question for beer enthusiasts...

anyone ever had southeast asian beers?

few are actually imported to the US... Singha (the most popular Thai brew) is available in a few restaurants and specialty (usually world market venue) stores. i was in southeast asia last year and had an opportunity to sample a number of different local brews and a lot of them were absolutely fantastic. a couple of the thai beers like "Chaang," most popular in northern thailand, were pretty potent, great body, great aftertaste, the works.

i'm headed back to thailand, and then laos, in a couple weeks for my honeymoon. anyone got suggestions of beers to try, or any experience with SE Asian brews?

Never messed with most of those, mainly because they all seem to be run-of-the-mill lagers. Nothing wrong with that, I just don't drink them much anymore.

Lion Stout, however, is a pretty awesome beer from a brewery in Sri Lanka. You don't typically think of stouts when it comes to Asian countries, but that one is wonderful.

You can find it here at World Market or Total Wine for about $8.99 a six-pack, if you're interested. Sorry I don't know more about that area's beers.

    • Nobody is saying we don't need it, just that we have bigger needs elsewhere, and that type of WR is actually something that is often found in the mid rounds, you just have to scout and evaluate properly. Here's another way of looking at why WR in the 1st shouldn't even be considered an option. Looking only at players currently on the team, what position group would you feel strongest about 4 years from now? I'm not sure there is a better answer there than WR, as you have to think T-Mac is our best player on the team in 4 years, with Coker not far behind. Our OL is too old to be considered, my opinions on Bryce is well known, Hubbard will be done by then and the rest of the RB is an unknown, Off-ball LB is maybe our biggest need, we only have 1 legit safety, it's certainly not TE, and our 2nd best CB right now will be 33 by then.   Brown should still be a beast as he'll only be 31, but nobody else on the DL projects to be that good in 4 years.  Edge rusher with Phillips, Scourton, and Princely is probably the only other possible answer than WR. So yes, that fast/shifty type of WR is 100% a need of ours, but we have so many other bigger needs both in the immediate and future, that to me, taking a WR in the 1st for the 3rd year in a row and having hit on another WR in the same time frame, just makes zero sense both currently and looking into the future.
    • Laughing at Slayton (Mooney or Calvin Austin III), but telling me that Coker is the next best thing since sliced bread...You laughing at Theo Johnson in reference to our guys too? LOL No one in their right mind thinks Nabers is anything but a stud (definitely top 10 if not 5 potential). You do realize that Thomas was in a new system with a furst-time coach last year (with a questionable QB to boot)? And yet still, it's possible that he eclipses even T-mac (not saying that he will). They didn't even mention Travis Hunter. In any event, we're not in the top half. Draft another legit receiver, and we will be. 
    • Absolutely, very fair assessment of the team.
