Anyway, enough name-dropping, has anyone tried the espresso flavoured Chang that's readily available here in Thailand? 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Choclate OP was one-off colllaboration between the 2 brewers- it was wonderful. Look forward to a coffee Chang come autumn. Perfect for the early morning drinker😀 Edited July 26, 2023 by Lemondropkid 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will give it a go though as the Chocolate style porters are nice. I'd agree the majority of flavoured beers I find are a letdown. Most brewers for me have a core set of beers or even a single beer in some cases that they do fantastically well. Once they veer off their core compentence, results can be very mixed. It's great that small brewers do experiment and create different products but they tend to be overdone. One golden exception is Brass Castle Brewery near me, pretty much everything they do is excellent. If you see one buy it!!

This is the patch on one sleeve: It was located on Walking right by the alleyway going to Happy-a-Gogo. An Australian owned bar originally, it probably had the most interesting toilet art in the whole city. Here's the Stoney's logo: Does anyone else remember it, it was sold in about 2006 or 2007 and since then the building has had a dozen makeovers, I've no idea what it is nowadays.

It did seem a bit scary at first, but what a difference a few days have made. I am sure all the local people in the tourist and supporting businesses are pleased that some visitors have stayed on and they can now look forward to the return of normality.

Yes people coming back but high season screwed. Still only 14 people around my pool and snack bar at 1120. I am moving hotel on Wednesday for last 5 nights, as my place is meant to have a wedding party taking up all rooms in hotel. That has now been cancelled. I am moving to a hotel where I have paid already Euro 600. That hotel price has since dropped to Euro 322 for same room. May have a word but can't imagine they offer a discount now once paid. Just the rub really. Would have preferred not to move, never mind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
