BEER! 21 and up

[Not You]

New castle is my favorite, anyone else?

I wonder why all these people are posting Japanese beers, unless they are actually Japanese or Asian etc. and your paying a lot more than you would for a domestic beer, that's way better (at least in Canada)

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.

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.
