Following the success of their first beer market, ประชาชนเบียร์ (Prachonbeer) / ‘Beer people’ decided they would go bigger to do a Beer Market at Chang Chui.
Chang Chui creative market was a little further out of central Bangkok than the first Beer Market, but the setting was altogether pretty dang cool. The massive fuselage of an airplane sitting above the brewery tents and the beer drinking crowd of the event made for a great backdrop. Additionally, the large art pieces set around the park were cool, and there were clean toilets.
To make travel there easier, there was a driver service from a local MRT station, as was announced by the organizer/s of the Beer Market, ประชาชนเบียร์ (Prachonbeer) / ‘Beer people’. Once through the gate (free entry), there were a couple restaurants to pass before getting to the open area where the beer tents were.
There were a great number of breweries available from all over Thailand, including the easily found Chiang Mai Beer and Wizard, but also Blu’s Brewery from Isaan (I think…).
The Beer Market was all smiles and had a ton of great beer to try. On top of the local Thai craft beers to try, the event also had a variety of Thai alcohols such as Sato, and other cocktails available. As it was an open air event, there were DJs playing right behind the beer tents, and a tent of local live musicians. There was a great variety of food tents and event restaurants in the Chang Chui creative park. There is no way someone could have eaten all the food, and drank all the drink at the event in one day…. luckily there were two days!
Local Bangkok Breweries were also in attendance, of course. Some of the beers that were had (and remembered to take pictures of) include Elephants in the Pool Brewing, 96 Brewing, Call Me Papa, and Repentless Brewing.
Editor’s Note: Repentless’ Cocount Mango sour IPA was a personal highlight. While there were just a ton of great beers, and some really great IPAs, the sour beer really stood out.
It also helped that a sweet piece of coconut was served atop the beer with. The combo sour beer with the sweet cocnut piece was sublime (awesome)!
Live Music at the Beer Market
What’s a beer event without live music? There were a number of bands, including Cvptain Morgans. They were really rocking it our Saturday night, so much so it looked like the drummer was going to break the cymbals.
