The Duke is one of Bangkok’s highly rated beer destinations, for imports and some local beers. As it has also been able to open earlier than 5m thanks to the change in recent Thai alcohol sales law, it seemed necessary to get an early 2026 visit to the Duke of Beerington.
On the visit to the Duke, a couple of the beers that were enjoyed was
- The Chocolate Milk Stout by Vana (on draft)
- Deschutes Symphonic Chronic, Double Haze IPA
Vana’s Chocolate Milk Stout is experimental, so there has been a limited number of locations and kegs available. More info on the stout, here. Vana Brewing is the updated name of The Brewing Project, and is a Thai craft brewery.
– the stout had a lot of chocolate notes in the nose and in the taste from the locally sourced Pridi CacaoFevier.
Deschutes Symphonic Chronic is a BIG flavor and sold in BIG cans. The cans have a lot going on, as well. Deschutes is an imported beer from the USA.
For takeaway:
It was very tempting to take home the bottle of Beer Geek Breakfast by Mikkeller, especially as there was a recent release of a Thai Beer Geek Breakfast using Thai coffee and Thai durian. Thai Beer Geek Breakfast post here.
Instead, the beer chosen for takeaway was a blood orange sour.
Visit The Duke of Beerington
The Duke is just off Sukhumvit road, and not far from Thong Lor BTS station.
It is not a big bar, but is great to hang out and order in some food. Take a look at the curated selection of beers in the fridge, or enjoy a beer from the tap. As a bottle shop, they have a wide selection of beers to take home, or enjoy there, and they have about 3 beers on tap that are always rotating.
For this 2026 visit to the Duke, there was a pale ale, a DIPA, and the chocolate stout on tap.
