That's a good point actually to try some side-by side. I've had the Staropramen, Tsing Tao and now the Singha, but its been months between them. Mostly an ale guy I guess, but I know there are good lagers out there too that I shouldn't ignore either. .-= Scott-TheBrewClub´s last blog ..<a href="http://thebrewclub.com/2009/09/04/bards-tale-gluten-free-beer/" rel="nofollow">Bard’s Tale Gluten Free Beer</a> =-.

Over here we're swamped by crap supermarket fodder and you have to seek out the quality stuff - still in supermarkets, but on a different shelf! I guess a good way to try differentiating would be to try a good German lager (say Becks for instance) and a Czech lager (Staropramen or Budvar /Czechvar) side by side, and then a Tsing Tao or Castell Cru to finsh off. That sounds like a plan! .-= Bob the Brit´s last blog ..<a href="http://www.bobthebrit.net/2009/09/23/bakewell-tart/#utm_source=feed&utm_medium=feed&utm_campaign=feed" rel="nofollow">Bakewell Tart</a> =-.

Not too light, hoppy, light and robust. Well balanced, quite enjoyable to drink. Still, I need to have more lagers because I'm having a real hard time differentiating this lager from some lesser ones. It just tastes 'lagery' to me! More palate development is on tap I think! .-= Scott-TheBrewClub´s last blog ..<a href="http://thebrewclub.com/2009/09/10/beer-review-tusker-kenyan-lager/" rel="nofollow">Beer Review-Tusker Kenyan Lager</a> =-.

Usually export brews are higher in alcohol, right? As it happens, I have a bottle of this in the fridge that I'm going to have tonight and I'll see if I can pick up on what Bob did. I'm also amazed at how far the German beer concept has traveled! .-= Scott-TheBrewClub´s last blog ..<a href="http://thebrewclub.com/2009/09/14/lucky-beer-and-bintang-beer-reviews/" rel="nofollow">Lucky Beer and Bintang Beer Reviews</a> =-.

I am baffled by the fact they don't export the 6.2. Seems like a no brainer. I would think they would sell more of the brew in the US than in Thailand. Oh well, guess they need keep something for the tourists. .-= Don´s last blog ..<a href="http://beerandwhiskeybros.com/2009/09/24/of-birthdays-and-beer-and-bourbon/" rel="nofollow">Of Birthdays and Beer and Bourbon</a> =-.
