Singha ((タイ語:สิงห์), correctly pronounced ''sing'', but commonly pronounced ''sing-ha'', reflecting the Latin spelling) is a 5% alcohol-by-volume (abv) pale lager produced by Singha Corporation Co. Ltd., a subsidiary of Boon Rawd Brewery.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://www.boonrawd.co.th/singha-corporation/en/singha-about-company-profile.php )〕 It is also available in 5% abv draught version as ''Singha Lager Draft'', and the 3.5% abv ''Singha Light'' introduced in 2006. 8 Jan 2004 ==History== The Singha is a powerful mythological lion, found in ancient Hindu and Thai stories. The royal warrant was given on 25 October 1939, and Boon Rawd is the only brewery permitted to display the royal Garuda on the bottleneck. Boon Rawd bought two German breweries at Hartmannsdorf and Mittweida, Saxony in 1994. Singha beer is brewed in Germany by Schlossbrauerei Au-Hallertau under licence from Singha Corporation Co., Ltd.. Beginning in September 2007, a 5.0% (abv) version of Singha replaced the 6.0% (abv) original. This new version, while still brewed in Thailand by Pathmthani Brewery Co Ltd, states on its label to have been brewed under the supervision of Singha Corporation Co Ltd, instead of Boon Rawd. Beer production capacity is 1 billion litres per year. Until recently Singha was the best selling beer in Thailand, but is now challenged by Beer Chang, brewed by ThaiBev (formerly the Beer Thai Company). In 2007, Boon Rawd regained its number one spot in Thailand. Singha has been available in the UK since April 2010 in supermarkets Tesco, Waitrose, Sainsburys, Asda and Morrisons, as well as in Thai restaurants. There are growing sales of Singha in bars, following the launch of draught Singha in 2011. From March 2013, Singha beer will be produced at Carlsberg's Russian plant for distribution in European markets. Singha will also use any of eight Carlsberg plants in Asia for production.〔 〕 This comes as part of an agreement to use each other's production facilities and markets. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Singha」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
