The U.S. Embassy Bangkok is fostering the long-standing friendship and relationship between Thailand and the United States through "Chang Freedom 250" an initiative celebrating the 250th anniversary of American independence (Freedom250).
This project features an exclusive beverage that blends premium American agricultural ingredients with Thai expertise in beverage production, capturing the essence of both cultures in a single glass. Today marks the first milestone of this collaboration: the "First Brew" event, which combines 100% premium American agricultural ingredients including hops and malt that meet USDA standards with Thai brewing knowledge and craftsmanship.
