Do you like beer? You drink much? I don't drink beer so much, I would like whisky and gin always. But I know many people "LOVE BEER" ( did you check, Sapporo black Label CM alredy?), actually my co-worke is beer"er" then she said she will go to this event. At 3200yen, you can drink 100 kinds of beer in the world as much as you want. There are many beer I did not know. Koelsch Reissdorf?? ( I can not read anyway) from Germany, Bons voeux? form Bergine. From England, Harviesoun's Old Engine Oil. "OIL"?? I like this name "Victory's Hop Devil" from the U.S. Mr and Ms Beerer will enjoy it.
By the way, Beer is such popular alchole in the world. The country which drink beer most is the United States, No2. is China, No3. Germany. No.4 Brazil (oh really!), then No5. is Japan. In Japan, the annual consumption depends on Summer 's temparature. Hot summer like this year, it is high. Last year was so low. Then in the TV news, they say "how many Tokyo Dome of beer we drank this year". Strange Englihs? I am not sure how I should say it in Englihs. I don't know why they use Tokyo Dome as unit for Beer consumption. I can not imagine at all.
Then after summer, beer company start to sell thier Autumn special, a little bit rich taste beer. Kirin AKIAJI (autumn taste) is famous one. When I see this Akiaji CM, I feel "Ah Autum has come". (Please click CM botton under the page.)
Golden, calm autumn evening with beer, food and cat
Ahh I said similar stuff in Summer time too?. Time flies!! I feel it was just a few days ago. *
"Harviesoun's Old Engine Oil."?! I've *NEVER* heard of it (and I live in the UK)!
The best Beers in the UK are Ales and Stouts. The top three in the UK are "Spitfire" by Shepard Neame, Black Sheep ale by the Black sheep brewery and Adnam's Broadside.
Even the Scots are starting to make something other than rubbish lager and great Whisky! Some of the best Scottish brewers are in the north of Scotland and the outer hebridies.

yes, those tasting events are really great ! when i was still drinking, i used to go to some bars in new york that had huge selections of alcohol. one bar had SO MANY different whiskys. however, how different do they taste after having a few : ) ... i remember a whisky tasting i was invited to in new york city. they even had a real presentation and explanation about it all. however, my colleagues and i had finished the 8 whiskys (small portions) by the time he had finished his personal introduction.
the beer selection sounds good. for anyone going, i would recommend especially trying some german and belgian beers before you get too drunk because their taste is excellent. some of them are quite heavy, though, so it is like having a real meal.
by the way, just read yesterday that some ingredients found in beer can be good against breast cancer. these ingredients are also in wine and tea, however.

I guess that "Koelsch Reissdorf" would be written in Japanese romaji as "koelushu raisudorufu". German spelling is strange.
