Sorry.
Brewed in china, $40 for dirty bin juice. I guess it's good if you're into that sort of thing.
The girl in my local BWS was shocked when I pointed out that the Asahi bottled beer is brewed in China. She now lets people know when they purchase them.
Yeah this is the killer for me. I love the taste of Asahi but there is no way I'm going to ingest Chinese water.
100% agree, not interested in consuming Chinese made.
I discovered Asahi was brewed in China last weekend.
I added it to my list… no M&M’s chocolate block chocolate and Maccas Dipping Sauces.Oh yes the maccas dipping sauce actually tastes different also, I wondered why it tasted the different then looked at the package and said China.
I had a bottle the other day.. was shocked and stopped drinking after I discovered it is Brewed in CHINA! First time I've never finished a beer….
How are they doing business together.. I thought they hated each other.
Not exactly surprising as just about every other Japanese brand (Sony, Nintendo, Yamaha, Canon, Nikon, Toshiba etc.) has products made in china.
This is true…
Hey Pizzip, do you EAT products made by: Sony, Nintendo, Yamaha, Canon, Nikon, Toshiba…?

I'm Chinese. We love money more…
500ml cans are still brewed in Japan. Currently $76 case. Not necessarily a bargain but a better deal.
The 500ml cans are far superior and you can taste the difference between these and their version that they brew in China.
I know, I agree, I was just copying Balljuice above and waiting for the negs
Asahi is overrated anyway, very bland easy-drinking beer for mass consumption, far better options around@choofa: I agree its not exceptional but I prefer to drink 500ml cans and there dont appear to be very many options for this in my local BWS.
Pretty sure the poms detonated a few nukes in our backyard…
Doesn’t mean the whole country is affectedAt least they moved the native title holders off the land prior to the tests I guess…
I think they have a brewery opening or being built in Brisbane.
Superdry isnt my thing though, I find they have no flavour.
As some people have already pointed out, the bottle version is crap
Wait until the Can version to come on special
Why all the China brewing hate? I just got back from my Expedia mistake trip there and sampled plenty of good local beers. Sounds like hipster snobbery to me
I think they are complaining that China might not have the same safety standards as other places in the world. And they would be using inferior products to make the beer, ie: "crap water"
I was there last year and had no issues like that though.
The standards and morals they have there are appalling, why else would they come here and take our baby formula for example?
I'm asian but… I wouldn't trust that stuff especially how the Chinese hate the Japanese, sabotage is a high chance.
Paranoia is not a good thing.
@ms:
I am lucky in Sydney to have a few local breweries around me like 4 Pines, Young Henry's, otherwise there are a few other breweries around as well which hopefully one of the big companies haven't taken over yet.
@ms:
Let's boycott everything made in China
like the servers that host ozbargain?
or the routers that your traffic is passing through?
or the phone/monitor you're looking at while reading this?Damn, are you serious? well at least the brewery is still here to support the employees I guess
@ms:
Beer is something you ingest though…
I do try to avoid Xiaomi and other Chinese branded things that connect to my network in case they've put something in there to bug us.
@RtN: You also have Gage Roads which won 2016 Champion Australian Beer with Little Dove. A fav of mine.
Ferral Brewery - Love their Hop Hog
Mash Brewery - Copycat is pretty impressive
You're shitting me. Every locally brewed beer I've had in China, and I've had plenty from all over China, has been god awful. There is no exception to this.
Actually, would be keen to know which Chinese beers which you thought was any good. I've had (the ones I can remember):
- Harbin: Can and scooped out of a bucket in a food court. Appaling.
- Yanjing Cans and bottles. akin to drinking old stagnant water in puddles on the side of the road.
- Snow: Cans, many of them. horrible.
- "Yellow rever?!?!?" or similar. And similar in taste to the actual yellow river. Can't be sure until I drink from the river, it could be nicer.
- Tsingtao. probably the best of a bad bunch. But hugely variable. Bottles, can, tap, scooped from a bucket, from a hose out the side of a street cart. All bad.
I've had many more than this, but I can't remember all of them. They were all bad.
If you can't tell the difference you're welcome to judge my cooking anytime
Aldi Asahi is UK brewed, if and when they have it stocked.
Not same price though.Bit of a laugh when you go to a restaurant and you see these bottles on the menu under "Japanese Beers"
So the beer's bad because its brewed in China? Are the ingredients different from the one brewed in Japan?
I can feel some anti-china sentiment in some of the posts.
It says brewed under guidelines of ASAHI Japan but… it really doesn't taste the same. Do a comparison.
No surprise, most beers brewed in different locations taste different
Have you tasted Miller beers? It taste like cow piss!! Not that I've tasted cow piss before but the taste of Miller beers are not nice. That's probably brewed in Australia/USA/Asia?
why are they still selling this?
I quite like The Chinese Tsing Tao beer. A friend makes the Asahi bottled beer here in Adelaide (under licence) and he swears it meets all the tests that Asahi imposes. They have to send one carton out of every batch back to Japan for testing. He swears it meets all their standards and tests and believes it tastes the same. YET … it doesn't taste the same! I am sure it is the water, even though all the water is treated with RO. I think there is good reason to have a healthy distrust for Chinese products and can see why it can lead to an anti-China sentiment. They tend to value profits above anything else (including human life). Hence the Australian baby formula hoarding as well as the asbestos injected building materials finding their way into Australia. My business dealings and personal knowledge of people in China is that they will see more honour in getting a deal over the line than not lying. As a consequence, they are quite OK to lie in order to secure the business deal. This includes lying about certification to international standards. This is not one-off stuff either. Perhaps a culture change will occur soon enough but a healthy distrust is essential when doing business with Chinese in China and possibly here.
You've hit the nail on the head with my reasoning and general distrust. Business reputation, public reputation and indeed human life run a very second to maximising profit. Even a perfectly reasonable, mutually lucrative win/win deal can be undone by the drive for that extra little yuan, even if the shortcuts taken to achieve it are risky.
However, I don't think this is at all unique to the Chinese. Many people the world over will screw you if given the opportunity, but there does seem to be some sort of sport to it over there.
People have short memories, ask your grandparents about quality of Japanese products in their youth. Japan has gone through their own period of shoddy quality and business putting profits before everything.
They were surprisingly good for the price back then. Now they are precisely as good as the price from China. The Chinese culture is totally different from Japanese. I bet the boss of the dodgy Chinese baby milk factory didn't kill himself when found out. I suspect a Japanese one would have seriously contemplated it had the situation happened to him.
Except the very same 'shame' leads management to conceal extent of damage to preserve face. Fukushima as a fine example, too proud to ask international experts for help until it was too late.
Takata airbags anyone? or may be cooking corporate books at Toshiba, Olympus? Or latest scandal involving Kobe Steel doctoring QA reports
If you want something Gross to look into. Gutter Oil. Now that is some sick shit.
I think everyone needs to have a beer and calm down
Recently picked this up for $42 at First Choice. Definitely not regular Asahi! Wouldn't buy again but it doesn't taste offensively bad, just bland really.
I discovered the china thing a few years back, it wasn't on the box back then only on the bottle. Took the whole case back
I just bought a few cases of these for an upcoming social event. Had no idea they were brewed in China. May have to return them.
Can anyone recommend a better lager?
Good deal. Beat me to post by a couple of mins.
