pie-eater 207 Posted August 1, 2010 Share Posted August 1, 2010 So you can say... New and improved! Better! Tastier! Stronger! More autumny-er! Something-else-ier! Link to post Share on other sites
BagOfCrisps 24 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 Would they interchange some of these seasonal beers in different cans and anyone notice the difference? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted August 2, 2010 Share Posted August 2, 2010 I can't really tell much of a difference with the normal beers (Asahi, Sapporo, etc) Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 3, 2010 Share Posted August 3, 2010 Lined up I can't tell much of a difference to be honest. Though I know I usually end up asking for Sapporo if it's a choice of the "main" ones. Probably just habit. Link to post Share on other sites
1 4 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Not keen on Asahi myself will always choose Kirin if there's a choice of the main ones. Those autumn ones always seem a little too strong for me. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 I usually choose Sapporo out of the mainstream brands, then Asahi then Kirin Link to post Share on other sites
oo 1 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Round these parts, seems most places offer Asahi. Not many championing Sapporo unfortunately, but it Is the one I woul go for. Link to post Share on other sites
Ezorisu 0 Posted August 4, 2010 Share Posted August 4, 2010 Originally Posted By: Tubby Beaver I usually choose Sapporo out of the mainstream brands, then Asahi then Kirin Ditto. Kirin on draught is not bad. Out of the bottle it is noticeably more vile. Link to post Share on other sites
big-will 7 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 I like Sapporo too. Funny it doesn't seem to get the share of the other two. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Am a kirin classic man, unless Sapporo classic is available. Link to post Share on other sites
r45 4 Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 Asahi is the worst. For some reason, it sells the most. Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 Went here last night: http://www.beerdrinkinginternational.com/ And had two of these: http://www.southerntierbrewing.com/beers.html 2xipa “4 types of hops & 3 types of malts†Not quite an imperial, but certainly not a standard India pale ale. Our double IPA is a hop lovers dream. Citrusy and clean with an incredible finish. 8.2% abv • Double India Pale Ale 12 oz (6 pack & 24 bottle case) / 1/2 keg / 1/6 keg Didn't realise at the time it was 8.2%....

grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I don't like such strong beers. They all bring back some awful Carlsberg Special Brew memories. Link to post Share on other sites
