boydeste Posted February 17 Share Posted February 17 Nice to find that after a few pints of real ale yesterday afternoon, then opening a 1.5 litre bottle of superb Red, I fell asleep in the chair without making too much of a dent in it. Will be having another go tonight. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Toy Boy Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 (edited) I've been wanting to try the Carabao beers for a while, but my usual sources of booze - Makro, Friendship and Villa - don't seem to stock it. I was in Lotus last week and noticed that they had some so I bought a couple of large bottles, one the lager and the other the dunkel. The price was very reasonable, I think 62 or 64 Baht per bottle, and I wasn't expecting much but I was pleasantly surprised. The lager is an easy drink, smooth with a pleasant taste. I'd certainly sooner drink that than Chang or Singha, anyway. It's at least as good as any other Thai lager-style beer I've tried, anyway. And then the more interesting one was the dunkel. Again, an easy drink with a nice, gentle toasty flavour. My only criticism was that the head disappears far too quickly once it's been poured, but I've noticed that with a number of the dark lagers. For 64 Baht you can't go wrong, anyway, if you like a dunkel. It's not going to win any prizes against the German dunkels, but it's less than half the price of those and I think most of us can forgive that for a saving of between 70 and 100 Baht a bottle. (To be totally fair, the German beers tend to be in half-litre bottles, whereas the Carabao bottles are 620 ml, so the price difference isn't quite a much as that.)

Just the one though, pretty strong at 6.5%, lovely though. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Horizondave Posted February 19 Share Posted February 19 Waiting for the wife, who is about to arrive in Wetherspoon from her work. She wants Coors, I have Jemima's Pitchfork. Paler than my normal choice, but a great session beer. The Welsh don't go out on Mondays so pretty empty in here. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
