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?

Don't care for Singha all that much, nor Angkor (sp?)

But I have knocked back many a Tiger beer, San Migs are also good

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.

It pains the former English major in me to do it, but you got it.

Now let's hope I don't get sued by The Flying Saucer.

don't do it for me. do it cuz you like it. i've seen other shirts besides the saucers that spell it that way too.

One should never turn down a new experience in the world of beer.
