Balashi is brewed in the island and you can tour the brewery every morning. I believe the tour is at 9 and 10 every weekday morning.

That's a pretty good deal. I will be bringing home a beer souvenir this year. LOL - that rhymed!

yes
I have always brought it back and purchased at the Airport. (It was 5 bucks a six pack now they increased the price to 6 dollars.) But always purchased downstairs just before US customs. This was the 1st time I noticed that they were selling it up on the 2nd level by the boarding gate.

I think we have a winner!
OK...I am looking forward to this taste test.
Uh...63 days until my first Balashi!

Balashi is great, but I enjoy a relaxing evening at the Paddock with a pitcher of Heineken. The great part about ordering a pitcher is that the server never comes back to your table and you can truly relax and enjoy the evening!
