Elephant Cafe in Ko Lipe
On a recent trip to Ko Lipe, a beautiful island in southern Thailand, my wife and I stumbled upon a gem of a cafe called Elephant, located along the bustling Walking Street. This highly reviewed cafe is a popular spot for both tourists and locals, offering a variety of delicious dishes and a welcoming atmosphere. We decided to visit Elephant for brunch, eager to try some of their signature dishes! 🤤
The menu at Elephant was filled with tempting options, and we couldn't resist ordering the Khao Soi Noodles and Patty Melts. Both dishes were excellent, and we enjoyed them immensely. However, being on a beach holiday, we felt the need to quench our thirst with something refreshing and flavorful. That's when we turned our attention to the beverage menu and found the Andaman Phuket Dark Ale from FullMoon Brewworks.

Before I dive into the details of the Andaman Phuket Dark Ale, let me give you some background on the brewery that crafted this delightful beverage.

Founded in 2011, this brewery has been a trailblazer in Thailand's craft beer industry. Their dedication to quality and innovation has garnered them a notable reputation in the region.

The Allure of Andaman Phuket Dark Ale
Andaman Phuket Dark Ale is a craft beer that immediately caught our attention, boasting a balanced composition with a 4.7% alcohol by volume (ABV), 30 International Bitterness Units (IBU), and 60 European Brewery Convention (EBC), which measures the color of the beer. This ale is brewed using floor-malted Maris Otter, a rare and artisanal practice that gives the malt a unique depth of flavor. As soon as the beer was poured, we were greeted with a rich malty aroma that was warm and inviting!
The first sip was a revelation, with a soft biscuit and caramel touch that added a delightful sweetness. The espresso finish provided a smooth and satisfying end to each sip. Overall, the Andaman Phuket Dark Ale presented a harmonious balance of flavors and bitterness, with a color that hinted at its rich maltiness. It was the perfect companion as we sat in the open-air setting of Elephant Cafe, soaking in the island vibes and watching the lively scene on Walking Street. The combination of its taste profile and setting made the experience truly memorable! 👏
Elephant Cafe: A Must-Visit for Ko Lipe Travelers
Elephant Cafe exceeded our expectations, living up to its glowing online reviews. The ambiance was relaxed yet vibrant, with friendly staff who made us feel right at home. The food was delicious, with a wide range of dishes to suit every palate. The service was prompt and attentive, and the overall experience was enjoyable from start to finish.
If you're visiting Ko Lipe, I highly recommend checking out Elephant Cafe for a satisfying meal and a fantastic beer selection. It's the kind of place that makes you want to return, whether for another brunch, a quick coffee, or an ice-cold beer to beat the island heat! 😋
