Craig’s tasting
Thailand, a land of beauty, beaches and countless rabid feral dogs. Thailand, while sharing the characteristics listed above with many other of its Asian neighbours is a unique place.
A local Thai may describe their land as “same, same but different”. As many readers would know, designer labels such as Louis Vuitton, Calvin Klein and Gucci choose to sell their genuine products at vastly discounted rates mostly in back alleys and tin sheds, in order to attract countless tourists to Thailand. For this I would like to thank the above mentioned fashion labels.
I would also like to thank the Boon Rawd brewery for putting together a perfectly acceptable beer. While it does leave a little more taste on the palate than most lagers, due to it’s ever so mild hopped taste, it is a great all round beer.
Bangkok is a city in which the rain is actually more polluted than the water filling its numerous sewage infested canals, so the fact that they can manage to put a drinkable beer on the market is astounding.
If you get the chance to drink this beer in its homeland, might I suggest you have it with a good Thai green or red curry.
It would also go down very well after a day of trying to save 50 cents by haggling shop owners down by 100 baht for a handbag that will last all of three weeks before the handles fall off.
