A lawyer 0 Posted September 16, 2010 Share Posted September 16, 2010 Another fan of the 秋味 here. Love it. In fact, when will they stop selling that? I need to buy a case near the end of the run to last me. Link to post Share on other sites

iiyamadude 6 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 No bottles here either. The only bottles on sales in the shops round here are the main ones. No seasonal stuff. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted September 17, 2010 Share Posted September 17, 2010 If there's a choice between a bottle and can, I'd always go for the bottle. Link to post Share on other sites

Sometimes, there can be a metally taste to the beer if drunk from a can. Other times, the beer is just pish. couldn't have said it more eloquently!! Beer from a can is crap, in fact I can't think of 1 drink that tastes better from a can than a glass bottle. Draught beer is best, followed by bottled beer and lagging behind is canned beer. Thankfully beer doesn't get served in plastic bottles. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted September 18, 2010 Share Posted September 18, 2010 enjoying a few Nest Beer's from Ibaraki while sitting on my sun soaked balcony, the Pale Ale was quality, wasn't that impressed with the Weizen but I'l looking forward to the Amber Ale Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 Question about these limited beers. Anyone know how they do this? How limited are they? And until when will it be out in the shops? This aki aji doesn't seem to be out in much volume this year. All the ones I see have a "made in August" "drink by April 2011" date stamp. Perhaps they only do one big run and just sell it until it disappears? As it's ok until April I might just buy a box of 24 so I will have some in stock. Link to post Share on other sites
Nisoko 6 Posted September 19, 2010 Share Posted September 19, 2010 I think they make it all at once, limited number of cases. So you will be seeing less and less of it in the coming weeks. Winter beer should be with us next month! Link to post Share on other sites
