Thread: Thai beer and additives - The myth/reality?

they almost all seem to have animal names, maybe some sort of piss take

I just stick to Scotch whisky and Heinekin. - no problems unless I overdo it.

Thanks Andy, you are quite right, I didn't know that before.

Back in the UK I used to drink 8 pints of Guiness everyday and 13 pints on a good session put here I just cannot take the beer.

What is it, the heat or old age creeping up on me ?

dunno, but 5 pints of ale was my limit

here it is 4 Singhas, or a bottle of red

must be old age then

Dont think its due to old age. Perhaps its the heat, but the heat makes me crave beer more.

Well as Marmers said hang overs are generally 'cos of dehydration.....so the heat probably does factor into it (I miss the cold brisk wake you up mornings in the UK).

yes definitely the nick - although I think the lights I was refering to are a little further down the road (towards airport) , part of a night time golf course maybe.

How often a problem - not too often these days really - maybe once a month.

And Marmite - a couple of cans of Special Brew - I didn't mean exactly 2 , more like 2-4 (it's 9% by the way if you're not familiar with the old loony juice)

It is a major bummer when you walk out of your bedroom at 6:30am and its hot as fcuk. Cloudy used to mean cool and foggy where I come from, roll over and another few hours of zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

Leo is probably the best beer in Thailand, but it isn't exactly good. That is why I prefer to buy real scotch. Singh and Chang give me hangovers. I still don't trust the Thai brewing process.

One of my students brought me four tinnies of Beer Lao back from a holiday, and it was very palatable.

Well, if you're up for a Guinness session, drop me a line.

Might be wrong, but that's what they say.

Might be wrong? Bullshit I say because both beers are sold in Germany.
