BANGKOK -- Down a quiet street in Nonthaburi, just outside Bangkok, a Thai couple in their 30s turned the self-isolation imposed by COVID-19 social distancing rules into a cocktail of opportunity, spending their idle hours creating new craft beers.
On a weekend afternoon, they were midway into their latest brew in an open kitchen area, at the back of their house. Their makeshift microbrewery included three large silver containers, normally used to cook noodles, in which they were preparing a variety of pale ales. Inside, a tall fridge was packed with beers made earlier.
