RobBright 35 Posted August 25, 2012 Author Share Posted August 25, 2012 Dunno. Am too busy drinking it and watching some 24 hr gibbons on tv. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 25, 2012 Share Posted August 25, 2012 Sounds like fun. Couldnt find, can imagine its not simple to send beer like that anyway. Some kind souls just needs to send some to our UK friends! Link to post Share on other sites

Thundercat 60 Posted September 2, 2012 Share Posted September 2, 2012 Back on the beers yesterday. We went to Gotemba Kogen Beer Kingdom festival to sample some different brews. Lots of fun. Link to post Share on other sites
nagoid 4 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 Damn I wanted to go there. Did you have to pay by beer, or how did it work? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 No, there are several different ticket packs you buy. Once you are inside you trade tickets for beer and food. Pints tend to be 2 tickets, so about 600¥. If you check out the Gotemba beer website they have a list of the ticket packs. We are planning on going again next weekend. It goes on until the 9th.

Thundercat 60 Posted September 3, 2012 Share Posted September 3, 2012 The best beer I had all day was a dunkel style from a brewery called Fuji Sakura Kogen. They had loads of great bottles too but the details are a little hazy... Link to post Share on other sites
