We cannot quite see through the motive of the visit to Japan of several brewers from the Rhine, who are reported to have, started for the Far East in order to influence the German beer trade in the Land of the Rising Sun. All the beer we have seen in Japan, and the quantity was not limited, was distinctly German in appearance, taste and description. Perhaps it may have been German beer brewed in Japan, or in the United States, and in such case the MR. F. F. Foster, residing at "Beansite" in the visit of the Rhine brewers is comprehensible.
