Chang Beer - Not good-
Before I start this review, I got an email from someone saying I need to correct my grammar and spelling before I post if I want to be taken seriously.
Fuck off.
This is a beer site. I write these posts as im drinking, and if I did it sober, Id be just like the guy who emailed that. Im not going to drink this beer and tell you about it next week. Im going to drink it and tell you about it right as I type, because that makes it feel more authentic. Who writes a beer blog sober? Hipsters. Thats who.
I went to Thailand with this beer, and I gotta say, Im happy I finally found a shit brew. When I first started this site, I wanted to search the globe for some of the worlds weirdest and most shit beer. Though I have definitely found weird beer, its also been pretty good so far. I really want to find beer that would make me want to quit drinking every time I tip my bottle up. This is as close as Ive gotten so far. Cant believe a beer from Thailand made it happen. Sense my sarcasm?
If you know of a beer that's not from the U.S. that's god awful, please use the "contact us" part of the site to tell me about it. Ill try to feature what I can get a hold of.
This beer is brewed in Ayutthaya, Thailand. Got that? Yeah, me neither.
The city has a population of 300,000 people which all ride elephants to work. The roadways are extra wide. It was burned down in 1767 by the Burmese army.
I cant imagine why.
Its often called the Venice of the east, which is convenient since I wish the waters would rise.
You can almost always tell a beer is going to be shitty by simply seeing a gold wrap around the neck, and as the saying goes, you cant polish a turd. Upon first drink, its not great, but its not bad. The aftertaste however is something id liken to drinking goat piss. Its god awful.
Fun fact: Carlsberg and Chang established a joint venture in 2000,
Carlsberg Asia, to try to create a significant brewing company in Asia. In 2005, Carlsberg pulled out from the venture and terminated the license
agreement with Chang. I wonder why? Could be the lack of quality. Anyways, Carlsburg had to pay 120 milllion bucks which I find to be absurd. Thaibev, which makes Chang, didn't put any of that money into making the beer better. I promise.
Shitty beer makes writing these more fun.
The Verdict:
4 out of 10
Stay away. The elephant on the box filled with beer should be enough. Your friends and family will tell you to never judge a book by its cover but in this case, go right ahead.
