There used to be a bar in the Arcadian that had it on tap (Bar Coast?). For Japanese lager, Asahi is the go to. Ashai was 2.80€ a bottle KI was 1.30€! Ashai is OK, think I've drank more of the black "dry" version and never quite been sure what a dry beer actually means, sapporo is decent too Ashai on tap is definitely one of those "oooooh you've got that on tap I'll have one of them" I've drank it in brum too but I can't think where Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This stuff used to be mine but back in the '80s the whole top used to come off leaving you with a can that you could drink like a glass. We used to throw that stuff down our necks after a gig 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Davkaus Posted March 3, 2021 Share Posted March 3, 2021 (edited) "Cream egg" will catch a lot of people's eyes, but it's a fairly tame vanilla and chocolate milk stout. Nobody would bat an eye at it if it wasn't for the branding. Edited March 3, 2021 by Davkaus 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Got you properly smashed. I think they reduced the potency of it over the years! The rumour I was told when over there is that the factories are unregulated. Meaning that some bottles you have will be as strong as hell and then others will be piss water. Just depends on the batch mixed that day. It certainly did feel like that over there. Id imagine the stuff that comes to the UK is very different though 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

San Miguel Light as well was lovely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StefanAVFC Posted March 6, 2021 Share Posted March 6, 2021 Whacked this one out today. Essentially double milk stout with kitkat. At 11% I imagine I'll be asleep soon 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Xela Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 Inspired by @villa4europe I had a large bottle of Kirin last night. Very nice. Available at Morrisons. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
villa4europe Posted March 7, 2021 Share Posted March 7, 2021 They still doing the 3 for £5 on the bottles of foreign beers? There's not many poor ones in there, warsteiner is a bad representative for Germany (bit gassy imo) if anything I'd like them to expand it, get some efes, VB, modelo etc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Possibly. I dunno. Like with the US Aus had a brewing revolution a while back and the small and medium sized breweries make some spectacular ales now. Mostly not available in the UK, but places like Majestik sell some of them. James Squires, Little Creatures (delivery van outside the Brewery below), Coopers - you can’t get their stout in the Uk, but it’s fantastic, and though an acquired taste Coopers Pale, which you can get, is decent. Seek them out and put the VB episode out of mind Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
