Sour beer in Bangkok?

Mikkeller's taproom on Sukhumvit 26 is worth the detour from Sathorn, but it's not the only game in town. If you're already heading to Finger Heart, walk over to TALann on Sukhumvit 33/1, they've got a rotating selection of local sours and the space is great for reading or people-watching alone. For something closer to your area, the bar at the Sathorn Soi 12 branch of Bella Napoli usually has one or two Sandport sours on tap and their pizza is legit if you get hungry.

Hair of the Dog in Thonglor does a decent rotating sour selection, not always on the menu but worth asking. Also check out Let the Dog Eat on Soi 49, they sometimes have tart farmhouse ales from local breweries like Sandport or East Coast. For something closer to Sathorn, Tropic City on Charoen Krung has a few funky sours on tap and the vibe is chill for solo drinking. Finger Heart is solid btw, they usually have a good range of imported lambics if that's your thing

wisehause on sukhumvit 33 is worth the trip from sathorn, they always have a couple of tart options on their 20 taps and the owner's a fan of belgian lambics so you'll find cantillon or 3 fonteinen if you're lucky. closer to you, the bar at bella napoli on sathorn soi 12 does a rotating sour from a local brewery called sandport that's pretty solid, plus their pizza is good for a solo dinner. if you're willing to go a bit further, haoma's bar on naradhiwat has a wild ale they make in-house that changes seasonally, very different from the usual craft spots

Krua Dok Mai Kao is solid but I've always found their som tam a bit tame on the pla ra. If you want the real funky version, try the shophouse spots along Soi Udomsuk 26, near the night market end. They pound it fresh with fermented fish that'll clear your sinuses, and it's like 60 baht. Different style from the On Nut places, more Lao-leaning.

for som tam specifically i'd say the Isaan spots in Chatuchak are underrated, weekdays only though since the weekend crowd ruins the vibe. there's a stall near gate 2 that does tam pa with fermented bamboo shoots, super sour and funky, not something you see much in On Nut. if you're already heading north for Or Tor Kor anyway its worth the detour.

honestly the som tam at Krua Dok Mai Kao is good but what got me hooked is their nam prik pla raa dip with the raw veggies, that funk hits way harder than the papaya does. think most people sleep on it cuz they just order the som tam and gai yang. also pro tip, go before noon on weekdays, after that teh pla ra gets milder cuz they batch it for the lunch rush
