Which beer is your favourite (in Thailand)?

[britmaveric]

Normally Chang - Singha - Tiger. Voted for Chang!

[sonthaya]

Voted Chang since Carlsberg is no longer available.in Thailand.

[zzap]

George will be pleased with the result so far...

[paulnuek]

No John Smiths??????

Brown Ale......

[Bung]

I'm with Sonthaya. Carlsberg ruled until they took their bat and ball and went home. So much so that my wife used to call me "Mr Carlsberg"

Chang is good as you don't need many to get a glow on....

Sometimes Leo as my wife enjoys it also.

[jackr]

Tiger without a doubt. I, too, was a Carlsberg fan, but the Tiger seems to have replaced that and isn't that much different but is heaps better - same, same but different. Doesn't go off as easy as Carlsberg either. Chang is great after a run when one has been sweating like a pig, but like the rest - Singha, Leo etc - it has weird <deleted> in it that doesn't bode well with sleeping soundly

[Bung]

Thinking about it...Chang buy a mile. Mai pairng and can pull into any shop on the way home, they always have it. The locals think you are ok too if they come by and spy a couple in your fridge

Even though I am drinking Carib in the Caribbean tonight

[Florin]

Gotta be Asahi for me, love that dry taste...

[kayo]

Always LEO when in LOS

Cases?

Anyway, voted *Chang* but my preferences bend toward Archa these days.

Cheers? A mixture of Coca Cola and turpentine IMO.

[frond]

I like Leo and Tiger.

I bought 4 bottles of San Miguel the other night. Drank two--absolutely tasteless. I let the other two bottles stay put while I ran out and got some Leo!

[Jai Dee]

Forget the rest... Chang is best.

[The Coder]

Leo...finally a good everyday Thai beer that is smooth enough to drink all night long and matches well with Thai food. The price is the clincher. My favorite pour to get excited about would be a specialty wheat beer of which there are many good ones; bottles from Germany and local microbrew.

[autonomous_unit]

Someone with too much time on their hands should search for the dozens of previous "favorite beer in Thailand" threads and polls to compile a master list!

And of course, this poll left off the only really drinkable local beer: Red Horse...

[PREM-R]

I like Chang but Chang doesn't like me!!! Half a dozen bottles and next morning I have a "frenchman in my head with a big hammer"

Usually drink Leo, like the draught but the bottles are OK. Used to drink Singha but stopped when I read about the formaldahide.

The others are much of a muchness - designed to be "premium" beers and consequently more expensive, even though they are brewed under licence here in Thailand.

The venue also makes a difference ie Small Heineken or Tiger in BKK 80-85 baht Large Leo in KK 38 baht (and free ice as well)

[Soph]

Singha is my favourite, but Chang is what I buy because I am usually poor

[Khun Yak]

Cheers shortly ahead of Tiger,

"cheers"

Say no more, by the truck full.

Cheers

Chang, without a doubt. I like Singha, but too many makes me feel like death the following morning. Chang is an awesome session lager.

Although a small schooner of dry sherry is sometimes nice, too.

[buadhai]

If it's beer by itself, I drink Chang. With a meal I prefer Singha.

But, somehow on a very hot day there's nothing like an ice cold Kloster.

[Bung]

I'm trying to figure out if Chang is winning this hands down because it is the best beer or because it is the strongest and everyone here likes to get roasted as quickly and cheaply as possible?

I like it, a quick two "king browns" after a day toiling around the yard and I feel pretty good

[wittleus]

Which beer is your favourite (in Thailand)?

I voted other: the Lager Beer at the Tawandaeng Brewery in Bangkok on Rama III. Great Stuff.

I find most of the bottled beer sour, burns the hel_l out of my stomach. Generally drink them with ice. If I drink the bottled beer, choice one is Leo, choice two is Heiniken, but even Heiniken Thailand is a unique flavor (not necessarily a good flavor) as compared to European or American version.

[Bung]

What's happening? After bolting out of the gates, Chang is at a standstill and Heineken and Singha are catching up.

Have all the Chang fans already polled and the others were a bit slow?

Fascinating.

[BKKGuitar]

Can NOT believe San Miguel is at a mere 3%! It's great in the Philippines, and it's the best thing going here. That and Asahi.

Chang? come on, i can't believe what i'm reading here.

Heineken in cans gives me a headache the next day. Bottles no headache, but the taste is not there, it's way different from Heineken in other countries.

[Bung]

I think San Miguel is good to but I have never seen it, probably why it hasn't polled. Same for Asahi.

Heineken here is absolute cats p!ss and provides the worst hangovers, I don't know how anyone can vote for it.

Chang is probably leading as it is what is the most widely available anywhere up country when the need arises, just needs to add some some ice in your tankard

[redrus]

Sing sing sink another Singha for me, followed by Chang then prob Tiger.....

redrus

[solo siam]

Asahi for me, its not too sweet like most of the thai beers and has a clean fresh taste. Generally though I drink Chang/Tiger.

Two places i get my San Miguel from are Family Mart on Soi 4 (down the Soi a bit, kind of across the soi from Sin bar) and the food store, basement level at Siam Paragon. They have Pale Pilsen and Light.... mmmmmm
