My Beer Friend Nimman

My Beer Friend runs several of Chiang Mai's most respected craft beer venues, and this is the most accessible. House beers developed to the team's recipes and contract-brewed, including American wheat ales, NEIPAs and ESBs, pour alongside guests such as Vietnam's Heart of Darkness and a curated fridge. Dark wood and craft beer posters set a chic but unpretentious tone.

Staff are knowledgeable and happy to talk you through the current list, so ask what's new. It draws long-term expats, digital nomads and visitors, and makes a good first stop on the city's beer scene.
