Ron19 Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 I noticed this morning at Tesco Lotus Uttaradit that the 630ml Singha is back on the shelves. That didn't take them long to backtrack.It is not old stock as it has a production date of middle December last year which is the same date as the 500ml along side it. Please excuse the colour, I had to play around with it to be able to read the price. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KhunBENQ Posted February 2, 2016 Share Posted February 2, 2016 (edited) There was another poster quicker than you (Oct 15). http://www.thaivisa.com/forum/topic/864119-singha-630ml-bottles/ And even after his thread it took me more than two weeks to find the first carton in Khon Kaen. In the meantime it seems to be about everywhere (ay least at our local Makro). Edited February 2, 2016 by KhunBENQ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Issanman Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 I get it at 7-11 for 60฿ each. They are the only ones in my town that have the 630ml bottles. Makro at Nakhon Phanom has it, but none of the local mini-marts in my town stock it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saakura Posted February 3, 2016 Share Posted February 3, 2016 What was the idea? Did they think that anyone used to drinking a 630ml bottle would buy two 500ml bottles without switching to other brands? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Issanman Posted February 4, 2016 Share Posted February 4, 2016 This morning I saw that our local small-town Tesco now has the 630ml bottles of Singha for 59฿. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wooloomooloo Posted May 4, 2016 Share Posted May 4, 2016 Great news. I do miss the 630ml bottles. And I particularly didn't enjoy paying the same for a smaller bottle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RichardinHuaHin Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 This is old news. It was brought back last year before December. I switched to Chang when they did their sneaky switch downsizing and raising the price as well. Guess they lost too much revenue. I started buying it by the case since late last year as Chang gives me a headache. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hkt83100 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Since Singha is a pain in the XXX throat/head anyway, it does not affect me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Singhaman Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Here in Lampang the 630ml bottles never left! I regularly stock up with them from Big C (which has the 500ml bottles alongside). My local 7-11 had them in on occasions too usually in a 2 bottle shrink wrap. I think here only Tesco and the restaurants started stocking the 500ml bottles instead but charging the same price as the larger bottle. Fortunately, for me, my 'local' has always stocked the larger bottles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpeakeasyThai Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I will stick with Chang... Can't do the Changovers. They are truly deadly and seem to last at least to mid afternoons unlike Leo that is all usaully done and dusted after a good fry up next morning.

alanrchase Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Anyone know if the alcohol content has gone back up to where it used to be too? Are you confusing Singha with Chang? Time to dry out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bazza40 Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Sorry to disappoint posters; however, beer is not wine and does not improve with age. If it's older than three months, it's lost most of its flavour components.So beer produced in December and on sale in May isn't anything to get excited about, unless you prefer quantity over quality.

williamgeorgeallen Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 I will stick with Chang... I don't mind it but the alcohol content plays havoc with me next morning. sweet. i had to switch to leo to get the big bottles. will be nice to go back to singha. no way i would go to chang, think it is called chang as it feels like you had an elephant stand on your head the day after drinking it.

Wilsonandson Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) Chang is 5.5% alc.Vol. It used to be 6.4% alc.Vol The old stuff was great. The new stuff is pee. Try Cheers beer 6% alc.Vol Singha is ok but not strong enough. Strong larger is what Thailand needs. A Carsberg Special Brew equivalent would be awesome!

EvilDrSomkid Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Our local supplier in the soi has had it all along, but he charges 680 per box. Have not seen it yet at our local Tesco. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Puccini Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 The can of 630 ml is not on the Boonrawd website. It's not a fake, by any chance? https://www.boonrawd.co.th/singha-corporation/en/singha-beer-alcohol-products-singha-beer.php Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
anto Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 (edited) ^Its a bottle not a can .Have never seen a can of any drink with 630 ml. I like the Chang Classic at 5.5% in the green bottle .It seems more consistent in Alcohol level than the old Chang .(Chang export was good though ) .

Freakin Musashi Posted May 5, 2016 Share Posted May 5, 2016 Anyone know if the alcohol content has gone back up to where it used to be too? My question too. I recall at one time it was like what we call in the states, "malt liquor". Ye gods, it had a kick. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
