Singha

Tap to rate

Thailand's most iconic beer, brewed since 1933 with 100% barley malt and three noble hops — Saaz, Perle and Hallertau. Full-bodied for a pale lager with a firm hop bitterness and a crisp, dry finish. Singha carries a royal warrant from King Rama VII and is Thailand's ambassador beer worldwide — the taste of Thai food, tropical heat and the Garuda crest.

What is a Lager?

Euro Pale Lagers are clean, refreshing lagers with 4–5.5% ABV and IBU 10–25. Soft malt sweetness, light hop bitterness and high carbonation make them supremely drinkable.
