SAPPORO
It's the one for sale at Safeway in the big, stainless steel can. It's virtually uncrushable. When you leave your beer cans out for aluminum recycling, you find your steel Sapporo cans left behind as unrecycleable. When that big idiot guy claims he can smash beer cans against his forehead, this is the one that leads to his hospitalization. In San Francisco, this is the beer that the sushi restaurants sell. To be honest, I'm not sure it's really beer. It has a higher-than-average percentage of alchohol, has not even a hint of hops taste to it and I've been told it's actually a malt liquor, making it not technically a beer. Well, it may well be in the same category as Olde English, Colt45 and Mickey's, but when you only have a couple of dollars in your pocket and you see that big steel can in the supermarket and you remember the crisp, easy flavor . . .
