Keeping with the theme of pale ale micro-brews of Southeast Asia, here’s another one: Cha La Wan Pale Ale.
I first ran across this brew at the St. Regis Bangkok.
But was it any good?

About Cha La Wan Pale Ale (Thailand)
This Thai beer is a product of the Full Moon Brewworks out of Patong Beach, Phuket, Thailand.
Had I known that, I would have stopped by.
Cha La Wan Pale Ale Description
This American Pale Ale style beer poured a golden-amber color with unexpectedly frothy head.
To be sure, it was hoppy, but with a smooth bitterness that was balanced by the fruity notes of lychee.
Review: Cha La Wan Beer (Thailand)
This was simply a great beer.
Smooth, light-to-medium bodied, with a complex flavor that evolved inside of every sip.
This was an excellent beer that makes me want to see what else Full Moon Brewworks has brewing.
The Bottom-Line: 4.25/5.
