Beer Events in Bangkok

Upcoming Beer events to put on your calendar

Events, festivals, special tastings happen in Bangkok all the time. The list of Beer Events in Bangkok is more focused on the beer fests, especially local Thai Craft beer events. Other occasional events happening at craft beer venues may be added as a beer event if we can find out about it in time.

We also try to get ahead of the ‘Booze-Ban’ days, as they can come as a surprise even to the locals. Best to plan ahead for those days.
