I like the leo in big bottle on another note does anybody know where can buy homebrew in thailand online or shop.

Cheers big ears

If you are asking about Thai beer the standard is so low that being top of the list is nothing to be proud of.

Go for Beer Laos if you can afford it.

Tiger.

 

Beer Lao Dark (but not too many).

 

But really as Lite Beer pointed out, the choice is pretty poor. The Big 2 (or 3 if you count TAPB) keep the market tightly sewn up.

Yes, all other beers are crazy expensive.. I like Hoegaarden once in a while (rare that I drink but when I do i like quality). But the price for one bottle of 750ml is around 320bt or so (can't really recall as it is rare that i buy it). The price of that beer is below 200bt in the Netherlands (still not a cheap beer but its good there are cheaper versions in smaller bottles that have a lower price per liter too in the Netherlands)

sam miguel is good with a bit of lime just like corona. You can buy it here in thai but phillipino made i think

It's been almost 30 years for me, but I recall the best beer was free beer.

 

Beyond that, everything else is snobbery.  Just like coffee.  It's a delivery system for the active ingredient.

I am not so sure about that there are people who absolutely love beer, personally I don't really enjoy the taste (only occasionally do I like it). But to say that taste is not different and that all coffee is the same.. that is what I would call snobbery.

I wanted to try it but cannot find anywhere in my area Uttaradit where you can buy it by the carton let alone single bottle. Can do a 200km round trip to Makro in Phitsanulok who stock it by the carton but at 1400 a carton I quickly lost my desire to try it.

Makro and Tops stock Beer Lao round here.

1,200 Baht for a box of 24. Blond
The dark beer is a little more.

Some 7-11s are stocking single Beer Lao, might be worth a check in your area.

They are also stocking small bottles of Hoegarden and big cans of Kaiserdom in my area.

Thai beer sucks

Beer lao,

Myanmar Beer

Tsingtao

XX

and the list goes on

First i like all whitebeers, (Paulaner, Erdinger, Hoegaarden).

 

Second San Miguel Light.

 

third, i prefer plain water, thai beer sucks and gives headaches.

Molson Golden

 

All Thai beer is cat's piss. Laos, Myanmar and Cambodian beer is far better and beers available from farther afield, such as Hoegaarden, Kilkenny and London Pride are better still.

Stout    draught Guinness. 

I liked the Amarit brand when it was out...

Tiger.

Beer Lao. Unfortunately not available in most bars.

 

I'm with the OP; a big Leo is way ahead of all other Thai beer. 

In my opinion Leo is about the worst in a very poor list.

A lot of the small places where I live only have Leo.

I either drink nothing or take my own.

I think the Leo fans may be more the "bang-for-baht" guys.

To be clear, nothing wrong with bang-for-baht when you just want to get there...

 I used to be a bit like that. When asked how much I used to drink the answer was always 'any given amount'.

 

Agree with the snobbery statement as well but there were some delivery systems that even I would shy away from.

For 320 a fifth, it ought to come with someone to drink it for you....

Old Speckled Hen

 

Greene King IPA

 

Both available in fine Pattaya hostelries and supermarkets

The kaiserdom beers, sold pretty much everywhere make, in my opinion a nice change from the regular Thai beers. And at 195 baht for a one litre can, reasonable value.

I was a wine slurper but for beer, coming out of the GCC, my usual was Heineken, preferably draft "Ice", or Amstel.  Stayed with Heineken after moving here then worked through Singha, Tiger, San Mig Light until hitting (near) rock bottom with Leo.  I enjoy other things, Johnny Black, G&Ts, but for beer swilling with the lads -  Leo.

You think wrong. I know I find Leo less gassy and it has more taste than other Thai beers. I loved real ale in the UK and wouldn't drink anything else there. Here real ale is not so readily available but I will treat myself now and again. All in all the real ale I have had in LOS is a bit too heavy for the climate, but nice all the same. Leo is in almost all bars and minimarts.

So when you "treat yourself" you go with a "real ale" but when you need a little more bang for the baht you go for the Leo. 

 

You're right, my bad.

Deschutes "Fresh Squeezed IPA" is rather tasty.
