Yay Beer!!! What's with the extra-long name, though? Cherry Beer wasn't good enough?

How is this fruity canned beverage related to beer?

It's now beer. It's a chu-hai.
The blurb is just giving Asahi Beer as the company name, although it's more properly rendered in English as Asahi Breweries.

I've been here a year, and I have no clue what chu-hai is, is it any good?

Yebisu is the only standard issue Japanese Beer that I find drinkable. The rest are comparable to cardboard flavoured water, ie Super Dry, Kirin. I actually prefer chu-hi to most of the beer here!

Another fake beer product targeted towards the masses who don't like the taste plain beer.

Beer = water, hops, malted barley and yeast. It's really very simple. This is not beer.
Actually Asahi doesn't even call this beer but the headline is ridiculous.

Wait a minute - low alcohol beverage? 4% ABV?
It's half as strong as the rocket-fuel chuhai I drink when in a rush, but that's not low-alcohol, surely?

This should be titled "Enjoy an Asahi Chu-hai summer."
The best chu-hai is ume chu-hai.
The best happoshu is Sapporo's new Yutaka. Nice light taste, very drinkable, with 5% alcohol and half the carbohydrates.

I'll have an Asahi summer with my usual super dry. Somehow "low alcohol" isn't much of a selling point for me.
