I actually LIKE Sapporo beer. In fact, when I can't get Guinness at a
restaurant I always order a beer from the country the restaurant represents;
e.g.  Moretti if Italian, Sapporo when Japanese, Tsing Tao when Chinese,
etc. I haven't yet found a French beer.

I used to collect beer bottles as I traveled. I had well over 200 at one
time. I have been trying to get rid of old "stuff" lately and got rid of
nearly all the domestic bottles. I still have most of the international
ones.

One I wanted to keep was a Guinness Foreign Extra I got, I think, in
Malaysia. But my grandson, who loves bottles of all kinds, dropped it and
broke off the bottom :-(

I'm either looking for a home for the bottles I have left or they'll go to
te curb on recycling day...
