boydeste Posted December 30, 2023 Share Posted December 30, 2023 1 hour ago, Toy Boy said: There's been a lot of fuss lately about Thai craft beer, and the possibility that the law may be changed to allow the small but successful brewers to expand. I'm not sure where that idea ended up, but anything that improves the quality of the mass-produced dishwater sold as beer here would be welcome. Boon Rawd and Thai Bev are both guilty of having produced a lot of what they no doubt consider to be craft beers in recent years, but these are all chemically-inspired crap IMHO, with the possible exception of Tapper. Then there's the Red Bull craft beers, or at least that's what some people call them, but I haven't seen them in the shops here yet, or maybe I just haven't noticed them. Anyway, I was in Villa and noticed that they had large cans of Brauhaus beers from Nonthaburi Brewery, supposedly one of the leading Thai craft brewers, so I thought I'd give it a go, even though they're ridiculously expensive for a locally-brewed beer at around 150 Baht a can. Had a choice of these on draught in HH, not sure where they are brewed, but the Fat Cat was nice. Very expensive though! 1 1 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Horizondave Posted January 1 Popular Post Share Posted January 1 Haven't really drunk much over Christmas and New Year as I still have 3 beers out of the 10 I had. My favourite 4 beers are as below; the first, I have just opened. Lovely The Nut Brown is a stunning tasting beer, will be buying more from the Felin Foel brewery soon. 4 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Butch Posted January 3 Share Posted January 3 (edited) I've been given a bottle of Jack Daniels Single Barrel Select for Xmas. Can't say I've tried it, can anyone suggest if it is best served neat, on the rocks or with a mixer?. Edited January 3 by Butch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Can't say I've tried it, can anyone suggest if it is best served neat, on the rocks or with a mixer?. For me, I generally drink spirits neat with a single ice cube. As well as cooling the drink the little addition of water often softens the taste, especially with whisky. Jack Daniels I just drink neat. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
