snowbender 3 Posted May 18, 2012 Share Posted May 18, 2012 Are there any widget beers in Japan? Can't recall ever having one..... Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Guinness has a big plastic ball inside it to do the same thing. It gives a can poured Guinness quite a good head Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 A widget. It contains nitrogen gas that when released, creates a frothy head. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 Caffreys, Murphys and another one I saw in Yokohama, all have widgets. I think. Link to post Share on other sites
hellyer 216 Posted May 19, 2012 Share Posted May 19, 2012 Floating widget Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted May 19, 2012 Author Share Posted May 19, 2012 That's not really floating though is it? Link to post Share on other sites

snowbender 3 Posted May 21, 2012 Share Posted May 21, 2012 With the widget question, I kind of meant Japanese beers not imports from overseas....... Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted May 22, 2012 Author Share Posted May 22, 2012 With the widget question, I kind of meant Japanese beers not imports from overseas....... Haven't heard of any. Japanese beer tends to be lager based, rather than ale based so no need for them. Link to post Share on other sites
Karnidge 2 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I found an autumn beer in our fridge last night, the drink by date on it is March 2012. Reckon it's still good to go? Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted May 23, 2012 Author Share Posted May 23, 2012 Asahi Super Dry are running a new campaign. On the 25th of every month, shops will sell beer that was made within the last three days i.e. 22nd to 25th, to guarantee factory fresh taste. Wonder if it will stay taste of nothing?

muikabochi 208 Posted May 23, 2012 Share Posted May 23, 2012 I had some of that last month (I think?). Tasted pretty much as usual to me. Link to post Share on other sites
