Jack Mountain Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 A few days ago I couldn't find the 63cl bottle in a 7/11 and yesterday at my favorite drinking place they said that the wholesale-shop only could deliver 50cl and smaller bottles. Anyone? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyTucker Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Singha have stopped selling the 630ml bottles and changed to 500ml. Some places will have old stock of the bigger size.

Jack Mountain Posted January 25, 2014 Author Share Posted January 25, 2014 Great! A 13.4% increase per liter, correct me if i am wrong. Whole-sale prices: 1 box 12 * 630ml = 650 Baht 1 box 12 * 500ml = 585 Baht Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Costas2008 Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 I think they are downgrading at the moment because of Chitpas Bhirombhakdi, the singha heiress. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marko kok prong Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 lets face it all Thai beer is awful due to the preservatives,i drink singha because it gives me less of a hangover than leo,where i wake up feeling like Dr mengele has been working on me at open brain surgery above my right eye,or chang,where i spend the rest of the next day feeling as if i have been drugged,oh for some aussie cascade lager where you can drink 12+ stubbies and wake up feeling as fresh as a daisy because- no preservatives.

wym Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 This is an issue? Really? Maybe I'm missing something - what possible difference would the size of the bottle make? Just buy a couple more of them. Or does your diabetes require precisely calibrating your ounces per hour or something? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or does your diabetes require precisely calibrating your ounces per hour or something? its only an issue if the new 500ml costs the same as the old 630ml if it were about 20% cheaper i dont think anyone would care but since alcohol has gotten 33% more expensive in the last 6 months this would be an additional kick in the teeth for drinkers of horse piss singha beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

catmac Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Not exactly on topic, I know, but does anyone know why most Asian countries use a 630cc bottle as standard? I would have assumed that old British colonies would use some version of the British pint, and French or Dutch ex-colonies something more akin to the litre (e.g the new 500cc Singha bottle.) I think that Singha are just following the world-wide move to standardise sizes. Even in UK now most bottled beer has moved from 1 pint to 500cc. and canned beers are nearly always either 1/3rd of a litre or 1/2 of a litre.

Briggsy Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Brits in Thailand are frothing at the mouth instead of frothing in their beer glasses. Those interfering eurocrats in Brussels have ordered Singha Beer to reduce the size of their bottles to 500 mi. "Leave our Singha alone, Garcon!" say Fred and Harold when interviewed in the notorious Soi Bua Cow Red-Light district. "A large bottle from 7-11 used to do me for 20 minutes," said Fred, "but now I am buying a new one every 5 minutes. My pension won't last till the end of the month." This is what I read in the Daily Mail. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
