Mini Sapporo Beer in Hong Kong

This mini can of Sapporo is something I picked up from a 7-11 near to the hotel I was staying at in Hong Kong.

In the photo the Carlsberg is a normal 330ml and the Sapporo was tiny in comparison, although the pricing was quite similar.

Sapporo tastes good whether in bottle or can and the 7-11's in Hong Kong really have their fridges turned up to full power so the beer was icy cold and ready to drink.

I finished it in one gulp.

Very nice indeed.

Asahi Black – Munich Type Beer from Japan

Black beers made in Asia have a well deserved reputation for tasting terrible and having alcohol levels so high that even Chang drinkers think twice before opening a can.

But Asahi Black is an exception and for once the description on the can is very accurate: “Asahi’s original brew” has a “rich and smooth taste” that is “fine taste beer” for you to “relax and enjoy”!

Brewed in Osaka by Asahi Breweries Limited it is an original Munich-type beer brewed using their pure cultured yeast and Asahi’s advanced brewing techniques that have made their other beers so popular in Japan and many overseas markets.

Asahi Black is a highly drinkable beer. It truly is a rich and smooth brew and at 5% it’s one of the few black beers in Asia with an alcohol level that doesn’t overpower the taste (or the drinker).

This beer is well recommended.
