Episode 075 - Kirin Ichiban, Sapporo ReserveA freshly-shaven Johnny and an always shaven Dave head east to try a couple of mass-production lagers from Japan. The two beers have an odd, intertwining past, and dealings with other well-known brewing conglomerates to create a bizarre web of ownership, contract brewing, and shared pasts. That said, they turn out to be exactly what you would expect - light on flavor and profile, sitting nicely in the mass-production-lager niche that Bud and Miller have come to define.
