Description

I have tried to find pictures or any kind of memorablia to no avail with the exception of a beer coaster in someones collection. The poster is very interesting and I assume rare considering its content and the fact I cant find anything about it after hours of research.

I do not wish to be argumentative.  However I worked as a civilian contractor to the USAF from the mid 60's and the mid 70'.  Kratingtong was never a favorite of US service personel or ex-pat contractors. It was always considered a low grade/low price subatitute for Singha or Amerit.

I was the only person I ever knew that drank the stuff on a regular basis..but then I'm no beer connoiseur.  But it tasted just fine for me.
