Sapporo is okay in the bottle, but loses to Asahi unless it is in the cool metal can. Their reserve or whatever malt liquor (metal can) also loses to everything, it's like drinking nothing. Yebisu is pretty good, but Asahi defeats it on taste-over-price. And if OB Lager (Korean) wasn't selling at $2.10/24 oz, it would be entirely out of competition.

I haven't gotten around to Kirin or Tsingtao yet, because expense is a factor. And damnit, someone needs to start importing Suntory so we can drink that.

Attempting to live like anime characters is a stage a lot of people go through early in their obsession. A lot of them get over it. Others do cosplay.
