Not enough linked mention summaries yet; the source excerpts below are the evidence.

Pros

  • Sapporo and Asahi are other favorites of mine.
  • Parent context: For me quality is about the analytical and journalistic depth, trying to report things in a neutral tone and sticking to facts while being transparent in editorials and opinion pieces + not having a lot of clickbaity stuf...
  • For the everyday 6-pack in the fridge, I rotated Kirin and Asahi (Japanese obviously, but I believe both were brewed in China).
  • Sapporo (Premium, not Reserve which is all-malt), Kirin Ichiban, and Asahi are the obvious more widely available alternatives.
  • The Asahi execs do **not** fuck around with quality; I know this from personal experience from when I worked for a company that briefly contract-brewed for them. They have very high expectations and will hold people to them.

Cons

  • The Asahi is considered more left-leaning but basically centrist on economic issues.
  • Asahi is now brewed in Wisconsin.
  • I ordered a "Japanese" beer, an Asahi. On the label, it said it was brewed in Italy. I don't know how that is the most efficiently supply chain to produce a beer
  • while the Asahi and Mainichi lean liberal.
  • It’s not just lagers like Asahi and Kirin.

Parent context: For me quality is about the analytical and journalistic depth, trying to report things in a neutral tone and sticking to facts while being transparent in editorials and opinion pieces + not having a lot of clickbaity stuff (i.e. not tabloids or rags like the daily mail) which I find to be the most true for the mentioned papers whether or not they advocate for leftist or rightwing ideas. I've read a bit of Asahi and the depth of some of their stories seems to be pretty great
