Yuki's Passion 1 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Id love to try all of those pie eater...look delish! Drank Kirin's 秋味 last night for the first time this year - quite pleased. Very nice flavor with a little kick to it at 6%. Of all Japan's mass produced, non micro variety, I think its my favorite. I wonder if Ginga Kogen (from Yamagata??) would be considered a mass produced? Quite enjoy their white Link to post Share on other sites
gerard 6 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 I think it's from Iwate maybe. Good stuff. Better in a bottle than can. Seems like most J-micro brews are REALLY MICRO, except for Ginga Kogen. Link to post Share on other sites

I think I can get that here - but I wanna be sure it's good before I spend $8 getting it. What is it? a special bitter or something else? I would assume it is very popular in NZ....haha Its a good session beer (IMO), after a few pints I start to speak northern. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 they got the widget in it right? Ales in cans-with-widgets are probably the exception to my rule, Guinness in a can is pretty good, not as good as draught but a damn sight better than bottles. Haven't drunk Boddingtons in AGES...mmmmm....quite fancy one right now... Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted August 27, 2010 Share Posted August 27, 2010 Yes they do. Dad bought 24 cans for when I was home. They were pretty much gone by the time I was on my way back. He helped just a bit. Link to post Share on other sites
