@Helmut Why would someone need “millions in R&D” to brew a beer based on the German purification law. Shouldn’t there be enough R&D been done and readily available since 1516?

Once I accidentally sat together for with 5 German brewmasters who were employed by Thai breweries – 2 Kloster, 99 Mitweida, 3 Hofbräuhaus, 1 Paulaner and ? – numbers indicate my personal ranking.

Check out Kulmbacher alcohol free beer at Villa if you want the taste during a breakfast w/o the punch.

Is this the stuff they keep calling Fedder Boy on the radio?

OK, now that I’ve downed about 30 bottles of Federbräu, I’m not quite so impressed. The flavor seems to vary from bottle to bottle: sometimes it seems rich and full, sometimes it seems just flat and rusty.

Must be differences in my tasting apparatus.

Maybe I’ll just go back to Chang and wait for something better from Thai brewers.

I think you’re all wrong about Federbräu. I think it’s the best beer brewed in Thailand. And, of course, that’s not saying much. Thai breweries have a lot to learn. Federbräu cannot rival some of the brews from the American Pacific Northwest microbreweries.

But, try it! I think it’s the best Thai beer so far.

(BD: I hope I’m dead wrong dave, I hope. Maybe a new recipe? Will give it another try.)

From some of the print ads I saw it looked like Federal Brew was a new line of Polo shirts, and I thought I was sober at the time, most impressed by all the branding I am seeing all over bangers but I still dont know what it is? Someone is feather brained?

This “German” beer tastes very strange, bad and dull. A Thai friend told me it tastes like soya milk.

I think one of the richest men in Thailand thinks that the local beer consumers are dumb and they get convinced by a huge marketing campaign.

He should better invest those millions in R&D, quality ingredients and testing. And why doesn’t he just take Tawadaeng beer as a “status quo.”

One other thing: Beer Kloster disappeared from the shelves of 7/11 a few month before the arrival of Federbräu.

Anybody knows the reason?

Opened those bottles, tried the beer.

My unimportant verdict? This brew won’t be around for long.

Flat dull taste. No zest, no freshness. A taste as gray as the logo’s gray.

If all natural tastes like this I prefer chemicals.

What a downer.

But then again, maybe I had gotten a pre-release brew. Some friend described it as slightly sweet. Couldn’t make out any sweetness. Probably worth to try a fresher version.
