Boon Rawd Brewery

🌍 Thailand · Regional · Known for Lager
Known for Lager

Thailand's first and largest brewery, founded in 1933 by Phraya Bhirom Bhakdi after he travelled to Germany and Denmark to study European brewing. Singha — brewed from 100% barley malt with Saaz, Perle and Hallertau hops — became Thailand's defining beer and received royal approval from King Rama VII in 1939, earning the Garuda symbol on every bottle. Beer writer Michael Jackson described Singha as 'an outstanding pale lager that would attract attention anywhere in the world.' Boon Rawd distributes to nearly 50 countries and remains family-owned after 90+ years.

Everything sits in one family — which makes the comparison below the interesting part. It isn't what they brew that sets them apart, but how.

How they compare
Each beer measured against others of its own style, then averaged across the range. Compared with 104 other breweries making Lager.
Three beers is enough for a first read, not a full house style — one unusual beer moves this a lot.

Boon Rawd Brewery's beers land close to what is typical for the Lager styles they brew. The character is in the styles they choose and how consistently they hit them — not in standing apart from the field.
