*** Quoting LEE LOFASO from a message to CAROL SHENKENBERGER ***

LL> Hello Carol,

>LL>I found a batch of San Miguel dark beer last week, which was better
>LL>than I expected.  It's the Chinese and Japanese beer that you gotta
>LL>watch out for.  Not even the Chinese drink beer made in China.  And
>LL>Japanese much prefer sake.  :)

CS>Naw, they like beer quite well in Japan!  Local brews abound.
CS>Japanese beer are more strongly flavored than USA types for the
CS>most part.

LL> I was making a joke.  Which reminds me.  One of my friends was over

Grin, sorry.  They do like Sake too!

LL> syrup, he quickly downed another glass.  And then another.  Until the
LL> entire bottle was empty.  And then it hit him.  Needless to say, I had
LL> to drive him home.  :)

Whoosh! That stuff is like everclear on potency.

CS>Kirin on tap is my normal choice.  We generally stick just to a pla
CS>'Shooters' because the clientele is a bit older so the conversation
CS>better.

LL> At least they don't serve tuba in Japan.  Not that I know of, anyway.
LL> Gosh, that stuff is *nasty*.  But it will get you drunk.  If you think
LL> rice wine is bad, try coconut wine.  Guaranteed to make your head spin

Naw.  Thats Korean?  I prefer Hite there.  Hite is an ok brew, good enough
for ¨a quaff but not so exceptional you'd buy it at import prices.  Think
'slight ¨dry Miller Lite' with just a touch more flavor, but not more than
a touch.
