Baan Bangkok is brewed in Bangkok, and the beer is available on tap in many craft beer bars in Bangkok and across Thailand.
Before the time of COVID, Baan had a bar to visit, but it was closed and instead of re-opening, the brewery is working together with the guys at Haze bar. A couple good spots to find their beer is Haze and Shelter.
Baan Bangkok is known for brewing local hazy beers with big flavors. In pre-COVID times, Baan had their own taproom to serve their beer, but once that became unviable, they collabed with Haze bar in Chinatown as a sort of home location. The brewers behind Baan are Jaqc and Joyce. They brew their beers in Bangkok and live life at their own speed and without much social media cache. But they’re not lazy. They recently did a collaboration with Behemoth brewery out of New Zealand and another with Sriracha Brewing here in Thailand, so they just do things their own way.
Baan’s flagship beer is the New England IPA: Thai Stick. One of the bar managers explained that big batches are brewed, then shipped around the city and across the country. The term “thai stick” comes from the a cannabis strain that came out of northern Thailand in the 70’s. The hops used to make the beer were chosen as an homage to the strain.
