 Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Asahi Super Dry at Epinions.com
In fact, Asahi, which developed the dry beer process managed to parlay their technological wonder beer into a bona fide tsunami of sales, catapulting them into the front ranks of Japanese beer sales and knocking formerly untouchable Sapporo Lager for a loop as drinkers turned to the much lower quality, but "fashionable" dry beer.
Dry beers also undergo an extended lagering period to smooth the body as far as possible, and then they are all filtered at extremely fine levels --- unacceptably fine levels for any other style --- not only to remove yeast and proteins, but also to deliberately remove flavor contributors and to lighten the color.
Asahi Super Dry is a plague on the beer drinking world that should be avoided at all cost ---- the only thing worse to be exported from the Far East is the SARS virus --- but a vial of SARS virus has more flavor and probably won't give you the runs as badly.

 Brew Review - Beer & Brewing Terms
Ice beer is frozen slightly during the brewing process and the the ice crystals removed, in hopes that the flavor and alcohol content will be more concentrated.
Alcohol, with 7.1 calories per gram, is the major calorie contributor in beer, so brewers add water to reduce alcohol content or use a special enzyme to change the unfermentable dextrins into fermentable sugars, thus allowing the addition of even more water without diluting alcohol content so much.
Malt is made by steeping a grain (usually barley or wheat) in water until it starts to sprout and then drying and roasting it to convert the starch to fermentable sugar.

DRY BEER: Originally a style in Germany where carbohydrates were diminished by a very thorough fermentation (creating a high alcohol content), dry beer was popularized by Japanese brewers.

My fiance told the hall to cancel the beer and to change the sign to say "By request of the bride and groom, alcohol will not be served." The hall knows that any changes need to be approved by us.
