Mooner Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Best Thai beer is the new Cheers Riceberry. Best beer available in 7 is obviously Beer Lao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CLW Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 My favourite was Chang Export before it disappeared. Now Cheers Riceberry and Federbräu. Federbräu comes very close to good German beer. For the major brands available I prefer Leo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SoiBiker Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 If you're finding the hangovers are worse these days, it's probably because you're more dehydrated due to the hotter climate here, or you're just plain older than you were when you got drunk back home. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MissAndry Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 They're all crap, but out of the major brands I've chosen Tiger, closest to palatable. I'm thinking of starting to brew my own. I agree with you, Tiger is the least disgusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ALLSEEINGEYE Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Hacklberg Jakobi Hell (Wheat beer) is starting to show up at many bars in the Sukhumvit area. Apparently Thailand is the only country outside of Germany that has this currently distributed. It is an amazing beer. If you get a chance to try it, do so. Hopefully we will see it at many more locations around Thailand soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

White Christmas13 Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Have heard rumours of Formaldehyde being used as a strilising/preservative agent in beers in Thailand. The other day I was talking with a Norwegian friend who is in the contamination clear up industry here in Thailand, who confirmed to me that formaldehyde is indeed used in the brewing process in Thailand for the purposes mentioned above, as he often works with the beer companies in supplying a clean up bacterial product to the brewing companies. You have not answered the question which <deleted> should we drink ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
soc Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 All this talk of beer nearly made me want to take up drinking again! l did say nearly! When l used to imbibe l preferred either Heineken or Tiger. l liked Chang initially but then found it too sweet. Did they change the recipe or did my tastes change? Me not know. Singha was a bit too bitter, Beerlao an excellent light lager, but l didn't like Leo at all. Just my two bob's worth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bredbury Blue Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I was buying beer lao from 7/11 when available or leo when not; haven't seen beer lao in 7/11 for a while. Don't enjoy Singh or Chang. In a pub I might drink Tiger. Back in the day, when the choices were Kloster, Singh and Singh Gold I drank the latter. What ever happened to Singh Gold?

DrTuner Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 l liked Chang initially but then found it too sweet. Did they change the recipe or did my tastes change? Me not know. They change the recipes here every decade or so, even provinces seems to have differences. About five years ago the Chang Export near Khon Kaen was alright, then suddenly the supply completely stopped and next thing you knew it was virtually impossible to distinguish it from Chang Classic. Anybody remember Pattaya Beer? I was their first retail customer (literally, I was there when the first batch from Laos came to the owner near the Lotus next to Numchai and even went to their launch event later at Cape Dara) and tasted my way through their effort from Beer Savan to what regrettably turned into a Heineken copy down the road. What a pity, the first batches were quite good. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Balance Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 I was drinking Singh when I first came mostly because it was what I drank at Thai restaurants in the U.S. Then, about 3 years ago my wife and I were having lunch in a small Lana place in CM and for the hell of it I asked if they had a dark beer. To my utter surprise, the young server produced Beer Lao Dam and I was further amazed as it was as good as some of the better German Dunkels. Alas, like all good things it is now very difficult to find so I stopped drinking. Chilled filtered water with a little lime is actually a very nice drink.

siamcrut Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 Started with Beer Chang when I came here14 years ago and stopped with a Beer Chang. Now most of the time ice-cold soda with a slice manao. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyFrenU Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 "Everyone has missed the Elephant in the room and I don't mean Chang. Singh Light. This is a low, relatively, alcohol beer. Due to vario0us medical conditions, Dr's. recommended me to cut down on my beer drinking, 1 even went as far as suggesting that I stick to Singha Light, saying it would be better for me. So many years ago I switched to it. I found that I no longer had thick heads in the mornings, I could jump out of bed easily even after a big night. I have found that I can easily drink 12 bottles of it with zero ill effects. A major plus is that even after 12 I am not drunk, yes I get the buzz so I have a good night but none of the issues normally associated. Its the biggest selling beer in the Pattaya area, unfortunately in other parts of Thailand it can be hard to get." I think I may have found the cause of your problems!

From reading this thread it would appear all the tramp juice disgusting crap seems popular. Good gawd, Cheers Extra, Red Horse, surprised no one as mentioned Archa. I ask myself why are none of these Tramp Juice beers ever sold in bars or hotels? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MyFrenU Posted June 18, 2016 Share Posted June 18, 2016 (edited) It's obviously called something else in Thai as that label doesn't read "Maa Daeng" to me!Oh just looked again and it's a direct transliteration reading something like "Red Ools"(Or Ang,Or Ang,Lor Ling,Sor Sua)!
