Either you don't realize it sucks, or your being a "Japanese anything fan boy"

I spent some time there, and it was almost all bad.

i dont know about you, but i like all kinds of beers, not just the japanese. all foreign beers would cost more.

Some people are willing to shell out a few more bucks for a more authentic dining experience. If that's what the people who make the food drink with the food, why not give it a try?

Also, we all have different taste buds. Some people like Circus Peanuts, I think they taste like shit, but I still see them at 7/11.

Probably not that authentic because most of them are Korean/Chinese owned and operated. I guess I see what you mean though, Japanese restaurant/Japanese beer, Mexican Restaurant/Mexican beer etc.

Anyway, when I do drink beer I usually drink Molson Canadian. (Not saying it's the best)

This is a fair enough criticism.

Most Japanese beer isn't anything terribly special compared to domestic beer, although it can be a little less astringent (to my palate).

It definitely isn't worth it if it's double the price. If it's $6 instead of $5, depending on the domestics available, sometimes I'll get it.

EXCEPTION: If you can find "Orion", buy it.

Tsingtao is really good though (obviously not Japanese). I don't think it has any dead-ringer domestic equivalent.

Also, your Canadian domestics are a hair better than most of ours, IMO. Labatt Blue is better than any Japanese beer other than Orion by a WIDE margin.

i've been reading through the whole thread and no one has given props ro san miguel/light or red horse.. both FTW!!

ronmcdon · 09-21-2009, 12:22 AM

We do have some decent authentic Japanese restaurants out here in Socal.
Places called Urasawa and Asanebo are both Michelin Star rated.
IIRC, ESMORZ lives somewhere in Van Nuys, which has some good sushi spots in closeby Encino & Studio City.

'Maybe' Vancouver is another story.
I've had good meals when visiting there, but never tried any Japanese, authentic or otherwise.
Good Cantonese fare out there though, better than socal in general imo.

my new favorite beer ever.

Howard92884 · 09-22-2009, 02:28 AM

Love me some Samuel Adams.

Haven't been able to drink a lot of beer since being over here. But when I do get to drink I like to try a lot of the micro brews.

WISH ONE · 09-22-2009, 04:33 PM

I actually ended up liking Molson alot more then I thought. I stayed in Mississauga when i went to canada and there is a Molson brewery there,really good. Its really affordable as well.

I couldnt get into Tsingtao, Im not trying to Diss anyones beer but... It tasted horrible to me,to each his own.

I have never had the Cherry wheat^^^ looks really good. does it taste anything like summer ale or Octoberfest?

It tastes ALOT like cherry. Personally its WAY to fruity for me. And I prefer Octoberfest over Summer Ale anyday! But Boston Lager is better than both of them

xpertsnowcarver · 09-26-2009, 04:31 AM

Damn, just came back from Oktoberfest... shit was fun. Shame all the cute broads were with someone. Anyways, that Spaten Gold Lager (5.2%) is the best I've had yet. They had a Seasonal Dark Lager (5.9%), which was great too. Was able to get a free mug. I sucked at all the contests... blow up a balloon till it pops, yodel, chicken dance...
If your in SoCal, you guys need to go.

Went to the bar with my best friend after, added a couple Blue Moons to the night. Still buzzin'.. had a slice of Hawaiian bread (<<<Oh man.. best bread ever), going to bed now.

what were the brews (& other drinks) they had over there?
Spaten is hard to go wrong with.
Hope they had Der Optimator.
Please tell us more.

Think this is the place you were referring to;
http://www.alpinevillage.net/oktoberfest.htm

Oktoberfest deserves a thread of it's own.
Think pretty much most cities have some sort of Oktoberfest going on.
If not, that's just not civilized.

Here are 2 more Oktoberfest Festivals that I'm aware of in Socal;

Downtown Los Angeles Oktoberfest, Oct 10th
http://www.laoktoberfest.com/

Big Bear Lake Oktoberfest, Weekends from now to Oct 31st.
