Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 3, 2014 Share Posted October 3, 2014 Is there some special Japanese for that "special winter brew", Tubby? Not that I am short of beer at the moment! It was written in English Although there is some Kanji blurb next to it from what I can remember......in the name of science and SJ-comradeship, I'll track down more cans and find out for you later today.....after I sober up from last night.....the things I do for you, Muika!

Slippery Jim 65 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Grolsh for Y118? Not a great beer but I'd go for that. Link to post Share on other sites
Thundercat 60 Posted October 4, 2014 Share Posted October 4, 2014 Yeah not the best beer but at that price you can look like a cool guy bringing beer for everyone at your coworkers BBQ on a Saturday afternoon. If that's the kind of thing you are into... Looking cool and all that. Link to post Share on other sites

muikabochi 208 Posted October 5, 2014 Author Share Posted October 5, 2014 Thanks Tubby, rather uninspiring design. I like design stuff. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 It's kinda uninspiring beer.....it's ok, doesn't taste bad but isn't any stand out.....just a run of the mill lager Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 Fuyumonogatari ain't nothing special. Thats been on the shelves for years Didn't say it was special .....every winter it's on the shelves **well actually it seems I did say "special".....but didn't mean it in that "it's awesome" way.....????

grungy-gonads 54 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I think I'd rather stock up on more autumn ones while they are available, Thanks for testing though! Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 5, 2014 Share Posted October 5, 2014 I thought it said "special edition" but it said "limited edition" Link to post Share on other sites

tokabochi 9 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I had some of that Sapporo, like tubby said ok nothing special Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I usually buy cheaper beer, but among ji-biru, Captain Crow from Toumi, Nagano is my new favourite. Its super florally citrusy hoppy, a long way away from mainstream Japanese beer. Seiyu currently have Hoegaarten for 215 yen, so the same price as Yebisu. The Spitfire round here has shrunk to 330ml bottles though. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Yeah SEIYU has shrunk the spitfire, golden ale, gentleman james etc to 330ml but the same price.....a tad cheeky IMO Link to post Share on other sites
pie-eater 207 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Do we reckon they need to be is censed and apologise issue? Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 I think a good ol' censing and apologising issue is definitely on the cards Link to post Share on other sites
NoFakie 45 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 Definitely! They did it without warning too, so I never got my 100 bottles in. The Hoegaarden is definitely hitting the spot though. I didn't notice before but Seiyu also do "milk chocolate honeycomb bites", which are basically cinder toffee like a Crunchie, only in big nugget form with more surface area and therefore more chocolate. I went in the last time determined to resist the very tempting and entirely yummy fruit'n'nut chocolate but came away with them instead. Link to post Share on other sites
Tubby Beaver 209 Posted October 8, 2014 Share Posted October 8, 2014 yes, I have been enjoying them for the last year and a half They also do salt n vinegar kettle crisps…..mmmmm!! Link to post Share on other sites
