augustwest Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Been drinking Red Lion made by San Miguel,6% and a nice taste. You have to look for it tho because label is in Thai. 49b a great deal so check it outSorry it is red horse. My brews of choice in the states was Sierra Nevada Moosehead IPA, and Dog Fish Head 60 minute IPA. But we are in Thailand and I sure miss a good IPA. Any suggestions,price no object.

facthailand Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 The only Thai beer to miss is Kloster. All beers here take the same: inspid, no character. Except for the colonel's on Koh Kret, of course. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Thai beer is a light, refreshing drink, best served with ice, with the bonus effect of getting you pissed. That doesn't mean it's bad, just that it's different to beers from some other places. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

soc Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Where can buy a good beer in Thailand good ol VB from Australia now thats a real mans beer VB is good but l always preferred Fosters. Also liked Swan Draught & in latter years Fourex Gold. Tasmania also produces some good beers. We do/did have some horrors though! Who ever remembers KB Lager or Resch's Bitter. l would rather had NOT drunk/drank than drink those two revolting brews.! Back in the 70s l remember the joy of finding a pub in London that sold Swan Lager. From then on, l was one of their best customers until l left the UK.

NoshowJones Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 "Is there a way to escape these beer relentless headaches"? For all those who drink pint after pint every day, I emphasis "every", you deserve all you get, and I have absolutely no sympathy for you. A person showing the signs of alcohol changing their mood, will never be welcome in my company. What is so hard about limiting your alcohol, and having a couple of drink free days in a week? I love cakes, biscuits and ice cream, but I take it in moderation as I don't want to get fat like all my Farang friends, with the very odd exception. Why can't beer drinkers do the same?

Oceanbat Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Am over the local swill so each month (payday) I buy a few boxes from wish beer. Typically only buy IPA's though. This month I bought BrewDog - Jackhammer, 8 Wired - Super Conductor, To Ol - Insane In The Grain and Stone Brewing - Ruination Double. All very nice beers. I like the brewdog IPA OB Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I even got a sudden urge to open a cold one right now as deterrent. What do you mean it keeps people like me away? If the people drink socially, and it does not affect their moods then they have no problem. I get invitation to get togethers with local Farangs all the time, many of whom have been friends for many years, none of them seem to want to keep me away, but then, none of them are drunks.

soc Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 Off on a tangent, l found a US beer called Coors to be extremely drinkable. To me, some of their other beers were so-so, but l definitely liked Coors. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wilsonandson Posted June 19, 2016 Share Posted June 19, 2016 I rarely buy my beer in the 7/11. It's asking for trouble. The neighbourhood gossip is bound to be in there too. I opt for the local mom and pop shop like everyone else. There you are guaranteed discretion, no questions asked. Go to the 7/11 and que up with a 4 pack of beers, it better be the weekend cause on a working day you don't half attract attention. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MAZ3 Posted June 20, 2016 Share Posted June 20, 2016 (edited) The only beer l could drink was Chang Draught (not classic) then they stopped making it . Fortunately Archa seemed to have changed their recipe and it is now drinkable.. My favorite drink at home(UK)is Guinness or a nice real Ale,that's probably why my normal beer here is Singha.Or if I have to put ice in it,Archa,without ice its got a strange aftertaste. But as my friend says,no such thing as a bad beer,some are just better than others!. ;-) Edited June 20, 2016 by MAZ3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
