Available only in Hokkaido*


What a find! I must be the luckiest person on the planet! Either that, or someone at the Asahi brewery is a liar. At a local shop near my girlfriend's house in Kozakai, I found this limited edition Asahi Brew AVAILABLE ONLY IN HOKKAIDO. Now, I'm not geography major, but I will tell you that Hokkaido is one fair piece from Kozakai.
The beer was tasty, had much more malty flavor than any other Asahi product that I have tried.

The beer's label clearly reads: "Kita no Shokunin Choujuku Rich Taste" which means: "This beer is available only in Hokkaido and ONE TINY STORE in Kozakai...oh yeah, and it has Rich Taste."

Of course that is a loose translation.

DH has an optomistic view of these "Let's design a new can and call it a seasonal!" beers.

What can I say? I am an eternal optimist!

You can buy this stuff in Seijuishii stores and I've seen it in a few other places too. nothing amazing but always good to give a new beer a try.
