TODAY: JAPAN V. PARAGUAY

This should be an intriguing match up. Japan is an exciting team to watch and like the US team very difficult to beat this year. I wouldn’t be surprised to see them reach the semi-finals.

The best known of Japanese beers is Sapporo. Might be time to hear the whoosh when a can opens of their trademark oversize silver cans.

World Cup + World Beer – Paraguay

TODAY: PARAGUAY V. ITALY

Rather than take the easy way out and choose a beer from Baladin or one of the other Italian micros that are putting out great and dramatically different beers, I opt to head to Paraguay for a cool, refreshing macro water lager.
