Porn and beer go together like Sarah Palin and crazy, and no other pairing encapsulates a full night that requires going nowhere.

As a fan of Asian women, you spout off Japanese AV stars as your favorites, while the best your friends can come up with is Jenna Jameson. When people make offhand jokes about the supposed shenanigans of Japanese porn, you crack a knowing smile because, well, you’ve seen everything they’re talking about and more. In fact, you know Japanese to understand everything that your favorite lady says between her nuanced, breathy sighs in those videos.

You, my friend, are a true otaku of Japanese porn.

But what about the beer? In this post from Peter Payne, an American ex-pat living in Japan and the guy who runs J-List (the source for Hello Kitty vibrators and adult-sized Japanese school girl uniforms in the US), brewer Kirin plans on replacing the formula of its tasty Ichiban Shibori libation with hops, instead of the rice it traditionally uses.

The fact that Kirin uses rice instead of hops is interesting to anyone who’s ever had a passing interest in beer (read: anyone who went to college), but the post is also an interesting story of how the beverage found its way to Japan.
