Would be rather interesting to know just where the beer, be it A-B or Kirin is bottled.
And I just got home from shopping . Next time I go out, have to check out the Kirin bottle.
Oh yeah... Oklahoma and their whacked-out liquor laws... Anything over 3.2% alcohol content by weight (volume?) has to be sold warm (read: unrefrigerated) at a retail liquor store. Not very conducive to proper storage of beer. And ya better get it before 9 p.m.!

Another case in point: the Heineken sold in Europe tastes quite a bit different than the stuff sold here. 'Domestic' (read: European) Heiney is in brown bottles; the stuff they sell here is their export version.
