I don't drink too many light beers anymore, but back in the day, I used to drink kirin ichiban and tsingtao whenever we went out to an Asian restaurant. Both were good.
I'm a big fan of Asahi Super Dry. It's my favorite beer here, and it's the most popular in Japan. I'm not sure if it's available in the States, or if it's the real stuff brewed by the Japanese company. If you ever come here, I hope you get a chance to try all the different stuff. Also, you'll love the 9% chu-hais. Lotta Marines and Sailors get in trouble because they underestimate that 9% lmao
@@Ducati121 I was stationed in Iwakuni for my first duty station and can confirm, Chu-hai will fuck you up. Unfortunately I didn't realize it until I was about a half dozen in because you can't really taste the alcohol... would not recommend hitting them that hard, because they hit back.
I spent 2 1/2 years in Okinawa Japan, and I drank a lot of Japanese beer. Drank a bunch of Orion. Developed my taste for Scotch whiskey 8:03 there also, as Japanese whiskey has a Scotch whisky taste.
Because back when they started, they blended Scotch in. Then they took lessons and master distillers from Scotland. Now they have the same basic rules for the way they describe it. And they have their own category, in no way inferior to Scotch, but it has to fit into your personal palate.
@@duncandebruijn250 Yeah, Masataka Taketsuru was credited with getting whisky production started with the first blends being brought in from Scotland by the company he worked for. Most Japanese single malts are very good. Better than any of their beer in my opinion, but then I've never been found a Japanese beer I like very much. It reminds me too much of Dutch beer and I don't like Dutch beer.
When I trained with the Japanese national defense force ( their army) the month of training began with everything Japanese culture. They brought Sapporo and saki to the big party. Coincidentally at the end of the month it was as all American so we had jack Daniel’s and Budweiser lamentably. It was a drunk fest though with only a week of training. The days before 9/11 were just fun and games Love your vids boss
hahahaha kirin ichiban is actually a japanese beer, they cultivater their own yeast and procured their own ingredients. they then give everything to anheuser busch to bottle en masse and ship it everywhere in huge volumes
It might have been mentioned already. The reason that Sapporo was made in Canada is because they bought out Sleeman Breweries. That gave them a foot in the door to sell in North America instead of having to ship it. Unfortunately, it doesn't look like it works both ways, so Sleeman isn't something available in Japan.
Personal favorite is between kirin ichiban and sapporo classic. Unfortunately, I can't get those at home. Kirin stopped being sold here about a year ago and sapporo classic is just sold in Hokkaido.
For those of you looking for Orion, i suggest looking at your local international stores or Wegmans. Those are the only places I've found this delicious beer.
Imma gun shooting, fishing, trucking, whiskey loving born in VA Korean that lived in Japan for 5years. I hate to say this butI love Busch light the most. I might had a redder neck in my past life😂
Sapporo is primarily produced in Vietnam even though created in Sapporo Japan. So is it still Japanese? I dont know, but still drink it and the Sapporo Black too.
Asahi is good too, but basically in Japan the crisper and better carbonated the beer is the better quality its assumed to be. Makes for good beer burps, be sounding like Barney from the Simpsons by the end of the night.
I’m surprised the ginger beer from Hitochino Nest wasn’t good. Their white ale and red rice ale are godly, especially the white. Also, Orion, from what I can remember from my time in Okinawa, is a decent beer. Much better than bud or coors.
Man i havent watched this yet (about to once the foods ready) but i wilk say that kirin ichiban is 100% my fav beer. Even tho its impossible to find where i live.
You should do a part 2 … asahi super dry, “hitachino white ale”this one is better then the ginger beer I promise you 🍺 , Kyoto white yuzu or any yuzu beer ..
Finally an uncensored episode lol
Perhaps it was uploaded by mistake 🤔
@@Ratedred 🤣🤣😅
@@Ratedred I’d hope not 🤣 that shit was hilarious
@@Ratedredthat Japanese pussy line had me laughing so hard.
You forgot Asahi which is the N1 beer in Japan besides Kirin and Sapporo.
yeah no where near 'number 1" looks like his store had the actually 2 main ones and some craft ones.
@@iFlightz Asahi is really good
Watch out for Asahi Linux. 🐧
The best one too!!!

Damn yur super easy to entertain. Actual cringe 😬

Orion was started after WWII with all of the American military stationed on the island. It is my favorite Japanese beer.
its beer made by marines
@Mattiboyoboyboy I hope the Japanese removed the crayons from the recipe when they took it over from the marines.
Keeeeeeeep theeeseeee reviews coming

not that it matters to your comment, but tsing tao is chinese.
Tsing Tao is a Chinese beer, pronounced Ching Dao. It tastes great with Chinese and Vietnamese food.
Actually German, they made a brewery when they colonised tsingtao

Was Army at Zama, can confirm I was not warned my first weekend there that chu-hais will fuck your world up.
It is available here. I order it every time I go out for Ramen here in Houston.

Availability is based on if there's a sizeable Asian community in your area. Japanese or otherwise.
Agreed. @@catsandalcohol99

I second the idea of a beer review with the highest ABV beers you can find!
gotta get him a bottle of Brewdog's Sink the Bismark. Last I checked it was still the strongest beer in the world
@@darkguardian50how strong we talkin?
@@Ratedred41 ABV 😅
@@Ratedred yep 41% and to make things even better, its an IPA (as much as can be possible with a beer that is stronger than some whisky's)
Here for the algorithm
Awesome! I’ll have to try orion
Just ran across your channel.....one word....AWESOME !
My go-to summer beer is Sapporo Special Reserve. It's an all malt variant
That intro lmaoooooooo
Yuuup the Alabama boss is back!
the next beer review BOSS needs to be grilling a steak of some kind while he is reviewing the beer! on a grill outside!! perfect palate cleanser
So the Japanese budlight has a hint of orange? So you're saying it's fruity? We all knew that lol
The Japanese bud light is actually blue moon or shocktop....
Hey don’t hate on bud light it just wants to be accepted tok
Republicans from an American public school system detected.
Shouldn’t have marketed to a beer company then 😂
Nobody cares about brands dude. Beer is beer lmao. Doesn’t mean you are trans or gay cause you drink beer💀.
Sapporo is a favorite of mine!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Thumbs up just for the introduction. 😂
Thank you for watching! Please spread the word!
My best friend is in Okinawa right now got stationed there
Great video man. I felt happy for a moment.
Glad you enjoyed!
Awesome channel dude glad i found this 1 😊

I do love me some Orion beer. I was stationed in Okinawa and I've not been able to find Orion beer up here in Michigan, unfortunately.
1rd!! Shoutout out to Rated Red and Bama boss!
Orion is definitely my favorite.
🦅🇺🇸💪🤠👍 now I know what not to buy . Thank you for taking one for the team
Orion is soooo good!!!
I was in Okinawa late 70s and Kirin, Sapporo and Orion were regular night out beers and were really good
Sapporo is the only beer I’ve had that you tried today, but it’s always an easy go-to beer
BAMA BOSS!!!!!!!!!!
time to break out the lobster suit and go to captain d's
Someone take this man to an all you can eat sushi restaurant and feed him sake, spicy tuna, and good pickled ginger.
The intro made my day 😂😂

God bless America and God bless Alabama Boss 🍻

Not even the Japanese could make me like IPAs. My favorite japanese beer is Kirin, or Ebisu. You should try Asahi and Ebisu if you can.
Hitachino Nest White Ale is my favorite Japanese beer.
Believe it or not, japan also makes great whisky as well, im a fan and lover of japan and the culture and its, one of my favorites in whisky
Also the dragon looks like shenron from dragon ball
Sapporo Japanese lager beer is one my most favorites!
For those of you looking for Orion, i suggest looking at your local international stores or Wegmans. Those are the only places I've found this delicious beer.
Thanks for sharing!!
Yebisu Japanese malt beer is outstanding if you can find it.
Imma gun shooting, fishing, trucking, whiskey loving born in VA Korean that lived in Japan for 5years. I hate to say this butI love Busch light the most. I might had a redder neck in my past life😂
Its so hard to find orion outside of california, I miss it from my time stationed at Camp Hansen in Okinawa,
Alabama Boss needs to try New Belgium Juice Force IPA! Even better he could try multiple their beers in one go. That would be an awesome episode!
Didnt he try it in one of the old episodes? lol
Sapporo is my go to ( Especially ice cold draft ) but Asahi, Kirin ( some of them ), and Orion are all good.
I love the intro
Sjogun of Alabama! Domo Arigato! 😄
Kirin Ichiban is one of my go-tos
Where in the hell did you find that swamp water 😂
Love the channel keep ‘em coming hoss
Na that intro was crazy 🤣

Sushi and beer are my favorite
Asahi prob my fav beer from japan - was stationed there for 4 1/2 years while I was in the navy. Sapporo is a close 2nd
Orion 🤩
Sapporo is the best imo
You should've finished your show with some "habu sake". Had some in Yokosuka in '96 while deployed.
I had saporro at a Japanese restaurant once and I enjoyed it. it was good.
It is good!
So if y’all want a knew sidekick for “the boss”, then I’m your guy!
I share your hate for IPA's
Sometimes the [CC] turns on for random videos, this is one of them.
and they are HILARIOUS because they dont know wtf youre saying!
We don't know wtf he's saying half the time
“Let’s hope it’s not Fishy” 😂😂😂

Also, Orion, from what I can remember from my time in Okinawa, is a decent beer. Much better than bud or coors.
Ought to try Asahi, definitely a good beer and a much more refreshing choice over Sapporo (despite a decent choice) when super cold
Maybe for Part 2!
"I see them making video games, and rockets" Yeah, and they casually walk around enjoying a few beers and sake.
Managed to pick the worst Hitachino Nest. Their Red Ale, Stout, and White Ales are fantastic.
Is drinking room temperature beer/soda a thing in america? It seems like that in a lot of taste test videos.
Are they supposed to be cold?
@@RatedredI suppose, where I live drinking room temperature beer is almost a crime, and it kinda destroys the refreshing aspect of it.
@@kinsmarts2217 We pull them out of the fridge right before shooting. Don't fret. 🥶
Asahi is my favorite Japanese beer.
“Importer beer from… Wisco-what the fuck.” 😂😂
Orion needs to bee in the bottle !
Orion is my favorite too
Sapporo Light is great.
Orion is the best
Man i havent watched this yet (about to once the foods ready) but i wilk say that kirin ichiban is 100% my fav beer. Even tho its impossible to find where i live.
Japan has an awesome drinking culture. They work hard as shit then the whole company goes out and gets wasted and does karaoke.
Kirin is my favorite
You should do a part 2 … asahi super dry, “hitachino white ale”this one is better then the ginger beer I promise you 🍺 , Kyoto white yuzu or any yuzu beer ..
Great idea! We'll plan on it. And thank you for watching our channel!
One of the most common beers in Japan in fact all of Asia is something called Tiger beer
Sushi from Japan is the Bomb
Sapporo black taste like coffee very good
The wasabi on the sushi was hilarious and then he asks y it spicy
Lol the way you say Alabama
“Let’s hope it’s not fishy”
The only one I've had is Sapporo However I do wanna try that okinawan beer
No asahi? It’s the most popular beer in Japan and it’s my favorite!
We might need to revisit Japan in the future...
@@Ratedred also try supporo reserve beer
Instead of sushi, should have gotten him some fried shrimp/vegetable tempura to clean his palate. Fried foods always tastes good with beer.
Sapporo and kirin ichiban are the best.
Silently hoping there is a Japanese Monk out there making beer for Boss to try...
Has he ever tried Spotted Cow? I think it's a great beer from Wisconsin but maybe it's a hipster beer and I've got bad taste
He obviously never had Wasabi before that 😂😂😂. I'm sure it wasnt the real Wasabi either
Sapporo 👍
I have a soft spot for Orion as it’s my middle name
Why are the beers always hot? They never look fresh out of the fridge all nice and cold
If you can find it, get kawaba best japanese brewery
