Beers (the drink not the Girl)

[mardhi]

Jays original plan was to try and stock a wider range of beers than you normally see in a bar in Thailand.

With the opening rush, she never found the suppliers for each of the imported beers, but after we were out last week at her cousins place, she has started to think again about what gets stocked.

Currently she has:-

Heinken
Tiger
Chiang
Singha
San Miguel Light
Corona

She knows she can get the following:

John Smiths 'draught' cans
VB
Fosters
Budweiser
Erdinger (German, I believe)
Cider from UK
Various Belgian beers
Stella Artois
Beer Lao - which apparently (!!!!) is excellent

Odds are for all these imported beers, your probably looking at a selling price of circa 180baht I would imagine.

Question is, is there any demand for any of the above? If so which ones? and I will pass it onto Jay. Personally I quite fancy the Erdinger stuff which we had last week - nice enough beer and also John Smiths would make a nice change.

Cheers

GUINESS

but from the list stella artois

[stogie bear]

Please stock a few John Smiths for Jelly Beans party on the 26th... I'm tired of the Diet Cokes now!

[katoeylover]

Too much choice is more cost of stock.

Iwould suggest maybe one "english" beer, either Bitter or Guiness, but drop the lowest seller of the rest that she has already.

Yes that Beer Lao is a nice drop of ale.

No Aussie beers please

[divertwo]

if only I could bring the beer I brew ...I'd serve you some real grog........

Magners Irish cider please it has become very popular in England.

[Ladyboy_Loser!]

Beer Lao please. For Gods sake please I beg you tell Jane not to carry any American beer. All of them, across the board taste like beer flavored water and nothing more. On a personal note, I think that Beer Chang and Beer Lao should never sell for more than 100 Baht.

Bear Lao !!!


And of course Rolling Rock from America !! ( Just kidding, its piss without the taste )

ps. But I am serious about the Beer Lao

[brocklanders]

Beer Lao rules and hopefully in the large bottle as well.

The current lineup is pretty standard. Nothing wrong with it and plenty of good ones, but it does not give an extra incentive to visit there.

1. Beer Lao - good, cheap, and widely known. you need this.
2. Erdinger - you need a wheat beer like this the most! Erdinger will do and is good, but Weihenstephaner or Franziskaner are even better IMHO and are available at some other bars and also have seen Paulaner.
3. Draft - having a keg of cheap drafts is appealing though don't know if it would be practical in that setting or not. Maybe a pony keg. There's just something so appealing about stepping into a bar with a tap on the counter that makes you feel you are at home.
4. Guinness -I used to be a big Guinness fan but not while in Thailand because I find stouts a little hard to drink in the tropical climate.
5. Bud - you gotta be kidding! There are even bars in America that will throw you out if you order a bud or coors. Like ordering a big mac in a fine steak house.
6. Belgian Bottles - Having any of these excellent beers, such as Hoegaarden would be cool. Go this far and you'll be really quite the bar.

No need to over do it.  Just beer for thought.

From the list I would pick Beer Lao and John Smiths .. But a good ale (no not ginger ale), would meke my day
