>>12745355

I don't get it

>>12745360
But it's so obvious. Why drink conventional tiny beer cans when you can just have giant beer cans that hold like 8 standard drinks?

They're decades ahead of us

>>12745364
Too bad jap beer is shit.

And that's too much beer.

>>12745364

Dude are you serious?

Buy a fucking keg of beer and connect a garden hose to it then.

>>12745371
>And that's too much beer.

What?

>>12745373

That looks shooped

>>12745375
I suspect it's not

Are you ZUN?

Also Japanese beer taste like carbonated water

>>12745392
Drinking won't really give you a gut. You get the gut when you drink after a big meal (to absorb all that alcohol).

>>12745441
No I am not zun sadly.

Nigga, just get a tall boy or large bottle of malt beer
This is what Americans drink instead of giant beer cans.
It's also higher alcohol content
I still wouldn't get beyond tipsy with that much asahi

>>12745447
Well, have fun with your liver dysfunctions by drinking gallons with empty stomach

>>12745515
>It's also higher alcohol content
I still wouldn't get beyond tipsy with that much asahi

There are people (aside for middle/highschoolers) who drink in order to get drunk instead that for the flavor?

>>12745564
Who would drink asahi for the flavor?

>>12745569
All beer tastes the same after the first 2 or 3.

>>12745577
No one aside for middle/highschoolers thinks all beer tastes the same

>>12745580
I'm 39 and after the first few you just don't care. Prime the pump with good beer and after that it just doesn't matter.

>>12745580
My favorite beers are the one that tastes like metal. They're usually light and goes well with grilled food.

>>12745585
you are funny man

You say you don't care about getting drunk and like the flavor instead, but then you don't seem to care about different flavors or kinds of beers

well whatever
perhaps your old man wisdom is lost on me

>>12745599
>You say you don't care about getting drunk and like the flavor instead

I said no such thing

>>12745599
I think what he meant was that you will be too drunk to care about flavor after the first few beers.

I wish I was enough of a light weight to get drunk off of a few beers. I would save so much more money on booze if I could.

>>12745612
That is kind of what I mean but I'm no lightweight. I go through 3-4 cartons of 5% a week despite being employed.

japanese drink fake beer, the third beer. it has relation to japanese alchol tax.
EU clame it as unfair.

As of now I like only top-fermented dark beer. I'm just getting into beers, any recomendations?

>>12745621
You probably can't get it but monteiths in new zealand do a dark chocolate and coffee flavored high strength beer. It comes in a carton labeled BLACK BEER

genuine beer is hjghly taxed in Japan.
Happou-syu, 2nd class beer is lower taxed.
I want to drink european genuine beer.

>>12745658
What do you mean by genuine beer?

>>12745664
It has to do with the malt content

>>12745373
>>12745379
It's not. Many places sell those Hoegaarden giant "glasses" of beer.

>>12745612
I agree. I like good tasting beer, mainly because I can drink enough that I DO still care about the flavor after the first few. I could save a lot of money if that wasn't the case.

>>12745906
Who cares about some insignificant minuscule nutrients in unfiltered beer? Sounds like an excuse fatasses make to drink more beer because it's "healthier", like diet soda.

>>12745960
>Sounds like an excuse fatasses make to drink more beer

Who needs an excuse?

I wish I had some beer, but it costs too much

I hate the smell of bear but I like the concept of drunk lolis

>>12746078
Bears don't exactly smell nice, yeah

>>12746082

I think wet bears smell the worst

dry beer doesn't smell all that much

This shit pretty much gets me through the weekend.
I have no idea how else people deal with the crushing loneliness of never having a loli GF.

Please drink beer

>>12745720

>>12746131
Tannenzäpfle is really nice.
I know that feel. Prost!

Well apart from individual differences, generally not being fat let's you get drunk faster.

>>12746131
Good choice, the smaller bottles are a bit meh though. I prefer Franziskaner though. Thank god beer is so cheap here.

>>12745658
Yeah, it's amazing how expensive a can of beer is in a supermarket or konbini. And then you have Nomihoudai places everywhere. where you can drink as much beer as you want for 500-1000 yen per hour.

Strong (western) booze on the other hand is cheaper in stores in Japan than here in Europe.

>>12745585
This is actually a good way to save cash. Buy a 24oz of something good like Lagunitas then buy a six pack of something shitty like pabst or bud. You're only 8 years older than me but your wisdom is leaps and bounds above mine.

What are some good old patriotic beers my fellow Americans drink on Black Friday?

are you even American

>>12746175
>>12746158
Prost, Kollege. But since our local christmas market opened a couple days ago, right now it's all about glühwein while walking around in the cold, looking at the cute young girls who came with their families.
I guess there isn't really a better way to kill time on weekends.

I cant wait for Touhou 15 when we finally get to fight the beer youkai!!

>>12746228
But our liquor and wine is top notch.
California wine beat the best European wines in a blind taste test.

Texas whiskey beat the best European whiskey in a blind taste test.

Tennessee and Kentucky are known for their bourbon

And our Applejacks and other apple based drinks are gaining popularity like apple cider

We invented cocktails

But when it comes to beer we fall flat

My local grocery store started importing this. It's a little pricey at $65 but it's quite good. They also import Nikka Coffee Grain Whiskey which I plan to buy next.

>>12746592
When it comes to mainstream, patriotic beers we fall flat. However, American craft brews are king, they just need to overcome the hipster prejudice.

>>12746671
Muh microbrews

>>12746719
craft beer =/= micro brew

>>12746722
Implying they're not

>>12746724
micro can be anything made in small batches

craft beer is more of a marketing term

>>12746732
European beer is best. Stella, Heineken, New Castle... there's a reason we are the best in the world.

>>12746755
>European beer is best. Stella, Heineken, New Castle... there's a reason we are the best in the world.

>>12745364
40oz aren't hard to find in the west.

>>12746983
I once had a 1L can of this. Man, that was bad.

>>12746755
Heineken is widespread internationally, including in Japan, but an above-average beer at best.

>>12745612
I have pretty high alcohol tolerance but I don't want to drink so much that it triggers my gout.

What I do is I drink while laying down, 20 oz and I'm already pretty drunk. Very cheap as well!

>>12746983
This, has OP ever drank beer before?
You can get a 40z for 2 dollars at any gas station
Just buy some cobras, it all tastes exactly the same who cares.

>>12747810
>it all tastes exactly the same who cares
Not true, you don't seem to have drunk a wide range of beer. There is a big difference between bad and good beer.

>>12747038
Back in my hometown I could always tell an area was dangerous based on how many faxe cans littered the ground.

Stuff tasted like gasoline. When you buy this you declare to the cashier that you officially Do Not Give A Shit

>>12746654
that won the whiskey of the year award

I really really like Asahi Black, but it's impossible to find here outside of restaurants. Because of this I go to eat ramen every other week.

>>12747810
>Cobras
Nah Steel Reserve all the way. The only appropriate 40. Colt is complete trash.

>>12749586
You gotta watch your carb intake bro

Kill yourselves weeaboos.

>>12745355
But it's Asahi. Why would you want to drink a lot of that?

I tried a couple Japanese beers that made their way here, the only one I liked was Sapporo.

>>12746654
>$65 whiskey
Jesus fucking christ.

My doctor says that if I don't stop drinking I'm going to die before I'm 40.

>>12749878
That's good. I'm aiming for 35 though.

>>12749857
>>12749299
>>12746654

It's a steal at $65. Spot prices have shot through the roof in the last few months though because of the increase in popularity. I still enjoy my Glenlivet and Macallen though.

>>12746592
I'm a fan of the various Leinenkugel's I've tried, among other American beers, you just have to not buy shit like bud light or fucking coors.

>>12754801
If you're on a caloric restriction diet, the light lagers are the best way to go. Coors Light is both economical and you'll lose weight with it as well as training yourself to drink less because it has 4.2% ABV rather than 5% like the other conventional BMC's. Go ahead and challenge my opinion, beer snob.

>>12746654
That looks good but I can't stomach hard liquor. It's like drinking paint thinner and I just vomit even though I do the breathe-in, shot, breath-out technique. I guess it's from all the meds and from the 3 or 4 months of taking otc painkillers every day for a toothache that probably fucked my liver over. Either that or I'm just a pussy, lol. But beer has better taste anyway so whatevs.

>>12745441
>>12745371
Drink something aside from your mainstream stuff.

There are plenty of amazing Jap craft beers. Look around a bit.

>>12745413
Postwar westaboo Japan plus 50 years

>>12746178
Liquor in general is cheaper in all asian countries, while beer is expensive as fuck.

>>12747038
>Heineken is widespread internationally, including in Japan, but an above-average beer at best.
Heineken tastes like glue.
I couldn't drink it after someone pointed it out to me.

>>12757909
I disagree, except with the plus 50 years part.

>>12757934
H is good for the skunky hops if that's your thing. Can only get that on imported though.

>>12758020
>I disagree, except with the plus 50 years part.
Traditional Japanese culture died with the end of World War 2, The Setting Sun is a wonderful work on just that.
Nothing much has changed since then.

>>12758087
Okay, but I think you may have misinterpreted "westaboo" for something else.

>>12755729
I never said anything about losing weight or being economical, those light beers just taste like horse piss. So if you're poor, have shit taste, and are trying to lose weight, then drink Coors Light.

>>12758020
Japan is becoming more westernized than they would like to admit
And I think as time goes on, the process starts to go faster

>>12746396
Stop wasting your perica on beer, Kaiji

>>12758877
How do you know what horse puss taste like?

>>12745960
You know back when water would literally kill you and you can barely scrounge up a loaf of bread and a turnip to eat then yea you would fucking care

>>12759503
This.

People used to only drink beer. Though it was actually mead and a little less alcohol I guess. If you dared to drink just water you'd die a diarrhea death.

I prefer cheap Japanese beer here to say Heineken or Stella. Kirin is really nice on draft, asahi and Sapporo are good too.

It's weird because when I was back home and drank imported kirin/asahi it tasted terrible.

These are lethal.

>>12758117
>I think you may have misinterpreted "westaboo" for something else.
How so?
Japan is adapting western culture more and more.
The existence of Anime is a wonderful example of just that happening.

>>12745355
Why does japan know my needs better than my own country? Look at this shit. They know how to take care of a guy.

>>12759455
That's an original retort.

>>12745960
Beer was originally brewed to keep field workers on their feet with having to take a meal break. Most of the earliest brews were closer to alcoholic soup.

>>12746194
I loved Wilco Tango Foxtrot but it is no longer sold in my area.

>>12745888
it r go good with pizza

who beer here?

Beer tastes quite nice and refreshing (even the crappy ones like PBR), but when I REALLY wanna get my /jp/ on and get wasted, I drink rum or very cheap vodka.

How can you guys afford 65 dollar bottles of whisky? Holy fuck. I feel bad if I spend more than 16 dollars for a bottle of liquor. Most I've ever paid is like 25 for some Crown Royal.

I'm a light weight so even one or two beers makes me feel a little tipsy and happy. Asahi is nice and one I drink regularly but not really one of my favourites, I tend to prefer European stuff, mainly British.
>>12767881
>How can you guys afford 65 dollar bottles of whisky?
I could never spend that much on it either, I'm way too stingy and quite often with whisky the cheap ones are still pretty nice.

VB mate

>>12767881
This is what I do. Though gin might be cheaper than vodka.
I'd pay tons for some pure, legit sake though.

>>12767881
>How can you guys afford 65 dollar bottles of whisky?
The government pays me money every month.

>>12768361
VB is South African and XXX is japanese. Australian beer is quite low-quality compared to the UK, Canada, or USA.

>>12768375
Yeah I know, it's shit but its what everyone else here drinks, Sapporo is my fave

>>12767881

I feel bad for playing more than 16 bucks, myself, just because that's what big bottles of Fireball cost here. Only exception I make is for Kahlua, and that's just because I used it for White Russians so it lasts me a month or so, compared to a whiskey or vodka which is gone in a flash.

>>12746592
How could you forget about Moonshine?

>>12767881
You usually don't drink expensive whiskey to get drunk. A bottle usually lasts for a month for me.
If I want to get completely fucked, I'll buy a 24 pack of 10% ciders and a bottle of cheap vodka.

masterrace

>>12769881

The funniest thing about alcohol, you can be fine with cheap vodka that tastes like dishwater, but if a beer tastes even a little shitty it's unbearable.

>>12769880
I don't think even oni's could handle that stuff

>drinking the fermented Jew
>any year

>>12770026
You mean the fermented egyptian.

Such a good pils it beats special beers on a daily basis.

>>12749857
Cheap as fuck for the brand and type. Absolutely delicious too. The best whisky I've ever had was the Yamazaki 18 year old. That was 200e a bottle. The entry level Yamazaki's are fantastic if you like single malts.

>>12745355
Too bad Asahi is awful.

>>12770125

Yebisu tastes great if I remember correctly though.

>>12769906
One of the worst kinds of people in this world are beer elitists.

Never tried moonshine. What does it taste like?

>>12749623
Damn straight!

>>12771477

The artist probably never ever ate one. Or nips are beyond retarded.

>>12771520
It's not as bad as you might think. Commercial moonshine (sic) is pretty smooth and doesn't taste that much different from corn-based vodka.

beer makes me feel bloated

Do you support your local cheap as shit beer, /jp/?

>>12769906
8 is best
6 too weak
10 too much alcohol, doesn't taste as good

>>12746396 here

Drank some ビール after work this weekend as usual

Something sad I noticed: after a couple of "good" beers (Brewdog mostly), when I switched to Asahi as my last drink of the night (first time trying this Black version) it was really noticeably poor. I'm not a beer snob, they annoy me a lot ("omg muh mouthfeel muh citrus notes" ww), and god knows I love shitty beer anyway, but the dip in quality was so obvious, it was like suddenly switching from a 5 star lobster banquet to a supermarket ready meal.

Of course I still drank it all but I am probably finished with Asahi now until my next big gyamburu.

>>12772203
> after a couple of "good" beers (Brewdog mostly), when I switched to Asahi as my last drink of the night (first time trying this Black version) it was really noticeably poor

well no shit, sherlock.

You need to drink the asahi first, and after you've had a couple, switch to the good stuff.

>>12770032
>You mean the fermented egyptian.

you mean the fermented mesopotamian

>>12772278

If they drank 40 degree celsius bitter beer with metal straws to filtrate it because there were huge globs of bitter shit in it you can drink cheap asahi and not be a faggot.

When I was in japan, the japs always said I should drink kirin. They also recommended something they called highball, which was ginger ale with beer, or wodka or whiskey. They seem to call everything mixed with ginger ale highball.

>>12772383
I liked the highball stuff. They usually come in a bunch of flavors and I feel like less of a bitch drinking it in Japan because everyone drinks them there.

>>12772383
I think normal Kirin is better than normal Asahi, but Asahi Black is better than anything Kirin.

>>12772401
Well beer is kinda expensive in japan. No idea how to cheaply get yourself drunk there.

>>12745386

go back to /fit/

>>12772697
Get your booze from a big supermarket, it's cheaper there.

>>12774539
500ml of standard beer (not happoshu) is about 260 yen right now. Still not cheap.

6 500ml PBRs in the US is like 5 bucks.

>>12774868
That is very very cheap compared to Kangarooland.
I highly envy you.

>>12775040
>>12774868
A 500ml can of pisswater is € 0.50 here and usually even less if you get a lot of them.

>>12745441
Just be thankful it's not VB or light beer or goon

>>12771363
Yona yona is amazing for the price, and you can find it in just about any Lawsons or Circle K. Hitachino White ale became my holy grail back in the states, but luckily it's gained a lot of street cred with craft brewers so you can sometimes find it in certain international craft beer bar chains.

>>12745371
probably you never drank awesome jap beer

The only bad beer is no beer.

>>12775114

Some bad pils made of piss in belgium here cost 2€50 for an entire pack of 24x25cl. Yes it is less than running water. It is called karlpils I think. And let's not speak about carapils it is even worse.

>>12775114
I actually like 5,0. Best cheapobeer.

>>12746592
>California wine beat the best European wines in a blind taste test.
Sure is a incredibly bold and wide statement. also incredibly false.
California has excellent wines, but to blindly generalize a subjective thing as taste. no...

Most people still think France makes the best wines but those days are long gone.

>>12776855
I drank it once and it tasted like shit. There are different versions though right? Maybe I'll try them out sometimes.

>>12779072
I drink the 5,0 Pils and Export a lot, and can't really complain. Sure there might be better beers out there, but it has an excellent value for this price.

i gave up on quality beer except for augustiner

>>12776855
5.0 is godlike for it's price. Non-Germans will never know how good it actually is.

I drink German beer mostly but my favorite beer is Pilsner Urquell.

I like Pilsners and Lagers. Hefe not so much but I'm not a big fan of dark stuff. IPAs are the devil.

>>12779072

The last time I went to a bar in Germany they had no choice and some banana pils. Couldn't resist drinking one just to make fun of a redguard in our group.

>beer in cans

Disgusting.

>>12746654
That looks dank, I'll have to pick up a bottle sometime over the holidays and drink it with somebody else I know who likes whisky to have something different for a change.

>>12746654
For relaxing times, make it Suntory time!

The American microbrew college-age beer connoisseurs are so adorable, they show up in every topic borderline related to alcohols. No doubt they're from the same vocal plague that is /pol/.

Is /int/ with #bantz and your mom jokes not enough for you?

>>12784402
haha, I actually watched that movie yesterday and thought "hey, isn't this the whiskey from the /jp/ thread?"

>>12780921
Better than beer in plastic bottles.

Suntory Magnum Dry from a can tastes like metal filings. Would not reccommend.
