      • Set it to your local store?
        It showed $43 for me too until I set it to mine (Glen Waverley).
        Then the price changed to $40

        Cans still from Japan and from the keg its still from Japan - Source - mate who is Asahi rep in SA.

        • Yeah. I thought the taste would be identical, I was so wrong.

          I love 500ml cans but they can get expensive to buy.330-375 cans are pathetic and I don't like buying them.

          This is coming up at $70 for me: https://www.danmurphys.com.au/product/DM_798161/asahi-super-… Not too bad.

          I wish I bought that rather than shitty 24 of 330ml Chinese.

  • $40.00 per case of 24

    $18.99 per pack of 6

    $4.19 per bottle (in store)

    $43 in NSW because of the Return and Scam scheme.

      Just $40 in Melbs, so dumping your empty bottles on St Kilda Beach's free.

    Any opinions on if the beer is any good rather than where it's from?

    • No diff between this and Tooheys Extra Dry, I'd rather support 'Local' beers than Int beers brewed/made here.

      Edit: Tooheys also owned by foreigner now, FFS.

    • Most Japanese branded beer is great but unfortunately the ones brewed anywhere outside of Japan isn't the greatest, for the price I'm sure you couldn't find better?

        Go 6 packs of these much better, brewed in japan. Quality>quantity

          These are the new 350ml cans, not their 500ml ones. I made the mistake of posting a deal last week assuming these were 500 and got the mods to remove it.

          Aldi sales are better for the 500ml or when they go on sale elsewhere.

        • @aspirepranesh:

          Oh what

          Cheers mate was gonna head there after work saved me the disappointment

        • @jno: All good mate. Dan seemed to have released the new 350 ml cans recently and it's catching a few people off guard!

        • offer expires end of January. Also for the 330ml bottles.
          note the cans are indeed 350ml but the shelf label special states 330ml.

          Needed some beer tonight for a Sri Lankan curry, these worked a treat.

    • I actually think they are great. I'm always hesitant when brewed locally but after seeing a bunch of Japanese people buying cases of them a month ago I decided to grab one and wasn't disappointed. Great for $40

      • Maybe they didn't realise either

        • They definitely didn't. This tastes much worse than the real thing.

    What's the normal price?

  • is it a dry style beer?

    • +1

      It's a sweeter lager compared to most other beers. I very much like the after taste.

  • +1

    Now to find a competitor that stocks the real shizzle (Jap) and get them to price match or beat.

  • +5

    $8 Fifth Leg SSB and $12 St Hallett Faith Shiraz today only as well.. much better bargains esp. the St Hallett

    • I like the Grant Burge sparkling at $16 too.

  • +1

    Get any local and independent craft beer instead

  • Just be patriotic and get our best beers instead. VB and XXXX. Proudly aussie and beer so good it can only be made by Australians

    • Ugh. No thanks. Or was that sarcasm?

    • Don't forget the gorgeous Great Northern. The beer from up there!! Makes VB taste like Bollinger Champagne.

      • Great northern tastes like Carlton cold, almost identical.

        I'm pretty happy with squire, thought it can be a tad pricey.
        Sukai anyone?

    • Castlemaine Perkins(XXXX) is a brewery located in Milton, Brisbane, Queensland, Australia. It is a wholly owned entity of the Japanese-controlled Lion company.

    1 case left at castle hill fridge at 2pm. Thanks op

  • Does anyone know where to pick up Kirin Ichiban (White label with gold/brown print)? Without breaking the bank?
