Beer, Guiness, how about the price of Magners Cider 568ml 560B?

Irish Times do have import beers on draft and you pay a premium but also normally have Chang on draft at 99B a pint but Cider prices around Phuket where you can get it is well on the higher side of things, a small std bottle is around 220B, beer in LOS is no longer cheap unless you drink crap or live out in the sticks

What about Blue Eyes beer? Remember it was being marketed in Phuket a few years ago, is it still there?

Beer brands in Thailand come and go, I have sold Amarit and Amstel, which are not there anymore for sure, and Kloster (meaning monastery in German, very appropriate to drink in a lady bar), which I doubt is still around. I used to drink a lot of Singgold.

Something i seen on a recent visit to Kanchanaburi.

Posted it in the pub but seems relevant to this so...

It could be methanol.

It's used as a cheap way to get backpackers drunk. In many cases, they are unaware they are drinking it.

A few have died from it in Bali, and probably in Thailand as well, but it would have been covered up here.

A random article, for anyone interested.

Lighten up man, at the bottom of the ad it simply says FALSE ADVERTISING, a bit like the ads Top less barmaids and free beer tommorow.

On the shelf at maxvalu the nine Rama IX BKK

It's cheating to count imported beers. For Thai beers, Phuket Beer is the most expensive if you can even find it.

Do they still make it? It must be hard to find because I haven't seen it in years.

It had a colourful label if I remember correctly.

Seduction caronas over the 200 baht mark.

Cheapest beers must ne the 10 baht red whisky shots along bungla opening at 3 am in the morning .

Nicest chaps in LOS.

So, the cheapest beer is a whisky - ok. :)

I have no doubt they serve back packers lao khao, particularly in buckets, all over Thailand. It can be just as dangerous.

It's falsely advertised as "vodka red bull bucket" etc etc.

A quick google revealed this website and story.

10 of the world's most expensives beers.

http://www.thedrinksbusiness.com/2014/03/10-of-the-worlds-most-expensive-beers/

There's some interesting brews in there. The article is near a year old, and the most expensive beer the was Vieille Bon Secours ale, Belgium – £700 ($1,165), 12-litres.

I'm off to buy some Tactical Nuclear Penguin

At 32% - I wouldn't be buying many. :)

Definately not the beer you want in a hot climate.

I had Phuket beer in small green bottles for 80 baht in a restaurant at Chaeng Wattana Central in Nonthaburi today. I was impressed. I think it is the best Thai produced lager. It tastes right, the percentage of alcohol is right. It's a good beer. I wish they sold it in supermarkets.
