Some slippery marketing in having the Japanese flag on a beer from a brewery in Guam - territory of the U.S. of A.

However, the beer was brewed in the U.K., like all 'Spoons festival beers, and the brewer who flew to the U.K. to do (oversee?) the brewing is Japanese himself, so I'll allow it.

Yes, thinking about things like this really is part of my day job. <img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/icon_neutral.gif" alt="" title="Neutral" />
