scouser 4 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 Might try and get there. Beer. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 I'd like to go there someday. Unfortunately, I'm just getting over a rather serious illness so won't be drinking any time soon. Is it expensive? There are no prices listed on their homepages. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted October 10, 2012 Author Share Posted October 10, 2012 Hmmm yes and no. You'd pay 2300yen for a litre of edwinger weiB beer, which is about the same for 3 bottles in a very good import shop in Japan. We had that, a four beer sampler and a black beer, with a sausage played and paid about 6000 for all of that, and we thought it was reasonable. Next year BM, you can stay at mine.

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 10, 2012 Share Posted October 10, 2012 or generally 1000￥ for a pint of beer. Yokohama brewery has some tasty ones as does Sankt-Gallen....in fact this stall is my favourite. I saw them at a beer and food event in Tokyo Big Sight earlier this year but the same beer was only 600￥ a pint....obviously cashing in at the Oktoberfest Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 really tiny guys with orange faces playing the penny whistle and tea box (He meant an Oompah band.........brass band music, heavy into the trombone, hence the "oompah" bit) Link to post Share on other sites

RobBright 35 Posted October 18, 2012 Author Share Posted October 18, 2012 It's perhaps the best Long Island Ice Tea ever made. Tubby can vouch for it. On a beer note, Ebisu Kohaku is out now. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 18, 2012 Share Posted October 18, 2012 Yes, I was just coming here to say that I bought a case. Apparently my coworker was so excited about this that he is planning a drinking party this Sunday to celebrate Link to post Share on other sites
