Chriselle 158 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 So...beer drinkers ... What's your take on the Japanese beers? On another forum there is a battle going on with some saying Japanese beers are great while others are saying it's crap compared to the "real" european beers. Especially interested to hear what you Brits have to say about it. As you can tell, I'm not a huge aficionado. Link to post Share on other sites
RobBright 35 Posted February 2, 2012 Author Share Posted February 2, 2012 It's drinkable. Mass produced European beers - crap. Mass produced Japanese beers - crap. European Micro breweries - Great. Japanese Micro breweries - Great. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 I like lots of Japanese beers. But I do enjoy guzzling on some good old English ales when I'm back in England. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I like Japanese beer. If its mass produced Japanese vs mass produced anywhere then I'll have the Japanese. The microbrews I've had here are great too. British lager is shite....but the ales and dark beers are great. Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I'd like to try this one Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I love the names of some of the local brew you find around Britain. Looking at the 4% alcohol content, it seems low but whenever I drink only ale back home, I get absolutely bladdered quicker than on stronger lager. Dunno how that works.

grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Still want to try the Dog's Bollocks. Link to post Share on other sites

Tubby Beaver 209 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 no.....its all in pints (remember only ladies drink less than a pint at home), you drink at the same speed regardless of alcohol content......but ale seems to get you mangled before lager....its not just me, but I've noticed it in many a guy.........mind you it seem to be a "younger" thing and by younger, I mean 28+.......everyone knows no one REALLY likes ale before they reach 28 Link to post Share on other sites
klingon 10 Posted February 5, 2012 Share Posted February 5, 2012 I agree, ale/bitter seems to get me knocked out quicker than lager. Seems to. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

BillTheBinMan 0 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 Fried bread. What a bad idea it is. But it can be real nice. Is there a diet variety? Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted February 12, 2012 Share Posted February 12, 2012 It can be VERY bad. It can also be pretty goddam good too. Link to post Share on other sites
