Karnidge 2 Posted July 8, 2014 Share Posted July 8, 2014 Had some Sapporo Black label last night not had any of that for a long time. Was nice, more bitter than I remember. They don't seem to advertise that do they? I can't recall seeing any ads for it recently anyway. Link to post Share on other sites

Slippery Jim 65 Posted July 10, 2014 Share Posted July 10, 2014 According to Kyodo there's been quite a letdown by the SnowJapan gang this year: Total shipments of beer and beer-like drinks in Japan fell 1.2 percent in the first half of 2014 from a year earlier to a record low of 196.85 million cases, largely on poor weather, data released by five major brewers showed Thursday.

Great day up at Bankei, when we got back, Maruyama was having it's summer festival so had a few beers and some food on urasando.....shame I've work to get up for tomorrow. They weren't pints.....more like 280-300mls.....but actually was pretty good not slamming them back.
