Nice, I've had the last two mentioned. Sadly the Sapporo was after a cocktail which tasted like something you could flush an engine with, so my memory of it isn't so great.
Also on the Jap front I'll always have a Kirin if there's one available. Very little to it, but I think that's so you can get buzzed and still have enough space to consume your body weight in raw fish

A Japanese beer called sapporo. Comes in a rather nice can which may of been the reason i bought it originally 
Does the whole of the top of the can still come off ? Never tried it but used to sell van loads of the stuff in the eightiescollateral said:

This shape can?
That's the one 
I have a nagging memory of them changing the top of the can. It was a long time ago egomeister said:
The cans are so thick, I reckon they'd be worth weighing in at the scrappy! Seem to recall the last time I bought some it had an old skool ringpull (that comes off the can)
I had this while living in Korea. I thought it would be nice as Asahi is pretty refreshing. I spent about £8 on a can in a bar and thought it was vile. On that note, all Korean beers are horrible, so if you find one don't bother!If you can find a gold can of Asahi anywhere buy it, they are nice.
Many years ago, at the first Shrewsbury beer festival (1989, I think), there was a little stall dedicated to obscure continental beers; one of which was this little beauty:
I liked the look of the bottle wrapped in paper. It looked expensive. On asking what it was like, the guy serving said it was a classic "sour" Belgian beer. It sounded awful, so I bought one just to sample its awfulness.
My. Word.
Totally, mouth-puckeringly, delicious.
If you like a Liefmans Kriek, or just a basic lambic beer, Rodenbach Grand Cru butters many parsnips.

Currently making my way through a bottle of Windhoek, bought on a complete whim. Namibian. Tescos. Very pleasant in a BBQ beer type of way.
Anyone else bought something spur of the moment and been surprised how drinkable it was?
Try and get your hands on some Urbock. Also Namibian, and actually very good. Anyone else bought something spur of the moment and been surprised how drinkable it was?
