American whisky.

Ok. Acceptable.

American cheese.

Acceptable on a burger.

American vodka.

What the fuck?!?!?!?!?

Unfortunately, most craft beer is undrinkable dishwater shite.

There's a reason Germany has been getting it right for 500 years.

You don't fuck about with a winning formula.

Not the stuff I drink but what do you know you eat at Denny's when traveling in the states.

You Americans - and you especially, basement dweller - have got about as much authority on decent beer as Joe and BLD have on cooking, you utter twat.

American Vodka is outstanding. Hangar 1, Humboldt Distillery Vodka, Tito's etc. You are living in a vacuum Hal and holding onto marketing hype thinking Grey Goose is the best. That said I do like Stoli Vodka as well.

Nice try at a wind up Hal. You know craft beers are way better then the mass produced goat piss like Budweiser, Heineken, Stella, San Miguel, Leo

What is it with you retarded fucking brits being obsessed with basements. A TEFLer accusing someone of living in a basement, oh the irony.

Right, I only grew my own hops and brewed my own beer for almost ten years before getting tired of doing the work. I know more about beer and how to make it than you could ever dream of.

Very true. All of those would put absolut or Stoli to shame.

He is taking some big swings and mostly whiffing bigly.

I don't drink any of those mate.

Like i said: the Germans have been doing it right for 500 years. Much of the rest of Europe too.

That does me just fine.

I like Hal, he makes me laugh. I bet he still sucks helium out of balloons to hear his voice and get a little dizzy.

So you Americans think you make vodka better than they do in Poland or Russia now?



It's no wonder the rest of the world thinks you are clueless wankers and we piss ourselves laughing at you.

I enjoy numerous German and Belgium beers.

Just because they have been making it for 500 years means very little to me. In fact it tells me they aren't very innovative. These craft beer companies are brewing some really good beers. They create new tastes all the time.

Colour me surprised, Mr American.

Lemme ask you this, have you tried any American distilled Vodka or are you just believing the marketing hype? You can believe what you want but until you have had some you are kind of being silly.

I have enjoyed Vodkas from all over the world. I can say with full confidence Absolut Vodka is crap. Stoli is a good Vodka. Grey Goose, Belvedere are over rated but impress people with nice bottles. The 3 American Vodkas I mentioned are exceptionally good

You know I live in Eastern Europe, yeah?

I walk out of my door and I can find 10-20 locally produced vodkas that have been made for centuries.

Do you think these people would do anything but laugh in my face if I suggested your American vodka?

Absolut is distilled in Sweden and Stoli in Latvia. You are completely clueless about what you speak, but yes, some American vodkas are better you ignorant fuck.

You are wrong there. As I have mentioned before, lots of British expats that live here would be the ones laughing at you. The clueless wanker is you in this case and you prove it with every post.

Keep digging...

Gotta call BS on that one Hal. But OK and are they all good or just places making Vodka. You do understand that having 10 or 20 places means little if its crap. That said I have to defer to you as I haven't seen many or tasted many as I have no need too with what I have access too.

They probably would laugh at you, albeit some have preferences and like quality spirits.

Why on earth would you do that? Do you try to order English ale in a German gasthaus? You are really descending to new levels of desperation Hal.

Hey, Stumpy, are you ordering the Tito’s online or have you found a place you can walk in and buy it?

Tito’s is my vodka of choice though I must order it. Stoli comes in second but is the one I can buy in the supermarket here in a pinch.

Let's me say this Hal, if I was ever going to drink Gin I would definitely defer to the British contingent as it very popular in your parts.

Oddly enough MK it is now available at the Topps market. I saw it Lampang and CM. Great stuff.

^WOW.

Yeah I was quite surprised when I saw it as well MK. Grabbed up a few bottles. Have a bottle here as you saw. In the states I prefer Hangar 1 or Humboldt Distillery Vodka. Here Stoli has become quite expensive for what it is. But you work with you got. The 750ml Titos was 859 bht which isn't too bad. The 1liter Stoli is 1250 to 1350 depends on where you buy it. Grey Goose is stupid costly and again overrated as is Belvedere. both are 2000 bht+

I’ll be stopping by Tops today and stocking up. Oddly, I never look at the alcohol selection in Tops. Makes me wonder if Go Wholesale has it since they are part of Central/Top’s.

It might be possible. I think it will always be hit and miss here in Thailand on spirits and where you are. I doubt Tops in more out of the way locations will stock it because the folks probably do not know what it is and its way more then Lao Khao.

I have found it down here in Pattaya. Villa Market has it and Foodland. Haven't stopped at the big Makro but I never really go there as I do not need monster bags of food while on travel.
