The only other one like that is the Cheers Riceberry beer that is very similar to an Irish red ale. Little fizz, no chemicals, nice smooth ale-esque taste.



We want dancers! We want dancers!

What are these rather vaguely named 'chemicals' you maintain are in other beers, and how do you know they're not in the ones you drink?

^ Oh, I wouldn't bother going into such little details, just take my facts with a nice swig of Prima Facie. :-)

So, as suspected, you're talking bollocks.

Thanks for the clarification.

Wouldn't surprise me if formaldehyde was one of them

Drink a few Singha, Leo, or *shudder* Chang, then some proper beers and say that the Thai shite isn't full of chemical crap.


Maybe those that drink the shit everyday have become conditioned and immune to it.

The three you mention certainly do taste like crap, but it could be down to a number of reasons.

I seriously doubt that Riceberry or Patum Tani San Mig are notably different.

If I lived in Thailand I am sure I would be drinking imported beer or craft beer too.

But, as a tourist, I love the taste of Singha. One sip in the balmy tropical air unleashes a torrent of fond memories flooding through my mind like Proust's madeleines.

I thought I might slip in a cold Bishops Finger this evening while throwing Gozirra up on the big screen

My bucket list 1/48 B-17 touched down safely so the 1/72 can be relegated. It comes with jovial bomb crew just like on Masters of the Air

This is not just any old B-17 but has half the fuselage made of clear perspex so you can see all the intricate machinations going on with Buck and Bucky sitting up front

Sgt Quinn manning one of the myriad .50 cals that festoon the fortress

Harry Crosby in the Navigators room and a monster pair of 1000lbers waiting be dropped on those nasty Nazis

Loved the opening scene from Gozirra with the A6M undercarriage

But it only gets better with the fantastic Kyushu J7W Shinden prop-pusher taking the starring role
