reader Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Think I'll stick with Leo but I've got to admire 7-11's willingness to innovate. You may recall its last attempt in beer (draft on tap) ended with a thud. From Khaosod English BANGKOK — For the first time, the shelves of the realm’s top convenience stores will be stocked with cans of Thai craft beer. Starting Thursday, Bannok Beer will be sold at 7-Eleven stores in Bangkok and a number of other provinces. It’s billed as the convenience chain’s first Thai craft beer for sale. Beers will sell in two low-alcohol content varieties: a wheat beer called Kiss Me Deadly and IPA Honey Bomb. Each is 4 percent alcohol by volume and costs 99 baht. http://www.khaosodenglish.com/life/food/2017/12/27/7-eleven-sell-cans-thai-craft-beer/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
santosh108 Posted December 27, 2017 Share Posted December 27, 2017 Interesting idea but seems a little on the expensive side for an initial introduction?! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reader Posted December 27, 2017 Author Share Posted December 27, 2017 Go into a 7-11 just before midnight and Leo, Chang and Singha are being pulled out of the coolers in the price range of 36-40 baht. I don't see your average Thai, expat or visitor paying 99 for Bannok. You can buy a microwave meal and chips with the difference in baht. faranglaw 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alexx Posted December 28, 2017 Share Posted December 28, 2017 I'm sure there's a market. The very same 7/11 stores are already selling Black Label besides the cheap Thai "whiskeys" (rums), after all. vinapu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
