Asahi Super Dry

Asahi Super Dry and I go way back. I have always been intrigued by that silver can. Asahi and Sapporo were 2 of the first "exotic" beers I tried. Once, when living in Idaho, I went backpacking and brought along a bunch of tiny Sapporo 2.5oz beer cans. It's nice to have a beer at the end of a long hike even if it is barely bigger than a jigger. By the way, did you know Google can convert liquid volumes for you in jiggers? Next time your frat buddies dare you to drink that collar-popping 42.6 jigger Jägermeister Über-shot you can simply use Google to avoid the embarrassing math which you couldn't do sober anyway.

Anyway, Asahi Super Dry is delicious and refreshing. This is one of the few Japanese beers I appreciate. I have to admit that this MoFo puts the 24oz American Tallboy to shame. We do have the 40, which is pretty cool, but that is just grandstanding. Unlike monster trucks and sharks, bigger is not always better. Nothing this tasty comes in a can this big. Don't underestimate the enormous can. It's as big as your face.
