6 awesome lesser-known craft beers available in Bangkok
Craft beer is all about trying new things, right?
From: Holgate Brewhouse
Type: Lager
The flavors: A light, very traditional-tasting lager with some added earthy tones, thanks to the inclusion of Ella hops, and a tangy, citrus finish.
ABV: 5%
From: Stone Head Thai Craft Beer
Type: Witbier
The flavors: Made with sundried bananas to create a sweet, almost caramelized flavor with a decent body and smooth finish.
ABV: 4.9%
From: Eleventh Fort Brewing
Type: IPA
The flavors: Strong. You’re going to get hits of dark chocolate, roasted coffee and mild berries with a very hoppy finish. This is a bitter beer, but is still well-balanced.
ABV: 8%
From: Lost Coast
Type: IPA
The flavors: Hoppy with a noticeable citrus finish. Won’t blow your socks off with hop flavors, but it's not hiding them either.
ABV: 4.8%
From: Rogue Brewery, United States
Type: Maibock (amber)
The flavors: Very hoppy aroma accented by flavors of caramel and honey. This is a full-bodied and easy-drinking beer.
ABV: 6.5%
From: Far Yeast Brewing Company, Japan
Type: Belgian strong ale
The flavors: A tinge of spicy notes with some added saltiness and sweetness. Not bitter at all but still very full-bodied. There’s a high alcohol content so don’t knock back too many in rapid succession.
ABV: 9%
