The Pintsman Bar, Silom.

Except the vast majority of Thai office workers are on pretty small salaries and aren't the type to spend half their daily take home pay on one small bottle of beer

From what I can gather a smaller community of office working Thais in that area will frequent the bar as they did at the Roadhouse spending considerable amounts of money.

Anyway, most Thais I know will get pissed on one bottle of that 10% proof Belgium beer which will make it a cheap night out.

240b for a beer?

Imported beer is expensive to buy. I've kept the prices down as much as possible.

Can I bring my own bottles of Archa??

Nope.

I'll have a couple of local beers available.

I was only pulling yer leg. If I'm out in Bangkok I expect to pay London prices for booze.

I expect to pay London prices for booze.

and more for the imports. I can't remember how much I sold Old English and Strongbow for in my place - but it was in the realms of 200 plus baht a can.

[alwarner]

Yeah I've a feeling it was 175. 10 years ago mind.

If someone gives you a bottle back, saying it tastes off, will you replace it too ?

I can confirm the answer is a big fat YES.

Last year Sunsetter and I were down one of the pubs that TFP was running and we ordered 2 pints of Kilkenny at about 220+ baht a pint.
Both pints didn't taste right for some reason and I personally sent them back. I asked the manager behind the bar to taste the pints just to confirm and he happily swapped them to Boddingtons by taking my word for it.
That pub has had my custom ever since.
The past year I have (with mates) dropped around 35grand there on 2 nights alone (Birthday celebration and Xmas dinner this year).
Good service will give you repeat customers.

Nice endorsement Maybe TFP can afford a TD banner ad.

[dirtydog]

^He has a banner ad, just that he seems to have hidden it away for the time being

I didn't name the pub, nor do I know TFP personally. Sunsetter told me who was running it at the time.
Must admit, it was a nice plug for him thinking about it. Will try and squeeze a free pint when in the Silom area.

[Marmite the Dog]

I had a similar experience with a former English manager of the Robin Hood. The only difference was that I had to argue with him before he would do his job and confirm that what I had in my glass was the dregs from the bottom of the Guinness keg.

Didn't I, Mr Orange (Brown... whatever)?

[Butterfly]

so what about those discount for TD members ?

[The Fresh Prince]

Anyhow, the question is, How long is the shelf life on these beers ?

It varies, they are all between 6 months and 1 1/2 years. That's the good thing about most of these beers is that they have a second fermentation in the bottle. A lot of them have sediment in them and need to be 'Rolled' before they are poured (see the Coopers ad campaign)

I have a 'beer sell by date calender' that I have set up, and on each delivery the details get entered in, and the program emails me 1 month before the beer is about to expire. That way I can't forget and can stick it on special to get it out in time.

If someone gives you a bottle back, saying it tastes off, will you replace it too ?

Of course. There is always a chance that the brewery fucked up.

[sabaii sabaii]

^ Cool,


what time you opening tomorrow ?

[The Fresh Prince]

I can confirm the answer is a big fat YES.

Nice endorsement

Did you want that tenner in Baht or Pounds Bogan?

so what about those discount for TD members ?

Happy to buy you a beer anytime Butters just don't take it the wrong way sailor.

[The Fresh Prince]

what time you opening tomorrow ?

I'll be there from mid afternoon until very late. Gotta go and buy the outdoor furniture and some more tv's in the morning.

Drop me pm if your coming by.

[Little Chuchok]

What do the bar staff look like?

[The Fresh Prince]

I never really look at guys in that way but the waitresses are very cute.

[The Fresh Prince]

From another thread.

Would you buy a small bottle of beer for 240 baht ?

Don't forget that some of them are 2-3 times stronger than your average beer. The first beer I gave to StrongArm the other night was 12% so that would get you more than doubly pissed than a crap beer.

Betty Boo was in last night too and almost drank the bar dry tasting close to all the beers. That explains why he has been quiet today.

[Gerbil]

That explains why he has been quiet today.

Good. I hope he becomes a regular.

[The Fresh Prince]

Handbags ladies!

[Little Chuchok]

Do you sell fruit based beverages as well?
