Around the World: I Found That Beer!

Posted by Patrick under Around the World

After my upgrade debacle, I needed some liquid therapy. Thai Airways to the rescue!

I was just reading about Singha — Thailand’s biggest national brand — in my Lonely Planet guidebook, and wondered if I could score one on board. As you can see here, that would be a capital “chai” (or “yes” to us farang).

It’s crisp and hoppy, super pale and packs a 6% punch — just what I needed to settle things down. I’m not sure if the brewery is open for tours, but you’ll see it here, if it is, with amore detailed write-up.

The best part of that delicious beer? It was free! I’d forgotten that almost all non-American international carriers don’t charge for alcohol on their flights.

Hmmm. Might have to have another.
