3.5% alcohol but with a great taste.
Good for a long drink.
No headaches yet!

Nonsense. Beer Chang was produced in conjunction with Carlsberg, until Chang reneged on parts of their contract. It's still vile though.

I wouldn't be surprised in a European has never set foot in the Boon Rawd Brewery, apart from the fact that Leo (also Boon Rawd) is a decent drop when compared with the rest.

You must be American, or worse still, an Aussie if you think that is real beer.

It tasted like plastic to me, but I think I'd had a Beer Lao beforehand.

Jayzus, I reckon I would be flat broke before drunk on that stuff.

Theres a German guy with a smoking hot looking flipper wife that works in the Boon Rawd brewery in Khon Kaen. He was brought here by them as he is one of these "master" brewers or whatever it is they call them.

it's still crap, same shit, different name, they all have that preservative thing apparently. Only the draft seems to be ok, but that's about it. Anything bottled here and you are drinking dangerous chemical. Knowing how Thais think, you know perfectly they don't care about customer satisfaction or the negative effects of such chemical.

I drank only Singha for years when in Thailand. Liked the taste, and considered the foul hang over as "natural". Few years ago I was convinced to have one night on Heineken only. For the first time in years after a night on the piss I didn't feel like total crap the next day. Never touched a drop of singha since. Nasty stuff.

Funny that, as the draught beer would need preserving more than the bottled to prolong the keg life after it's been tapped.

dreadful, Singha purely dreadful.
Can never get over the taste of this beer.
Tried it numerous times and still can't drink the stuff.
Yuck.

Lots of folks are allergic to Formaldehyde, Chinese also use it to tan leather, so if like an Ex wife did, you buy a nice long leather coat, hang it in a closet and every thing in there ends up stinking and making you sick you will know it is China made and get rid of it.

Perhaps, Chang and Carlsberg did have a relationship. But I find it hard to believe that the Carlsberg people would care to be associated with that rot gut. It is vile. Marms, some of us don't live in the big city where all foreign beers are available and the luxury of variety. We just have to choke down what we have.

Or you could just sip on the missus' wine cooler.

San Mig Light of course is not a low-alcohol beer...it's a low-calorie beer so you should be able to drink as much as you want without getting fat...or in MtDs case 'fatter'...

^ clean taste

A myth.

Exactly!

B'stard!

I thought San Miguel is a Philippino beer, also very popular in HK. I didn't realise it's got a following in Thailand too.

It is. They have brewery in Thailand. Rayong I think. Note San Miguel has all sorts of products sold in Thailand. Everything from water to fruit juice. I believe Red Horse and Blue Ice are San Miguel products.

But what about this

OMG one would expect better from you BG...one of THE greatest urban myths ever to come out of Thailand...

formaldehyde

That klongy guy ain't came up and said nothing about anyone else being full of shit on the formaldehyde thing, no apologies or nothing. smart asshole...

Damn and that did not come out of Thailand, because we drank a lot of formaldehyde in Viet Nam beer in the 60s.

Don't know if San mig are doing this anywhere else in Thailand but in Phuket if the bar buy's 10 case's of San Mig light they provide a a Thai/Philippino band and 4 mini skirted cute promotion girls.
So i have been drinking quite a lot of San Mig lately.
Beer lao is my beer of choice but can not get it a lot of bars here
Does Singha give anyone else a really sore throat.
