Folks have asked where to get a good lager from the Far East, given the similar taste profiles of Asahi. Sapporo and Tsingtao. Chang, a Thai lager we first encountered nearly two decades ago, might be worth a look. This is a malt-forward lager perfect for tropical climes and humid Chicago summers, where you don't want the cloying flavor of hops weighing you down. The sweetness of the malt isn't heavy, with a light citrus that's refreshing. At 5 percent ABV, this is also a great session beer. It's perfect for extended patio/rooftop excursions, grilling in the backyard and picnics. more ›
