🌍 Thailand · Lager · One of 137 Lagers in hopIQ

Boon Rawd's Thai value lager — Australian spring barley over Thai rice, imported German noble hops, and artesian water. 5% ABV, IBU unpublished. Softer and lighter-bodied than the Singha flagship, engineered for Thailand's year-round humidity. Now the country's best-selling beer by volume.
