Have you seen the "revamped" Beer Chang beer and the bottle labels?

It's all in English, now the locals can't even understand what their favourite beer is...

If you showed them the bottle today, (Chang Classic) they wouldn't know if it was shit or sugar!

It's billed as a PREMIUM LAGER...I thought Lager was aged a bit, the bottles I have have barely aged a week.

Are they aiming at the international market? Touting some brewers award they won 10 years ago?

Do they REALLY think they can sell a 6.4% Alc Beer in the Uk?

Can you imagine the UK city cenrtres after everyone has had a skinful of Chang? and the Uk economy on a Monday morning....it's suicide!

Don Juan

Aside from the Everton strip, I've never see Chang anywhere in the UK.

Not a chance.

DrAndy

Chang beer is sold all over the UK

It is only 5% though, I have two empty bottles here now

Missismiggins

Well, from the change of labels and the boxes....Britain Beware! The police are going to need riot gear on a weekend if they start selling that in the UK!

Butterfly

who drink Thai beers ? unless you don't mind waking up with a big headache

Missismiggins

Who drinks piss like "Heineken" here...or San Miguel? Here??? No thanks, it's the devils piss wherever you buy it!

imagine the exotic influence of Chang to the Brits....6 bottles on a Friday night......

madjbs

Yes it is, but not in the bottles.

BillyBobThai

As someone who does not drink beer, what would the alcohol content be in a beer in the UK?

DrAndy

see above

usually 4.5 or 5%

kfjvkjvk

Butterfly only drinks Scampy subsidised Erdinger.

Missismiggins

It varies, from 2% for the worst urine possible, (The Federation brewery used to produce a drink called ACE lager...) it rises to atound 3.4% for the average urine available like a standard brew, it then increases to about 5% for an imported or brewed under license drinkable beer, loke a Stella, or that ilk, Mc Ewans lager used to be about 3.5%, more likely to die of vommitting than alcohol poisoning, Newcastle Brown ale was 4.7%...so you see, the UK is not ready for 6.4% Chang. They will become extremely violent, once primed with something of that nature...they already struggle to behave with the 5% crap, like MACLA

Missismiggins

and the beer here doesn't even get a chance to age FULL STOP! Neither at the brewery or in the bottle. How on earth can they describe CHANG as a LAGER!!! never in a million years.

Mr Brown

Chang would not sell in the UK market at 6.4 %. I reckon the taxman would have quite a large chunk.

Alot of the Uk's stronger brewers have reduced the strength of their brands because of tax.

I'm still left wondering why Singha in Thailand was reduced from 6% to 5%

Mr Brown

Miggins, what a load of shite; prat.

Also you are forgetting a very competitive market regarding real ales

EmperorTud

I've got Cheap Trick Live at the Budokan.

madjbs

How do you know that?

Missismiggins

Please tell me what "shite" you refer to, and as for a "competitive market for real ales," Like where students try to get the price down to less than the manufacturing costs? where on earth is that market? at the fucking "Student Union?" only complete cunts like them drink that SHIT! "I say nigel, isn't this Theakstons Fat Cock really delicious?"

"Indeed Jeremy, it's lack of head and warm taste do it immense favours...tally ho!" Oh by the way isn't that Roger over their vomitting into the punch?

Oh yes, he must have supped on something with a bit of gas left in it, disgusting! Try a sip of my OLD FAT BOYS PRICK, it's as warm as toast, flat as a fart, but brewed here on the premesis in a "micro brewery" by dwarves with no cocks, delicious, and we got them down to tuppence a pint!

Missismiggins

I know someone that works for Chang, and no, he doesn't clean the bottles!

Missismiggins

Because I Know someone who is not a bottle washer that works for Thai Bev!
