Japanese Beer

[ECR033]

Just wondering what's the Japanese beer of choice?

A few mates and I are going to some beer factory place to set down a few brews next week and wouldn't mind trying one of the Japanese/Asian style beers that they have available...see list below:

Japanese:

Kirin Ichiban Lager

Sapporo Lager

Asahi (i've tried this before - quite liked it)

Asahi Dry

Asian:

Tiger Lager

Singha

Tsing Tao

Ching Hua

Any recommendations?

Cheers

Hmm...

- Kirin... you can drink this all day and still finish the nite with 10 or so G&Ts

- Tiger is very nice...it got 'international beer of the year' 4 years ago if I remember correctly and was actually originally brewed in japan anyway

- Asahi you just gotta luv it... end of story!

- Singha...I drink this all the time as my GF is thai much like the beer and I think its a pretty potent substance of over 6% with a nice taste.

The rest... I couldn't care any less!

Can't recommend Kirin enough! I love the stuff!

Asahi & Sapporo.

Kirin is a great beer if you want something very smooth, light and easy to drink.

Only tried Sapporo Asahi super dry and tiger

I'll say Sapporo

[NYL83R]

Singha is Tops!

also like Asahi (any)

watch out for beer that isn't really beer.....read the cans

[akeenan]

taste them all!

but asahi super dry is my favourite

[DCD]

Yebisu all the way!

Some of the seasonal beers are also pretty good

[shiro240]

Yebisu all the way!

Some of the seasonal beers are also pretty good

I've never tried Yebisu, as it's a bit hard to find and pricier than some of the others, but I've heard it's quite good.

I'm ashamed to say it, but I usually drink whatever's cheapest here, so it's usually a toss up between Draft One and Nodogoshi!

Nothing better than Sapporo Black Label or the Good old Asahi Super Dry!

I like kirin ichiban shibori in this list.

however, the most favorite beer is GINGA KOGEN BEER.

Thanks for the recommendations...looks like I might have to try all the Japanese beers cause everyone seems to like them all

Suntory Premium Malts for me

[DaiOni]

I love malts on tap, but it seems shit out of the can, for some reason.

I always come back to super dry.

Stay away from happoshu - fake beer (such as asahi in the red cans and blue cans) - comes with a killer hangover.

Tiger

Kirin is my favourite in your list, but I enjoy all the others too.

I was in China at the start of the year and tried an interesting beer called "Snow" which was quite nice.

[Whiplash]

asahi is my favorite beer

haven't tried the kirin yet will have to have a look for some

[sigsputnik]

asahi super dry is the roxor. my gf prefers kirin!

I also love Sapporo in the big cans but to tell you the truth even in the town of Sapporo they drink Asahi by the bucket full.... I'm easy personally.
