Nope, the draught kegs, 500ml tins and the Asahi Black are all ex Japan. The Super Dry bottles are made in China, therefore avoid like the plague.
I said I don't think..
Now you don't have to.
I read that as "I said I don't drink"…
My bad! LOL
cheaper but i wouldn't say bargain.
Equivalent to a case of 330ml bottles for $45.54. That's cheap enough to call it a bargain I think.
well to me thats just the normal cost of most other dry lagers, which it tastes like. $60 like it was in aldi is a bargain, $70 not so much.
Yes, particularly as it is shipped in from Japan!
Anybody worried about radioactive beer from Japan? I always have a niggling doubt about possible radioactive particles in the Asahi, but it disappears after a couple of bottles.
I was in Kyoto last year and bought a seawater ice-cream …. the seawater was the depths of some deep ocean and used in the ingredients .. an amazing salty-sweet ice-cream .. I have survived so far.
Outside of the area directly around the reactors there is going to be very little radiation, especially as the years pass. With time the most radioactive particles will decay because they have the shortest half-lifes.
The people living around Fukushima will receive an additional 10,000 microsieverts over their lifetime. One year of background radiation is 2000 and one CT scan is 7000 microsieverts.
Check out this video if interested, it's very interesting and puts how radioactive some things are into perspective. It's especially important to watch if you are a smoker:

Don't forget cashback through cashrewards of 9% to make it $62.79 for 24 cans
I think only 3.5% for beer
Yes, you're right. Thanks for the correction. It's $66.59 for 24 cans
Pay using Woolies gift cards for another 5% off = $63.14
@x853: You can buy woolies egiftcards for 5% off from cash rewards or entertainment book. Use them to pay at dan Murphy's.
@Don Pablo: oh yeah that's fine. I thought you meant some gift cards got 5% off on dan Murphy transactions. All good
Good price for Japanese brewed Asahi. Just wish that the Asahi Black would drop below $80/case at some point.. That beer is on point.
Never tried Black - read up on it but it's not similar to Super Dry, is it? Does it feel "heavier", "thicker"?
Once you go black you never go back, seriously though it's amazingly smooth my go to splurge
Had one last night with dinner.
It's OK, I wouldn't rave about it though.It's not really much heavier / thicker in my view, still quite a lager. That said, there's plenty of other 'light' dark beers around which get my money- white rabbit dark in particular is doing it for me ATM.
White Rabbit is doing it to you ATM?
Can you use 5% wish cards on the bad boys?
Yes
Paid $45.00 per slab last year at Aldi. They were advertised for $60 but scanned for $45 so I bought 5 slabs :)
Yes, the cans are brewed and canned in japan. The bottles are fake.
They have a brewery in China and Vietnam, don't buy if it worries you
Refer
Pretty sure mine are from Thailand.
The 500ml can tho?
Sorry for the confusion. Bottles.
It taste good?
Best 'brand' beer you'll taste. Made in Japan.
I bought 4 x (6pk for $14.99) at Aldi late last year and had to ration them the OzBargain way.
500ml is a great size for Beer as well IMO.
$2.875 per can with this deal (or 3.5% less w' cashrewards).Tastes like piss
So you drink urine very often, do you?
to me it doesnt taste much different to any other dry lagers.
Is shit on sale somewhere?!
Nah, but we do like to get shitfaced, especially on this stuff
A glowing endorsement if I ever saw one.
Glowing.. i see what you did there
FYI it has a measly 5% rating on Rate Beer from 1766 ratings. https://www.ratebeer.com/beer/asahi-super-dry/251/
I would rather get the Asahi-owned but Aussie-made Mountain Goat craft beer https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/294693
Thats the bottle version that they are rating.
That's actually the alcohol percentage
No it is not the alcohol percentage. The % is a beer's score based on its percentile ranking among all beers. That means Rate Beer has Asahi being in the lowest 5% of all beer. https://www.ratebeer.com/ratingsqa.asp
The bottles and cans are lumped into that one beer page.
you just made that site look irrelevant by stating this.
oh fail!
@BumbaT: It is not the site's fault that Asahi seemingly has poor consistency between cans and bottles. What's the difference between them anyway?
Some reviewers mentioned they tasted the canned version, but that didn't change their mostly negative reviews. I am just stating the facts.
Other peoples opinions are not facts. They are opinions :)
They are basically reviewing let say coca cola, diet coke and coke zero and lumping it all together and calling it coke even if they are different products with the same label. It is already hard to gain information from unbiased opinions, let alone biased ones and when some state opinions as facts it becomes even more fruitless.
Even water from different countries even when filtered taste different from each other, mineral and micronutrient content, hardness/softness etc and you cant just use pure water so as there are no differences as that would kill you due to reverse osmotic pressure dehydrating you from the inside
Soil types, the variety of grain was grown in, nitrogen levels, all differentiate between countries vastly, even the microbiota of the soil affects, the flavour profile of the grain during growth and after harvest. Possibly the type of microorganisms that help with the fermentative process can add differences to the flavour profile.
Secondly there are limitations with the Food and safety authorities within each countries so as to the way the brewing process can be followed. we can go on forever on the micro level. We can then go to logistics, distribution and storage or even packaging.
Sensory evaluation is not something to be taken lightly as it is a scientific process that has to deal with very subjective opinions and a site like the one you showed have a very flawed method of distinguishing between beers or anything they are testing with such a methodology being used.
The consistency in Asahi Japan between their various breweries such as the one near mt fuji and the one in sapporo is pretty good, all things considered, they cannot however help the iternational limitations of other breweries due to the above issues I have mentioned.
Asahi is alright, not much different in taste to Hahn super dry.
I bought 'Hammer 'n' Tongs' bitter from Liquorland $38 for 30 330ml cans this weekend. It's ok, similar to Tun but I think Tun tastes just a bit better.
It is sad that majority of people buying big beer can't stand criticism of their mainstream beers being bland and boring.
Taste Chimay or 4 Pines next to Asahi or Stella.
Aldi was cheaper at 24 for $60 (though obviously not currently available), and yes I don't think the 500ml cans get brewed outside of Japan.
