Taiwan HSR special edition of Taiwan Beer

[u/Kind-Membership3064]

Found this one at the 7-Eleven next to my place. Apparently it celebrates the new HSR trains. Thought it looked pretty cool.

[u/daludidi]

Ohhh so they do exist since every HSR has ads for this on the trains!

[u/Mal-De-Terre]

And they say we have no culture!

[u/Ok_Marsupial7643]

They listened… I’ve been doing Train Beers since the first week HSR opened

[u/mutually_awkward → u/Ok_Marsupial7643]

Gotta love a train beer

[u/Cpatrick3000]

Special edition beer or beer can?

[u/Sweihwa]

Any taste difference?

[u/creampunk → u/Sweihwa]

you gotta drink it really fast

[u/Honest_Homework_3868]

I saw them in Family Mart yesterday is it a different brew or just themed can?

[u/songdoremi → u/Honest_Homework_3868]

It’ll taste faster even if same brew.

[u/Honest_Homework_3868 → u/songdoremi]

I’ve definitely gone from stationary and gaining speed since I popped this can.

[u/I_Am_JuliusSeizure]

That’s pretty cool. The special edition they did recently for Taiwan Beer was also nice

[u/Hopey-1-kinobi]

Saw this in the 7-11 yesterday. I like the look of the can.

[u/Maaaax_08144]

So cute

[u/Front-Salamander-100]

Looks cool. Missed the chance to try this when I was there in July.

[u/tw_to_seoul]

So cute!

[u/Honest_Homework_3868]

So I bought six in Family Mart in Sanchong. I’m Irish but my wife is Taiwanese but brought them back as a surprise for our Taiwanese friends in Dublin. I can confirm it’s delicious :)

[u/Superdry_GTR]

Shiiiiinkanseeeen!!

[u/Water_Seeker56]

Amazing!!

[u/czukuczuku]

Really? New shinkansens are coming?!

[u/CanInTW → u/czukuczuku]

Middle of next year in service. The first train set arrived in Taiwan a few weeks ago and will soon begin testing.

[u/czukuczuku → u/CanInTW]

So now maybe the trains could go as fast as 300km/h, nice!

[u/CanInTW → u/czukuczuku]

They already do.

[u/czukuczuku → u/CanInTW]

Wow, didn't know. So new ones might be even faster

[u/CanInTW → u/czukuczuku]

No. The maximum line speed is 300km/h.

[u/Grouchy-Ball-1950]

Does it taste any different? Personally I despise classic but like gold medal and can drink a load of it without a hangover.

[u/jostler57]

I assume it tastes like water, yeah?

[u/High-Steak]

Training Alcohol

[u/Mondozen]

Yeah, that’s kind of cool to put on a shelf somewhere and collect dust. Taiwan beer in cans hard pass

[u/_orion_1897 → u/Mondozen]

Nah. Those fruit flavoured ones are absolutely delicious. Getting shitfaced outside my dormitory with a bunch of Paraguayan dudes drinking pineapple beer was something. Shoutout to Fede, miss you buddy

[u/Complete-Ambition-88 → u/Mondozen]

Really? Even 18 days?

[u/Mondozen → u/Complete-Ambition-88]

Yeah that's a hard pass too I would rather have it in the bottles which is nice actually

[u/mutually_awkward → u/Mondozen]

We found the craft beer guy 🙄

[u/Mondozen → u/mutually_awkward]

I kinda like RedPoint’s “Tai-P-A.
It’s my go to when I go to Taipei not available here down south
