7-11 craft beers

[reader]

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.

Interesting idea but seems a little on the expensive side for an initial introduction?!

[reader]

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.

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.

Alexx, since you live in Krung Thep would you be willing to do the board a service a give us a product review of your choice of Bannok?
