Taiwan Pijiu, hun hao huh?



Many people talk about the "nutritional qualities" that Taiwan Beer has. Are these any different from any other beer? Or is it part of that supposed secret ingredient of formaldehyde that people say is lurking in Taiwan Beer. I'll tell you what, this stuff gives me a fierce headache. I was lucky enough to find some while I was in Japan last year in a tiny little noodle stand around the corner from a spaced-out Grateful Dead bar outside of Tokyo. I have to admit, it did taste great with the msg-laden Taiwanese noodles I was eating. But I paid the price of having a few too many of these and some other Japanese beers, waking up with a tin can for a skull the next morning.

tincan hangovers are why they invented Whisbih!

I think there's some rule that once you get baptized in Whisbih by the Reverend Bob, its magical effects stop working on you.
