hougourou Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 A CM made craft beer which a friend tried in a bar here. I don't really do bars--does anyone know if it is sold in shops? Thanks and happy new year to all! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chiengmaijoe Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 As far as I know, brew pubs are not allowed to sell off the premises. If it is a separate brewery, I'd like to know more. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
keo Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Highly doubt it will be for sale in any shops. You could try the bottle shop on Nimman though.Best bet would be to pick up a couple of bottles to take away from Nam Ton's.It's not cheap though - 200THB/bottle is what I heard (at Nam Ton's). The brewery is in Laos... https://www.facebook.com/chiangmaibeer/ Haven't tried it myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hougourou Posted December 31, 2015 Author Share Posted December 31, 2015 Thanks for this info. I thought it was locally brewed. Oh well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sappersrest Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 You can get the real thing at Tops supermarket at central festival, also our good friend at The Red Lion does a good selection of British beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sappersrest Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 (edited) PS just fond a bottle of Shepherd and Neams Spitfire at the back of the fridge good for toasting the new year in. Edited December 31, 2015 by sappersrest Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar2 Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 anyone know if that is a brewery or what - across from Riverside, Good View, etc.? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LivinLOS Posted December 31, 2015 Share Posted December 31, 2015 Red truck is strange deal.. They are 'illegal' brewers who have cut a deal to 'import' their beer (from chiang mai !!) and are paying the legal import duty but avoiding the 100,000 liters a month requirement for a local beer brew license.. Didnt think that much of it, yes its craft beer but only so so.. Wizen a bit watery.. Now 'my beer friend' brews.. Top quality.. Search it out.

PattayaClub Posted January 1, 2016 Share Posted January 1, 2016 I used to drink it in the US. It was made in California: http://www.beeradvocate.com/beer/profile/5605/11856/?ba=humanawho http://www.redtruckbeer.com/redtruckbeer/limitedbeer.asp Did somebody here steal the name? Who would do such a thing in this country? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wouldn't surprise me. Fair play to CMB for making it happen. Regardless of the taste, it is still progress. I see Stonehead have "First Legal Thai Craft Beer" on their logo. Maybe need to consider changing that! Hopefully the powers that be will wake up and remove the shackles from the local craft beer market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Finally found somewhere that serves this....gonna have to check it out. Seems better on tap than it does bottled to me.. The IPA is a lovely drop.. Might be my favorite IPA of anything, its that good not just 'good for a local' but properly good.. Dont know anywhere that has it all the time.. More a special event deal so far I think.. PM me if you know different. Also.. We should perhaps start a 'closed' facebook group.. As the red cup party's etc that are happening are hard to hear about (I am assuming theres a Thai language grapevine) and the local brewers are scared to publicly post.. If a few of us who like the new brewers join we can keep each other informed of any events we hear about without making them too public. I am told one red cup event failed as they posted about it and the BiB turned up as it was about to kick off, so the powers that be are aware of the scene and are not letting it slide fully.

The guy makes 40L batches in a lock-up. CMB, on the other hand, (from the pictures on their fb page), look to have some actual scale. Similar deal with Stonehead. Will be interesting to see what happens in 2016! Edited January 1, 2016 by keo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ambitions & family business aside, unless his current set up grows, he is unlikely to be able to supply the increasing demand. Hence you "don't know anywhere that has it all the time". Golden Coins looks to have a 350L set up on the way. Makin' it happen! Edited January 1, 2016 by keo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
