i love that beer also .. :)

I swill that with Sushi..good stuff

hm.... i am going to try it out, where to get it here?

Haven't tried that either.

I love that beer. It sorta reminds of a high class version of Budweiser.

EXACTLY!! the only time i drink it is with Sushi!

instead of eating sushi i drink that..

never seen that before.

ive never heard of it

Never tried it before...

Never tired, or even heard of it.

I'll take your word for it though... ;-)

good tasting beer. :thumbsup

never tested yet

my fav i tried when in USA. Budweiser is for kids.

I love it!:)

Has it still got the complete top of the can as a ringpull so you end up with a glass? Used to get in the U.K don't see it here.

It blows. Sorry. When its the only beer you can easily get for 2 weeks or more you grow to hate that shit. :2 cents:

I have tasted this beer long time ago in one resturant from the glass bottle, and than once u have bought this in the mall

the taste of the bottle beer much better

I'll give you $100 if you can crush one of those cans on your head. ;)

Sushi isn't the same without it :1orglaugh

Sapporo is Japan's oldest brand, when the Japanese government first opened their trademark office in 1890 the brewery was first in line :)

Saki Bomb!

LOL yeah those can's are pretty sturdy. They have a 0.20 return value here in Canada.

Give me a break. :upsidedow

This is a very AVERAGE Japanese beer. Kirin, Asahi, & Sapporo are not special at all. Not exactly pig swill but definitely not worthy of "loving". It's like saying Miller or Budweiser here in the states! - It really doesn't make a difference if you're drinking it from a can, bottle, or licking it off the bar. It's still MEDIOCRE beer either way.

If you want to try A GREAT Japanese beer than try the Hitachino line of ales from the Kiuchi Brewery in Japan. I highly recommend the White Ale or the Red Rice Ale. Their greatest ales are not even imported! So if you're in Shibuya (or any of the other 22 special wards in Tokyo) pick me up a case of XH! I'll pay handsomely for it! :pimp

-Here's a not so quick note on Sake for those who don't know much about Sake but enjoy Sushi & would like to know more about this great fermented beverage. When you order Sake there's a 97.4% chance it is going to be shit quality sake (only 2.6% of Sake in the World is premium grade) served to you in a Tokkuri (Sake flask) that has been warmed up. Warming up Sake is more of a traditional thing and does not really do anything to enhance the flavor of the Sake. -UNLESS the Sake is shit quality! Less advanced production methods in the old time Japan yielded tons of impurities in the Sake. So to mask the flavor they would heat up the Sake prior to serving in order to release the more enjoyable aspects of the beverage. However, all premium Sakes today are best enjoyed chilled and usually go for about 80 bucks per 720ml bottle (shop prices so expect to pay almost 2x as much at a restaurant. So be wary when ordering Sake by the Tokkuri because the people serving it 9 out of 10 times will figure you for an uncultured/uneducated/wannabe hipster westerner who wouldn't know the difference. Unpasteurized Sake will go bad quickly (bad Sake will taste how rotting fruits smell) so if you order Sake make sure to order a Junmai Daiginjo-shu or a Nigori and make sure it's from a fresh bottle! :thumbsup

Good beer!

Those cans are so heavy that every time I finish one I keep trying to take another sip. They never feel empty.

Ask anyone from any country in the world about the beer you know from that country, and they will tell you it is shit... This isn't just a Japanese beer thing, pretty much any international beer you can think of has way better choices in those countries. Why bring it up?

If it's a 97.4% chance, then why the hate? Obviously this means that most of us will never have the opportunity to even order the "premium grade" stuff.

Oh shut the fuck up with that pretentious bullshit. Every alcohol thread has to have at least one of you douchebags in it. I have had some of the "finest" beers in the world. Does that mean I can't enjoy a Bud Light from time to time? I have had $150 sushi dinners. Does that mean I can't ever go to Red Lobster again? I love fillet mignon. That doesn't mean that I can't go to Outback and enjoy a $12 steak dinner.

Even though most of us know the difference between the good stuff and cheap shit, sometimes we just want a luke warm chili dog and a Bud Light in a soggy paper cup.

I'm afraid you don't know what you're talking about here.

How about you go & join beer advocate or perhaps pick up a few books on beer. Then you can speak with intelligence on this subject instead of spouting off like a common beerfly that doesn't know any better.

Sapporo is a MASS produced beer! Any MASS produced beer is going to be inferior to anything made in smaller batches with better quality ingredients. -Not to mention better brewmasters! It has nothing to do with one's own preference. QUALITY ALWAYS BEATS QUANTITY (unless you're a lousy alcholic)


WHAT??????????? Never have the opportunity to order premium grade? You must not have read my whole post. It's a fucking 80 dollar bottle! You can't afford that??? Yes 97.4% of the Sake out there is shit. You just have to push the shit aside in order to grab at the Junmai type Sake. The premium stuff is available in just about any major city. I can walk a couple blocks and pick up a bottle anytime.

I loved your idiotic comment. I'm betting you're the uncultured/uneducated/wannabe hipster retard who's been drinking all the shitty Sake at the Sushi joints and then bragging to your friends about it.

I'm sure you had the "finest" beers in the world! Lol! Oh-no! You've had $150 dollar sushi dinners (try spending close to 600 USD on a Sushi dinner for two you fucking idiot)? Look out! I'm impressed! HAHAHAHAHHA~! Enjoy your Red Lobster, shitty outback steaks, and shoving those chilli dogs down your gullet you fucking slob. -LOL!

So you let what you choose to consume define who you are? Now that's shallow and pathetic at any price.

Sounds like someone's daddy missed a lot of little league games when he was a boy. :1orglaugh

That's the best you've got?

LAME!

Try your weak pseudo psychoanalysis on the retards who are impressed with your tales of $150 Sushi dinners!

-I'm done with you now. :Kissmy

You're done with me already? I clearly touched a nerve.

Talk about lame.

Its not bad beer but Tiger beer from Thailand is my all time fav:thumbsup:thumbsup

LMAO $600 on a sushi dinner for two, that is the definition of an idiot.

Oh please! -LoL!

You clearly give yourself too much credit. What's would have been your next come back? A your mother's so fat joke? Not only are you an uncultured/uneducated/wannabe hipster retard but you're also a fucking HACK! LOL! :1orglaugh

Not everything in this world is as cheap as the whores from Manila. I guess you've never visited Nobu Matsuhisa's restaurant in NYC.

Looks like we have +2 for uncultured/uneducated/wannabe hipster retards here. :upsidedow

I've been to the one in Beverly Hills and their sushi is $6 - $9 per order... go post your bullshit elsewhere jackass.

Then you're not eating SUSHI GRADE FISH! You're truely are one of the uncultured/uneducated/wannabe hipster retards! Look it up you wannabe Beverly Hills douche bag. -hhahahhaha

I don't drink nothing but German beer. Tried dutch beer but nothing comes close to German beer. And one of the best beers is this:

Forget about Becks, Warsteiner, Paulaner, Erdinger! (all not bad though)

Uh, it's the same fucking restaurant dipshit, their most expensive dish is the Chef Specials which ranges from $90 - $150 per person.

Keep trying to tell yourself how great you are, hopefully you will believe it, cuz no one else does.

You got me. Everyone knows how you and your fellow sophisticates use "LOL" in their daily vocabulary. Did they teach you that at Harvard? It's hilarious that someone like you would call me uncultured or uneducated. The only thing worse than a snob is a wannabe snob.

I don't care what you believe. appetizer, sushi, main dish, dessert, saki, & tip = almost 600 USD. I'm so sorry you could only afford the lunch specials! Perhaps next time you should save up some of your pennies so that when you go to "the big city" you can try something of quality.

Never said I went to Harvard, but I'm betting you don't even have any University education. :upsidedow

On a side note: Did any of you catch the Bluefin Tuna segment on "60 Minutes" last week. Click here to see the story.

A $600.00 sushi dinner consists of the Cream of the Crop of Tuna. Some Bluefins bring in over 20K each if they have the highest fat content possible.

Comercial fisherman are about to exterminate this species from our oceans.

It won't be much longer and you will have no more Bluefins.

Huge schools of Bluefin tuna are spotted by fisherman using "Spotter Planes" (VERY ILLEGAL)

and then their fishing fleets are scrambled in to surround the school with huge circular nets. 10's of thousands of fish are caught in one swoop.

They then keep the fish caged up and fattened up until a mass harvest takes place by simply just closing in on their nets.

Most all goes to Japan.

The species will be wiped out soon.

One of my favourite beers...though it's about $8-9 bucks a can here in Australia.

-I think that'll shut these morons up.

On my last trip to Brisbane I was mostly drinking the standard bitters at the local pubs. However, I was able to pick up a case of "Coonawarra Old Ale" -can't find it anywhere here in the states. But it's a GREAT ale! You should try looking it up I'm sure you'll be pleased with it. I'm hoping Australia starts importing the stuff soon!

I doubt anything could make your ignorant ass shut up.

:1orglaugh I was agreeing with you moron, I was just saying it's common knowledge and you don't have to post this in every thread, everyone already knows this.



That's not what I said, maybe you should reread. I don't know anything about sake, you're the one who listed the 97.4% figure. What I meant was, why come out and post a global attack on anyone who drinks sake if you know the chances of getting premium stuff are so low.

Oh wow, why did I even bother replying to this tool.

LOL, when were you in Brisbane you lying fuck? Seems weird you would get a case of beer made by a brewery that doesn't exist anymore, and hasn't for quite some time.
