A Quest for Sapporo Black Label Extra Brew: Can You Help?
If you’re a beer enthusiast, you know the thrill of discovering a unique brew that quickly becomes a favorite. Recently, I’ve found myself on a passionate quest for a specific beer that has eluded me since my trip to Japan in the spring of 2024. I’m reaching out to the community to see if anyone has any leads on where I might purchase “Sapporo Black Label Extra Brew,” specifically the pale blue can version that I fell in love with during my travels.
During my time exploring the streets of Japan, my friends and I stumbled upon this delightful brew in virtually every convenience store we visited. It was refreshing and distinct, quickly becoming a staple of our daily adventures. Unfortunately, I later discovered that it was a limited edition, and now it seems nearly impossible to find. I’m even prepared to pay significantly more than its original value just to have the opportunity to enjoy it again.
I came across a listing for the beer on Amazon Japan, but it is currently out of stock, leaving my hopes dashed. You can view the listing here.
I understand that locating this limited edition beer is a long shot, and I may be facing an uphill battle. However, I remain hopeful that someone in this community might know where to find it or have suggestions on alternatives that could come close. Thank you all in advance for any assistance you can provide on this quest! Cheers!
