Nightcrawler Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 I often enjoy a glass or two of Hoegaarden wheat beer in UK, but I have never come across it in Thailand and imagined that it would be quite expensive. I wonder if any bars stock it ?. I have never actively looked for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Horizondave Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Remember having a large Steiner of Hoegaarden in the Huntsman Pub at the Landmark in Bangkok. I believe the pub has now been closed for a while. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if any bars stock it ?. I have never actively looked for it. I was stuck at a fogbound T1 at Heathrow in 1998 waiting for a flight to Brussels & when I had fought my way to the front of the bar there was a Hoegaarden pump,so I said I'll have a pint of that please.I think she said it's £5 a pint so I said straight away I'll have a half.That was a lot in 98. In Bruges some years later right outside our hotel we found a bar called Hoegaarden,so I said to the missus we'll have a nightcap here on the way back.I asked the barmaid what time they closed. Close? she said,we do not close😃. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lemondropkid Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Is it just me who hasn't figured out what venue these beers are on sale at? Was never very good at these "Where was I today?" quizzes recently🙃 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have vague memories of it closing down....Something to do with a new structure that blocked the outside seating area..... or maybe something to do with the toilets...or whatever the political situation was at the time ... ...or maybe it was just a dream....

lazarus Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 (edited) I have a few bottles in on the basement runway waiting for a social occasion. Costco (here in the US) is a good source for imported beer at ridiculously low prices. The Duvels were about $2.50us/btl. -- about 87baht. . . .

Binlid Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 First visit to Mai Thai going back about 7/8 years ago now, I supped a couple bottles of Kwak at 8.4%, a bottle of La Corne at 10% and a bottle of raspberry beer which I can`t remember the name off, I was slightly mellow meandering down Naklua road after that meal. 3 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bazle Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Patrick's Steak House usually has a good selection of Belgian beers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aqualung Posted March 1, 2023 Share Posted March 1, 2023 Duvel was once voted the world's best beer. Its lovely but I always preferred Chimay Red or Chimay Blue. Maybe JL knows but there used to be a great place in Leeds called Beer Paradise. On Immigration Road Iirc. Me and a few mates would drive over from Lancashire to stock up our Belgian beer supply.

I think it was 269 baht, but the size of the mug was huge, only had one. But it was maybe the single best beer over the 3 weeks I was over there this past Dec-Jan. 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
