mrireland Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The Olde Belle on Loi Kroh serves them, think it was around the 180-220 baht mark, didn't try it so cant tell you of the quality Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoloFlyer Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 I saw a joint on Nimann soi 17?? with Guinness promos advertised. I'd like to see a Thai uni pub go off on Guinness. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
millwall_fan Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 The Olde Bell sell Guinness for 195 a pint. If you live in Chiang Mai and get their Gold Card you get 10% off, which makes a pint 176 baht, which might be the cheapest in town - unless someone knows better! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TongueThaied Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 I love a Guiness but I appear to have an allergy to the price of the stuff in this country. Every time I spring for one, my asshol_e begins to itch. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And more important than just price is the fact Pedre looks after it - always a good pint (or three) !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was called Pinky's for several years and they sold Guinness until a couple of years ago which is the last time I was in there. I've no idea if they still sell it, but as you say, Dave the sign is still up as I pass it everyday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last I knew the Guinness sign was still up but that's just because no one had gotten around to taking it down, ditto for the "buffalo wings" sign.

Well it cant be the best and cheapest now can it Since the Old Bell is only 176 that would make it the cheapest now whether it is the best is another point but not both DK Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted July 5, 2012 Share Posted July 5, 2012 Well i must admit to not having been to the Old Bell in several years so i must give it a try . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OldeBellPedr Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Well i must admit to not having been to the Old Bell in several years so i must give it a try . don't forget to sign up for a Gold Card first: the discounted price is only available to local residents. As to the quality, as we all get our Guinness from the same supplier and that supplier cleans the pipes, the quality should be pretty much the same in all 5 establishments that sell it: The Pub, The Red Lion, The Olde Bell, UN Irish and O'Malleys.

OriginalPoster Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 (edited) So can any one shed any light on the price of a pint in the remaining three places?? Unless you're going to be drinking dozens of them in a sitting, the prices aren't enough different between these places to justify paying Tuk Tuk fare from one of them to another. I bet they are all within 10% of each other, or maybe 20% if you factor in special deals given to people who know the establishment's secret handshake and can prove that they are a Mason.

BillyBobThai Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 Being from the states, I have never had a Guinness. In fact I am not one who is much on beer at all. My self I am a SangSom drinker but I think I will venture out to the Old Bell one night and see what all talk about Guinness is about. Maybe I will be a convert.

WinnieTheKhwai Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 It's like Beer Lao Dark. There was a local dark beer for a while but that never was a hit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

keo Posted July 7, 2012 Share Posted July 7, 2012 It's like Beer Lao Dark. There was a local dark beer for a while but that never was a hit. The dark Beer Laos is more like a German dunkel, highly carbonated and quite sweet. Guinness is a viscous, dry stout, with low carbonation. Not even remotely similar! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The color of the beer is a very poor predictor of what it tastes like -- there must be at least a dozen very different styles of beer that are very dark in appearance.
