Vana Brewing (formerly the Brewing Project) by Ben Chalach wins awards for both its beers and its can design. Brewed southeast of Bangkok at TSI (Thai Spirit Industry) contract brewery near the banks of the Bang Pakong river, head brewer Ben’s beers are probably the easiest to find. They brew a range of beers in modern and traditional styles, and they make sure they’re always in stock. The brand is known for working and collaborating with other brewers both in and outside of Thailand. (BK Magazine)
The Brewing Project changed its name to Vana Brewing
The brewery was established in 2017 and has since produced a number of beers that have won a range of international beer awards. It is known for artsy graphics on tall cans of quality craft beer, and increasingly being produced in Thailand.
