Draught Beer For The Home

[whistleblower]

Is there anywhere in Thailand where you can buy a beer cooler and draught tap (same as in a pub) for your home?? I know back home we have mini keggers but has anyone heard of where you can get them here???

[h90]

What does it help, if you can't get half decent beer?

[somtumlion]

They sell them, right next to the AA meeting place. Better go there first..

[chrisinth]

Not sure if you can buy them but I have rented them before (for parties) and that was done through the distributor. I remember I did it through Carlsberg (a while ago) and I think it was Heineken more recently.

If you order enough, you likely will get a little beer girl thrown in........................

Dont think the wife will like that LOL

I dont want it for a party, i just want to buy one so i can have draught beer at home.

you do realise that as soon as you pop open a keg it has a shelf life of days; you will need to sink a lot of beer in a week for it not to end up costing you 1000 baht a pint before you even count the cost of gas etc

Calculated that but you can get the 15 liter (30 pint) kegs and it wont take me long to polish off one of those

Where are you? Mini kegs available from Paulaner, Bangkok. Delivered.

If you're using one of those CO2 pumps instead of the normal hand pump tap it will last longer

Home brew??

The distributor who sells you the beer (15l) will have a plastic cooler with stainless tubes inside and a tap on the outside. You fill the cooler with ice and water and voila. They will also rent you the gas bottle.

if you can find the Veltins/Erdinger distributor they will rent you an electric cooler. Heineken/Tiger as well maybe if you buy their beer.

There is a german beerhouse in the Sukhumvit ( don't know the exact address, me think it is Soi 22 ) I once met the owner on a party. He is brewing his own beer (!!) which tastes REALLY well , a classic medium dark draft beer. I remember he said that you can buy small kegs as well as large ones from him for parties or to drink it at home. I will have to contact a buddy in Bangkok for the exact address and will post it here as soon as I get hold of it.

[crazygreg44]

All Veltins, Paulaner or Erdinger beers are WEIZENBIER ( light Wheat-beer ) which does actually does not taste like a Heineken/Carlsberg brand Lager or Pils beer.

I am working on retrieving the adress of the brewmaster in Bangkok and his tasty draft beer. And yes, he has kegs, coolers and all the outfit.

[cooked]

there were some second hand ones for sale on the home brew Thailand forum if I remember right.

[crazygreg44]

still got no reply from my buddy in BKK. Maybe you go into Sukhumvit Soi 11 to the German Beer bar and ask. They oughta know this guy !

10 days for 1 European who doesn't like beer.

2 days for 2 alcis maybe less if they are heavy with well trained liver....

very manageable amount......Just the amount a real Bavarian needs to flush down the pork leg in the heat of lunch time....

Prost

Just a quick last one, if you do go the whole distance and get your barrel and cooler, you will find that there will be a lot of wastage on the first draw of the day. It has something to do with the ambient temperature dropping just that one degree overnight. Best to finish the barrel before turning in!

Also be careful when cleaning the pipes that you have the correct cleaner and that it is diluted correctly. Apart from that, enjoy.....

Thanks for the tips. Have actually sent emails to thai bev and boonrawd to see if i can get one from them. I do a lot of entertaining at home so it will definately get used.

[meatboy]

do what i done bought my own fridge beer and cider only,no unauthorized person allowed to open,on tap 24/7 cheers.

[whistleblower]

I live out in Samat Sakhon. hence the difficulty getting decent draught beer

[crazygreg44]

Ok whitleblower, here is the adress !! The place is called Tawandaeng, is on the corner of Naraithiwat Road / Rama 3 Road. The brewmaster's name is Jochen. Lots of Taxidrivers know the place.

I bet you will like the fresh draught beer, though it is a bit off the normal bottled stuff. And yes he has kegs & Cooler & Tap equipment.

oh , and how do you fill the tower ? With beer from bottles ???? Where is the trick, i don't see any kegs in the photo !? Or is it only me ?

[whistleblower]

I dont understand what your asking. I currently have a tower that I fill with bottled beer. I want/need a cooler/keg/pump gas etc to have draught beer in my house.
