If you're gonna go to the expense of importing Japanese booze, you may as well make it something worthwhile like whisky.

The Japanese beer marker is very cool I have written many articles about it. Did you know that until 1995 you couldn't open a brewery unless you were going to produce 200,000 hectolitres? Now it's 10,000 litres. Asahi, Sapporo, Suntory and Kirin control 90% of the Japanese beer marker. Craft beer in Japanese is 'craftu biiru' There are 120 craft breweries in Japan! Craft beer makes up only 3% of the market but is growing fast! Beer in Japan has higher tax for higher malt content so cheap beer is called 'Saposhu' and is made with 70% pea sugar. Beer was brought to Japan in the late 1800s by Dutch traders. Beer is Japan's most popular drink since 1950s! And their consumption is one of the highest in the world! After Asahi releases super dry they claimed over 80% market share in a couple of years after having 10% previously. Up until Asahi most Japanese beer drunk was western-style ales and it was drunk by old mens Consumers loved super dry as it had a crisp flavour which cleaned the palate, and so complimented all the international, strong flavoured foods that took off in Japan in the 1980s Hitachino is nice and one of the few Japanese beers you can get abroad. My favourite is white ale. Try their special cherry blossom brew.

Anybody ever bring some beers in checked luggage, in the unpressurized section of the plane? I brought some beers over from Belgium once and they kept exploding when I opened them. I don't know if it's from being at 40,000 feet or just got jolted around too much.

I just looked it up to double check but the luggage hold is also pressurized just like the rest of the plane, and I think at like .5 bar or .8 bar or something that is equivalent to 10,000 feet, that goes for the whole fuselage. Now weather or not it's heated down there is another one. It might get really frickin' cold down there and freezing of beer will pop the top or cause a leak or even shatter the whole drat bottle!  edit: according to one source it still doesn't get below freezing in the cargo hold. numberoneposter fucked around with this message at 04:57 on Jun 6, 2019 |

a goon whose family runs a brewery was my secret santa gifter a number of years ago and they couldn't figure an easy way to ship booze internationally so if a UK brewer decided it was too much trouble i have a feeling the average goon will too

numberoneposter posted:I drank Chang beer for a whole month in Thailand and make fun of "craft" beer all you want but the variety is great. Not around here. 10 years ago when the craft beer biz was just taking off the varieties coming out were incredible, but now it's just IPAs with various weird poo poo added in. it's never a flavor that successfully overcomes the nasty IPA flavor. I'm not making any of these up, some of the flavors I've seen have been Tangerine IPA, strawberry milkshake IPA, a coconut orange sprinkles IPA, and of course, every brewer makes a double IPA. And that's sprinkles, as in what you put on ice cream. I love variety, but all of these taste like various different types of puke.

I've successfully checked an entire suitcase filled with nothing but beer on a plane, twice. Each time I put every can in a freezer bag just to be safe, and each time none of them burst.

Pacifico, which is similar to Corona but actually good, is one example that comes to mind.
