Dogo Beer



The good thing about having a loving fiance is that she always beings me back jibeer whenever she goes somewhere in Japan. All of her collegues think it is crazy that she is the one trying to scare up some jibeer wherever they go. All in all, life is good.

Recently she brought me back some Dogo Stout. I don't know much about Dogo Beer other than the fact that it comes from a famous onsen joint in Shikoku and won some awards back in 2000. I think the reason is because it is small, and pretty run of the mill. The Stout was good, but nothing to write home about (blog about?) and for sure the coolest thing about the beer is the bottle design, and the killer English inscription:

One gulp of beer taken just after a bath is the time when you feel most refreshed.


How true!

Anyone out there tried any other Dogo brews?

Ive had it before when I just wanted to try different Japanese micros. Underwhelming and would probably never go back unless someone told me things had dramatically changed.

TimE, agreed. Run of the mill beer.
