hellyer 216 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Absolutely stinking hot here in Queensland this week so I decided to start serious training for my upcoming Myoko trip. I'm almost through that box of Asahi Superdry I always like to pre- aclimatize Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 you'ree acclimatizing with the bad stuff. Try Suntory Malts. That goes in the shitty beer thread. Tastes like washing up liquid and is pish. Link to post Share on other sites
surfarthur 22 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I have been trying to find proper Japanese beer in Aus for a while, the Sapporo classic we get here is brewed under license in Canada, the Asahi is brewed in Tailand, are there any beers imported into Australia that actually come from Japan?

RobBright 35 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 How about Kirin, or is thar under license too? Link to post Share on other sites
surfarthur 22 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 I will have to check. Looking forward to arriving on Saturday, plenty of different beers to choose from. Which one first? Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 I will have to check. Looking forward to arriving on Saturday, plenty of different beers to choose from. Which one first? First Try the 地ビール - local microbrewery, then Sapporo Classic, Ebisu Kohaku, Regular Ebisu, Kirin Classic, Kirin Ichiban, Sapporo Regular then Asahi Super Dry, and if you can get it Aki-aji.

surfarthur 22 Posted January 10, 2012 Share Posted January 10, 2012 Would love to find some Aki-aji, but it might be hard to come by. Thanks for the recommendations Man Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 Where is your first port of call? Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted January 10, 2012 Author Share Posted January 10, 2012 There should be a Lawson's in Shin Chitose, or was it a 7/11, anyway, just go beer crazy in there. They had a fair few microbrews and Sapporo Classics. Please send some my way. Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted January 11, 2012 Share Posted January 11, 2012 What's the best "ski town" jibiiru then? I like the Shiga Kogen one. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted January 11, 2012 Author Share Posted January 11, 2012 Echigo Stout and the Red Ale are both good tipples. Karuizawa Moon Ale as well. Never had that Shiga Kogen beer - what kind of beers do they make Klingon? Link to post Share on other sites
