Thread: Tonight beer review

So after last night experimenting with the herbs and being a little "hard on the Beaver" I'm indulging in some fancy pants beer.

First is the Krombacher Wheat beer.



Mighty good stuff, kinda pricey at 128 baht 500ml bottle from Carefour, but it's definately an equal to the fancy wheat beer from the HoB on Thonglo 16.
I rate it tip top and well worth the price.

Next just for curiosity I tried the Kombacher Pils



Good head, pleasant hoppy taste, light body, for a 4.8% beer it is a pleasant change from the usual virtually undrinkable Thai beer. At 108 baht a 500ml can still isn't exactly cheap. In Germany it's probably viewed as Old Milwaukee is in the USA.

I rate it medium and ok for the price, especially if you're getting sick of Thai beer.

i tried a beer here in uk the other weekend, called asylum, never a fruitier tasting beer have i tasted, lovely

Those photos are loveley.
Did i see some beer there also ?

I drink this when I get a chance. It can be picked up at Rimping here in Chiang Mai for about 140 baht for a 500ml bottle, but well worth it.

Weihenstephaner Korbinian - Bayerische Staatsbrauerei Weihenstephan - Freising, Germany - BeerAdvocate

Beer Advocate rates it at an A-

Notes: A tasty malt towering brew, makes for a great dessert or end of the night brew. Brewed in the old style of Dunkles Starkbier meaning dark strong beer, more or less can be classified as a Double Bock due to its massive maltiness and boasting an alcohol by volume of 7.4%.

^ A local bar does that brand. They do a sensible, tastier one at around 5% as well. 99% of beers over 5% taste like shit.

Yeah. That's the "weissbier" (sp?) light-coloured stuff. Very nice indeed, too.

Most locales that stock this also have the "Erdinger" and "Paulener" brands too. Both of which are excellent.

No, it's a dunkel I have.

Also, I must say that Earl is a bit of a lightweight. 2 beers and he passed out.

Krombacher Weizen is new. Krombacher Pils is the established, 'premium' beer.

Can be grouped in the same price category as Warsteiner or Beck's in Germany.

Weissbier does not actually mean it's a light coloured beer, it's just the Bavarian name for a Weizenbier, a wheat beer. So you can get light and dark Weissbiers. I prefer the dark ones with the yeast residue still in the bottle. When the beer has beenm nearly poured out completely you shake the bottle (or roll it on the table) to mix up the yeast and then you pour that into the glass. The beer will become slightly opaque.

There are also Kristallweizen, these don't have any yeast residue in the bottle, the beer remains clear, hence Kristall.

This is what I am drinking at the moment.



Very nice medium golden brown ale with frothy head and deep hoppy flavour. Head and shoulders above the usual Aussie piss. The so called 'premium' aussie beers (Crown, Hahn, Cascade) are a waste of money - tase identical to standard VB piss.

This James Squire stuff is the real deal.

$50 a case is a bargain too. Single bottle price is $3.85

I'd agree with the James Squire. I thought the Boag's were pretty good too and they are available in Cambodia.

Stop IT.......

This is Cruel. I am stuck. A million miles from a good pint

^ take your dinghy to the nearest 7/11 then and buy a bottle of Archa.

I brought a case of Thirsty Beaver to a party in the Okanagan Valley in BC, Canada once.
Don't know beer from shinola, unlike my brother who was offered a brewmaster's job at Molsons.
But, the Thirsty Beaver really went over well. It's from one of the many micro-breweries that exist there.
Their sales went up about 50% once they changed their name to 'the beaver.'

I thought the red Cheers was strong

COMMERCIAL DESCRIPTION
The End of History: The name derives from the famous work of philosopher Francis Fukuyama, this is to beer what democracy is to history. Fukuyama defined history as the evolution of the political system and traced this through the ages until we got the Western Democratic paradigm. For Fukuyama this was the end point of man’s political evolution and consequently the end of history. The beer is the last high abv beer we are going to brew, the end point of our research into how far the can push the boundaries of extreme brewing, the end of beer.

Yeah, I thought that if anybody had heard of Thirsty Beaver, it just might be you!
I don't remember what it was called before.

And that is a long way to go for a beer run!
Cheers.

^ This ring a bell ?

^ Must be a Canuck bar.
Where is that?

Nope? Thirsty Beaver do 2 beers a dark and an amber, I like the Amber best. I was enjoying it 2 weeks ago in Kelowna. Had a bash until the wee hours and then drove the 1500k back home the Sunday. Good job I am still young

Thailand has Canuck Pubs?

What a waste of space. Molson, Labbats and other chemical companies no doubt.

Albani Brewery - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

I recall drinking bottles of this brew that was something like 17% Alcohol - each bottle was numbered, it was a killer!

No wonder Andersen told tall tales!
