Guinness

[HansBlinkers]

Where can I get Guinness in cans? Thanks

[anto]

Mae Sai ,over on the Burmese side .

Not in Chiang Mai that I know of. It used to be available before the draught Guinness arrived, but disappeared completely a year or two later.

Years ago there used to be a bottled Guinness, brewed locally.

That's all fake crap from China, including Jack Daniels.

Good luck finding as so-called widget cans of Guinness/Boddingtons',etc. are supposedly now "illegal".

The Pub, across from Maya Mall, has Guinness Foreign Export in cans.

Suggest you try the big liter cans of Kaiserdom beer, imported from Germany. I like the dark Monkey beer in the red can. At Tops, Rimping 195 baht per liter.

Australian Coopers Stout is an alternative ,sold in Rimping in small bottles .

The Guinness was real. Export Guinness from Malaysia.

The ABC(?) Burmese Stout was good, too.

I don't think so.....how do I know? I have bought JD from there and Tesco's to compare a few years ago and I can assure you they are not legit!

So bad I thought it was a Chinese copy of a real beer.

Their expensive American liquors are fake. 'Jack Daniels' still in the bottle with the old, non-holographic label.

Whenever this subject of fake booze at Mae Sai has come up in this forum, JD is always mentioned. I've never had problems with beers & wines from the duty free shop on the bridge, Other members vouch for the Scotch & single malts.

The Wines from the duty free shop are genuine, excellent and less than half the price you pay in Rimping, for example. I ve had lots of wines from many Countries, all perfectly legitimate, no way they re copies because I love good wine and would know immediately if it wasnt genuine. Sorry if that sounds a bit clever, but before someone comes back and says I m wrong, I m getting my retaliation in first!

I ve also had Bombay Sapphire Gin, genuine, Gordons gin, genuine, Various Vodkas, genuine, and friends of mine have had Jack Daniels from there, genuine ( I dont drink whisky/ bourbon etc at all).

I can only speak as I find. Everything drinkwise from the duty free shop on the bridge has been genuine, 100%.

Go and buy any of those, then go to Tesco's and buy the same brand....then do a taste comparison side by side.....you will be enlightened!

A good indicator is the label...a real bottle has an embossed almost aluminium label, the copies have flat paper labels.

Here we go. Right on cue. "You know better than me".....yes, of course you do. I dont know anything about Gin, Vodka etc.....heres the surprise, YES I DO, and the wines and spirits I ve had from the duty free shop are and have been perfectly legit and genuine. As are the wines of which I ve had many, all genuine, no doubt.

[sharktooth]

Well, that escalated quickly...

Remember that old song, "you say tomato, I ll say tomarto, potato, potarto,".....well, this is a bit like that. I m more than happy with all my alcohol purchases from the duty free shop on the bridge at Mae Sai. Thats all, over and out !!!!!

I think the OP got 2 maybe 3 replies of where to get Guinness in cans, then again the topic went off the rails

and again 2 members got into a slanging match of who is right and who is wrong.I suggest they hold a

tasting competition,and invite everyone. they buy the booze

Theres no slanging match here. Theres a few posters correcting the one person who said that the booze from the duty free shop at Mae Sai is fake, which it isnt. We are merely providing accurate information for the benefit of other posters on here. OK?
