Never tried the stuff, emptied a can of it the other day when one of our new clients turned up with one in his luggage. I generaly drink Leo or Henikhen bottled when our, or Asahi if its available. Singha just makes me unwell, as does Chang. Archa and Cheers no way, and that Orange Cheers looks like filth Saw that Asahi beer in the Rimping supermarket on the CM - Hang Dong road the other day. Maybe not to everyone's taste but nice beer all the same. It's a lot cheaper here than it is in Oz.There's a good Vietnamese restaurant in front of that Rimping as well ! Coz the stuff you buy here aint the same as you buy in Oz.

Back in time i loved holidays and days out tasting the local brews. Then watneys and fizz stuff. The back lash, slowly, real ale. I was fortunate that the areas i lived in still brewed proper cask ale. Hate drinking bottled trash.

bowie head to some of these redneck pubs oop north lad.
On a pub crawl, the first thing the locals will do is ask the barmaid, when was the last time you pulled a pint of X, if she says 5 minutes ago, ok give us 5 pints please.
Keep your pipes clean.
Not yet mentioned in dispatches, Bass Special, Manns and Ruddles.

^^^ all the local brewers like Lees and Wilson were bought out by the euro lager fizz conglomerates.
Thankfully Joe Holt still survives, Boddy used to be a decent pint, then they made it into p**s water.

I planned the whole excursion, to study midland culture and the industrial revolution. Bass brewery and a guided tour. "Excuse me for a little time, my own private research,". The best ale i have ever tasted.

Back to "U beer", I finally remembered and yesterday had a look in my local 7/11 here in Bangkok.
U beer only in 500ml cans, 1 for 50 Baht, 2 for 95 (or was it 98?). Archa big bottle 45, Leo and Tiger big bottle 56. Can't remember the rest.
