There's a new legal Thai craft beer on the market from Full Moon Brew Works, the Phuket-based company behind the all-conquering Chalawan Pale Ale.

 

Chatri IPA is more intense and full-bodied than its predecessor, with a heftier 5.2% ABV. The beer is actually a collaboration with Stockade Brew Co. of Sydney, Australia—as portrayed in the label bearing a muay Thai fighter koala. 

 

 

Expect to find it in Bangkok's hippest bars and restaurants in the coming weeks, and at fullmoonbeer.bentoweb.com for B650/6 bottles. 

 

In more good news, Chalawan became the first Thai beer to win a gold medal at the World Beer Awards, held recently in London.
