RobBright 35 Posted August 19, 2013 Share Posted August 19, 2013 Thanks for reminding me, GG. Just ordered two cases of bottles. Remember fellow bottle purchasers. Return those bottles and cases to get some money towards your net Akiaji purchase. Link to post Share on other sites

big-will 7 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Bought a case myself yesterday. Tasted very AkiAji-ish to me. Lovely. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 21, 2013 Author Share Posted August 21, 2013 OK I bought my load. 2 cases of bottles and 2 boxes of large cans. I reckon that might be enough. Everyone else now has permission to buy...... Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I haven't bought much beer over the last 10 months since I started brewing my own. For Akiaji I decided to make an exception and got a case. I'm also looking forward to Kohaku to be released! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Ah!! Me too. I like Kohaku more than Aki-aji In looking forward to enjoying a nice amber jar or 2 of Kohaku in winter whilst watching it puke down snow outside Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It is on sale everywhere or just selected places/stores? Link to post Share on other sites
muikabochi 208 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 I'm sure you'll find it in most large beer-selling shops. Be sure you don't buy the rubbish 'copycat' ones though with scandalously similar names and designs. It's Kirin Aki Aji you want. Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 So not at conbinis then?? I might have to go out for a recce!! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 It is on sale everywhere or just selected places/stores? Everywhere. Just beware of crappo-shu immitations like Muika said Link to post Share on other sites
Mick Rich 78 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Cheers TB! How's Hokkaido treating you? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Not too badly I have to say! Sapporo is a fantastic place to drink beer. It's been a tad more humid lately than I expected but nothing like Shonan. Link to post Share on other sites
nagpants 1 Posted August 21, 2013 Share Posted August 21, 2013 Love the design, as well as the beer. Though I think the 2011 vintage was best (design wise) Taste wise is it exactly the same every year? Link to post Share on other sites
HighlyTrainedNovaTeacher 2 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 What's Kohaku like, is that a darker beer? Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted August 22, 2013 Share Posted August 22, 2013 It's an amber ale. Link to post Share on other sites
tokabochi 9 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 That one is a bit too strong/bitter for my liking. Link to post Share on other sites
grungy-gonads 54 Posted August 23, 2013 Author Share Posted August 23, 2013 I'll no doubt have a few packs of Kohaku as well. Akiaji is the best though. Link to post Share on other sites
onsen tamago 0 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Aki Aji sure is popular on here! It is a nice beer, I will probably buy a few packs. Back to those imitations though, surprised they can get away with it. Do they have no shame, copying stuff like that. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted August 23, 2013 Share Posted August 23, 2013 Kirin do it as well Link to post Share on other sites
