There are two versions of Asahi Black. The labels are different.
BC liquor stores (about $3 each) sells bottles with Japanese labels and the Brewery Creek ($4.20 each) sells bottles with English labels from USA. I am still drinking my last batch which is the English label ones so no comparisons yet.
So good so ??? Hot pot serves Blacks for $5. They serve the BC liquor store ones. Ebisu sells Blacks for $7.20 but I don't remember which label. Posted via RS Mobile |

Just got back from BC liquor store (no.3 & Ackroyd) and they had a stack of cases.
Cost is $63.60 + tax. I added in $1 to support Richmond Dry grad so my total after everything was $67.00.
Works out to be $2.80 per bottle.
*I just realized that there's no tax on here... Does BC liquor charge taxes????? I never actually looked at a receipt from them haha
I'll post back whether its japanese label or english label when I crack open the box tomorrow.

Opened it up late last night to put a couple in the fridge.. It's a loose case of 24 so that's why liquor store doesn't sell them in smaller increments. Forgot to look at the label though, I'll confirm it tonight for you guys.
*edit confirmed Japanese labels. Not sure if it makes a difference though...

The $95 case I bought at Brewery Creek had US English labels and it came with 6-pack carrying boxes. The BC liquor store ones are loose like a fireworks cake.
I will take a comparison photo when I have time this weekend. Posted via RS Mobile |

| BC Liquor prices are all tax included.
Edit: At least, that's what I'm told from my buddy that works there.

Creamier than the regular Asahi, a bit similer to Heineken Dark
For me, I prefer Santory Melt's |
