I would honestly lick someones ass for a beer right now :'( No money until tomorrow :'(

Found a place MUCH closer to my home which has a decent beer selection. Still starts around ¥260/can for drinkable beer, and ¥580 for bottles of "the really good stuff," but I'll take it while I can. Also they have both Kyara and Ruri by COEDO brewery, which are very good. The Kyara lager is very smooth and delicate, with some fruity flavors... Yummy.

Then again, I am trying to enjoy more sake while I'm in Japan, so I bought a big bottle of junmaiginjo, which has given me a fucker of a headache today. Time for a walk in the sun.

If you try Geek's Breakfast by a little gypsy brewery somewhere in the USA, you can pay US$13 for the feeling of having accomplished both at the same time: you'll have had a beer which tastes like licking someone's ass.

Yeah, Seattle had good coffee and good beer before the rest of the west coast. I think I had Red Hook ESB on tap at some Fremont place in '90 or so. Yummy.

Tried to order a beer at the yakitori place last night, but the chef knew I was coming and had sake on standby for me. Great night, but no Untappd update.

Sake is brewed. I think you can check it in on Untappd. I've seen root beer and mead, so I'm guessing sake is there, too.

Look at that, you can! It's considered "Speciality Grain."

Cantillon is plentiful in Canada. Sits on the shelves in Vancouver for months.

We don't get it in WA, Shelton Brothers are a bunch of dicks and left the state a couple years back.

Tried peach lambic finally (after checking it out at stores forever.) It's pretty good. Very sweet, but it goes down and stays down way better than cider, wine, wine coolers, hard lemonade, etc.

Lindemann's? They put sugar in their beer, so it's not a great example of the actual Lambic style. More like Kool-Aid beer.

More beer last night than I've had since leaving California.

I had several Japanese craft beer IPAs which I had never even heard of:
Hokkaido's North Island IPA from the eponymous brewery, and Shonan's Topaz IPA, which may have been my winner for the evening. I also had American Brewery's Breakaway IPA, which was smooth and beautiful, but had a hard time keeping up with the force of the first beer. Two of each of all those. I also had AmericanBlonde, which was a sour beer, and I abandoned it after only a few sips -- nine bucks sacrificed to my curiosity, would have preferred another Topaz.

Saturday night:

Boneyard Hop Venom Imperial IPA
Good Life Descender IPA
Two Beers Forester Imperial IPA
Laughing Dog Hop Dog Pale Ale
Three Floyds Stackk and Stabb Belgian Pale Ale
Block 15 Ferme de la Provisionne Saison
Hillard's Saison

Suffice to say I was hungover on Sunday. Couldn't keep anything down until 9pm last night. Ugh. Hadn't done that in years.

I can go to Fred Meyer and get a 22 oz. bottle of American Blonde for $3. And it's a Blonde/Golden ale, not a sour. Something must have been wrong with the keg they shipped to Osaka...

chronovore · « **Reply #98 on:** February 18, 2013, 06:20:35 PM »

The beer I had was remarkably sour, like someone had lemon in levels of sour! I believe you that it's a blonde ale-- the name only makes sense that way. And, yeah, craft beer in Japan is stupid expensive! I did the math once, and at the time, with the exchange rate what it was then, it was a 750% markup.

I remember the pints at Baird in Harajuku were 1,100 yen.

chronovore · « **Reply #100 on:** February 18, 2013, 10:40:30 PM »

At kamikaze, it was as follows:

small ¥650
1/2 pint ¥750
pint (US) ¥1100
pint (UK) ¥1300
...there was one more, called a mantel, or a meter or something, it was ¥1800 or ¥1900.

Next time, I'll probably get a big-ass pint of Shonan Topaz, and call it a night.

On Sunday, I brewed up some Kolsch style beer (it was an ingredient kit I got for Christmas). This is my first crack at it, so we'll see how it turns out in a couple weeks. After that, I also have some Imperial Pale Ale I can brew, and then an Irish Red Ale that came with my kit. For the first batch, I'll settle for "drinkable."

Huff · « **Reply #104 on:** February 19, 2013, 03:03:50 PM »

Mystic Peach - utterly crap. All the subtlety of a Bartles and Jaymes wine cooler.
