After last weekend's karate course taught by Kato Sensei from Japan, the Japanese theme continued back in the real world, when I went into one of the Wetherspoons pubs last week. They've got a beer festival on at the moment, with a rather fine rotating selection of real ales, and on this visit, there was a pale ale from Japan - Minagof. Obviously, the universe had meant for this beer to be in the this pub just after I'd been to a karate weekend, so, it would have been (a) rude, and (b) tempting fate if I didn't try a pint. So, try a pint is just what I did, and you know, it was damn good.
I've been back in and sampled another couple of ales, but the Minagof hasn't been on since that first time I went in.
It was fate I tell you, fate!
(*update 06/11/12 - I was in another Wetherspoons last night, and noticed that although the beer is brewed by a Japanese company, it is in fact brewed in Guam and not Japan. Regardless, it's a nice pint)
