Strange that Leo beer is missing from this list of 10 popular drinks, should have been in this list in my opinion,
Indeed Fred,
I can't walk past a bar, pub or terrace without seeing a bottle of LEO on the table!
And then usually the large, 630 cc, his favorite. And I'm not talking about a limited area, but about the whole of Thailand ..
Chang and Sigha are also available outside Thailand, maybe that plays a role, but that's not what the statement was about.
From me "Sex-on-the-beach" is in the list!
Number 1 as far as I'm concerned
On what basis is this list compiled?
I'm surprised that 'Leo bear' doesn't appear in the list at all.
I've never seen it unavailable though.
For me the best beer, but maybe that is subjective and tastes cannot be discussed of course.
Number 5 is new to me. I'd like to try. For Mekong I want to use Sangsom, because that is available everywhere. Is that possible?
My favorite Asian alcoholic drink is beer Lao (ເບຍລາວ / เบียร์ลาว, beer-laaw). Needs no further explanation I think.
Indeed, the Leo was wrong, I personally think this is the best beer, especially if you are a Jupiler drinker in Belgium.
