Craftier Than Before: An Inside Look Into Bangkok’s Exploding Craft Beer Scene
Plurals and a New Hope
By the end of the week I felt my anticipation begin to grow. The event had begun announcing tap lists—plural! Even when you could find a good, imported Rogue Brewery beer, it was almost always in bottles. Draft beer was a holy grail. I spread the word to my friends and boarded the hype train.
The event was on a Saturday night and everyone I knew was coming at 7pm or later. However, I had been religiously refreshing the event page and knew that the organizers had warned that they may have to turn away latecomers on account of reaching capacity. The event started at 4pm, which meant I would be there at 4pm. When I arrived the line was already snaking around the building and my girlfriend said she had never seen so many foreigners gathered in one place in Bangkok.
