We've had reviews of the expensive Belgian beers and imported lagers the highflyers a cut above the rest of us like to indulge in, it is well known that wine in Thailand is either shite or too expensive, and most folks are aware of the differences between a Laphroaig and a Glenlivet.
So let's have a look at the basic day-to-day tipple which keeps the smart TEFLer going between the first and last of the month:
Archa beer: cheap and cheerful, 27bt a bottle, good value at 5.4% alc.
Serve chilled, add ice to taste. The head, colour and scent are reminiscent of German lager, and the hoppy flavour confirms the first impression. Leaves a pleasant, slightly bitter aftertaste which encourages to take another sip.
