San Diego Pale Ale .394 commemorates MLB player Tony Gwynn's batting
average in 1994, which was the highest since Ted Williams hit .406 in
1941. The beer is pretty good, too.

Kanazawa Hyakumangoku Pale Ale, another souvenir-type beer, has an
interesting name, which references a form of wealth in pre-modern Japan.
One million koku = five million bushels of rice -- but the beer has
only a miserly amount of aroma and flavor.

Kizakura Camphor Pale Ale does not have camphor in it. It does, however, have a picture of a camphor flower on the can. Why? Well, apparently it uses 10% barley from Saga prefecture, and camphor is the official flower of that prefecture.... Uh-huh.....
