Thread: Archa beer.

As I am unable to get a can of guinness or a can of beer here in Cha-am, I don't mind drinking Archa.

Now, some of you have derided me for drinking the stuff, but I would like to point out to you 'naysayers'...

It won a Gold Medal in Australia!

No beer is sold in Thailand.

So did the Spanish paralympic basketball team.

Hey so did Chang.

Think it was a panel of Abo's that awarded that Gold Medal. Aussies will actually drink junkies' piss as long as its ice-cold. Fact.

You can win a gold medal at those awards based on just the packaging/marketing. You could piss in a bottle and still win one.

That is Chang Import....[award winner], whch is a drinkable brew.
Completely different beast than regular old Chang domestic, which many suspect is not beer. It's bad reputation is well deserved.

Archa, Chang's close low-rent cousin, is nasty stuff.

I would be embarrassed for anyone to tag any such award to this crap.

He might be thinking of his beloved Madagascar, where the only beer available is short of home brew or French inspired!

And you might be thinking of your beloved Baldrick

No the first was Chang export, I believed the stuff on Chang Import and it is so weak its not even beer. Have a bottle from months ago in my fridge I refuse to drink.

Awards

The Chang beer brand remarkably, within only four years became the number one selling beer brand in Thailand, achieving a market share of more than 50%. Today, Chang has an increasing presence throughout Asia and the rest of the world.
Hot off the success of winning two gold medals in 2008 at the USA World Beer Championships and Monde Selection in 2009, Chang has just been awarded another gold medal from the 2010 World Beers and Drinks Selection. In addition to these recent wins, Chang has also been awarded Australian International Beer Award medals, proving its international appeal.

Chang beer is brewed to perfectly compliment the taste of Asian cuisine.

There are some great beers sold in Thailand, all imported though.

^^ That says more about US & Aussie beer 'culture' than it does Chang.

^ very well said - could not have said it better!

Oh we use Archa as bathroom cleaner,hadn't realized people actually quaff it.

Beautiful. Just beautiful.

Oh jeez, the TD panel of beer experts again.

Anyone would think it was like a wine tasting.

Then again I can't drink 99% of UK brewed beer, regardless of brand. Luckily I have an eastern european shop near me...My definition of torture is having to be in a UK pub drinking draught fosters/carlsberg/stella all night with no choice. No wonder people want to fight eachother at closing times

Liked my bitters and milds etc in the UK, but in Thailand the best cold beer is Leo and ice, matter of fact I'm having one now. Jim

I thought it was a good medium between premium beers and the cheapo shit beers. I drank lots of it in Thailand.

But I also drank lots of SiamSato Just to prove that I could do it

It's a bit like Tennent's Super but with a less pleasant taste.






Well worth the extra 6 baht.

But is it worth 10 more Baht then this ? I actually drank around 8 bottles of this shit in my time.
