After six years of living in Cambodia and drinking mostly Anchor, I developed a allergy to it and came out in red blotches after half a can. Never having been a fan of Laos, Crown, Bayon or any of the other brews on the market, I was at a loss on the lager beer front. Thankfully Asahi began to be imported in quantity around this time and I found it did not bring on a reaction (not the red blotches anyway). Three cheers to the Japanese master brewers and the Germans (or was it the Dutch) who taught them their trade! Asahi saved my life (well nearly).

The day Asahi arrived was a happy day indeed. Also, if you go to Kokoro's, you get to drink Japanese beer with Toshi, which is always a blast.

I'd take an Angkor Extra Stout over Asahi, but Japanese Asahi does make for a less filling, late afternoon barbecue beer.
