Lite Beer Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Briggsy Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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) Edited December 31, 2016 by robblok Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

impulse Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited December 31, 2016 by impulse Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ron19 Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 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.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.

dbrenn Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 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.

Lite Beer Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 (edited) 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. Edited December 31, 2016 by Lite Beer Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mogandave Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 I think the Leo fans may be more the "bang-for-baht" guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.

Dmaxdan Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 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.Sent from my iPad using Thaivisa Connect Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
55Jay Posted December 31, 2016 Share Posted December 31, 2016 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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.
