the amount of piss produced :-) ...) Noted, but I think it's time to complain: a most populous state is not always necessarily a popular one (by definition) whether you think in terms of rainwater, fish, number of inhabitants of current German states or whatever comes to mind.
