thursday 1 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Chang beer, is a Thai beer. The staple over Singha which is what most foreigners drink instead. I can taste some rice sharpness in the first and it ends a bit sweet. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 18, 2010 Share Posted October 18, 2010 Yeah i was thinking Tiger beer when I wrote that Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Can someone simply tell me the difference between "beer" and these other drinks that pretend to be beer, but aren't beer? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 simple explanation - different ingredients or malt content beer - made the standard way happoshu - can be made the same way but has a malt content of 67% or less. dai-san biiru (sometimes labelled liguor) - either use malt alternatives, or they are a mix of happoshu and another type of alcohol Link to post Share on other sites
Yuki's Passion 1 Posted October 20, 2010 Share Posted October 20, 2010 Originally Posted By: Ezorisu Haven't seen it since the end of September. Score! Found some at a small liquor shop, so I grabbed several 6ers! Love me Akiaji Link to post Share on other sites
