Exhibit of Foreign and Colonial Beers (part seven)

Three weeks I'll be away in Singapore and Australia. Leaving me with loads of posts to load up before I leave. This series will spawn so many posts. Exactly what I need.

Beers from another couple of exotic countries: Russia and Japan.

Russia.— These beers arrived too late for the exhibition.
The Brewers' Journal vol. 38 1902, November 15th 1902, page 672 - 674.

Not a good start. Note that all the beers came from Warsaw, one of the most westerly cities in the Russian Empire.

A dark lager from the Brasserie Francois Lutoslawski Fils, Drozdowo, labelled Piwo Drozdowskie Marcowe, of high gravity, drank very full, but was somewhat too sweet. It is awarded three marks. The dark lager Zakopianskie E. Key ch Synowye, Warsaw, was a good beer. It is also given three marks.

The Lezak of the Brasserie Carl Machlejd, Warsaw, was an excellent full-pale lager. It is awarded three marks. Whilst the Pilsen of E. Bey ch Synowye, Warsaw, drank thin. It is given two marks.

Are we to assume that all the other beers scored one? It's not very clear.

Only two beers from Japan. And a mineral water, for some reason.

Japan.— The lager beer of the Sapporo Brewery Company was a very fair beer. It is awarded two marks.

Now there's faint praise for you.

Still lots more of this to come.
