Got the scoop this weekend from Homebrew Japan (now in the blogroll) about a new Yebisu coming out sometime July 2009. ANOTHER new Yebisu? You know that we are big fans of Yebisu around here, and since the last one went over like a fart in a diving helmet, you can be sure that we can't wait to try it. This new Yebisu is rumored to be available on tap only, and as of right now there is only one review on RateBeer. I'll post what Homebrew Japan sent me:
It's BAR ONLY, designed to compete against Guinness. It will use nitrogen during dispensing and wont be heavily carbonated. It's supposed to be more beer like than stout like though - in terms of body.
Thanks to Homebrew Japan for the pic as well!
Wait and see if it will overtake Guiness as the next best dark beer with no taste (was that a Guiness bash? I think so!) but don't hold your breath. Especially if you are in that diving helmet.
DO check out Homebrew Japan's blog. I have been following it since he got started earlier this year--and he's serious about his brewing, as is Lost in Fermentation. Drop in and give 'em some hits, comments, praise and advice. They already thank you.

Yep, as soon as I saw that label, I thought nitrogen.
Then I thought methane from cows and whipped cream.
That's probably gonna be closer to the taste than 'stout'. I avoid nitrogen adjusted beers. Opeyes has a few taps with 'nirotgen' added instead of good old toxic CO2. It makes the beer taste 'creamier'. Urgh. It may just make the bloody stuff taste more like a nasty guinness. I'd perhaps chance a half pint of this but definitely no more. The danger is that many people here may order this and think it's the best thing since guinness, which is the best thing ever and is the best foreign beer in the world and if they want to drink real beer, then that is what they should order, as it's the best thing ever and they are going to like it, even if they hate the bloody stuff. I could be wrong. It may well turn out to be the best thing since Guinness, which we all know is the best beer in the whole damn world.
I just realised I called Popeyes Opeyes. Freudian slit. That would make an interesting theme for a bar.
Get your suds, fresh from the tit.
Instead of half pint or pint measures, you'd order by the cup size. I'll have a double D of creamy dark stout in my face, please. My friend will take an A cup of happoshu.
Chuwy... Happoshu would be like fake boobs...
Another rack on me!
Whose boobs do you have to fondle to get a beer around here?
The list goes on and on.
And I am with you, Guiness is crap.
In that bar, when you say 'nice jugs' to the barmaid, you really do mean she's got a great set of t*ts!.
