Who’s cashing in on the Asahi beer class action?

Asahi beer suit
Apparently if you bought Asahi between 2013 and 2018 you are eligible to participate in the suit. I’ve bought a few bottles at sushi restaurants, so I’ve got to be looking at $12-$14 bucks at least.
Anyone else cashing in?

Plaintiff Alexander Panvini of Seattle says the labeling on Asahi Super Dry beer is deceptively designed to make consumers think it’s brewed in Japan and imported to North America. In fact, he says, Asahi is brewed in Canada by the Molson company.

He accuses defendant Asahi Beer USA Inc. of purposely creating the impression that Asahi Super Dry is imported from Japan so that consumers will be willing to pay

I always knew this. It's printed right on the bottles. In small print, though.
How do I cash out? I bought maybe a 6 pack's worth.

The only time I've had Asahi in that time frame was in Japan. I'm assuming that was not made in Canada.

Every Thursday night I consumed at least 2 of the large format bottles while having dinner at sushi Yama for at least 5 years.
That ought to be worth at least tree fiddy

Tell me when we start suing Dixie for brewing their swill in Yankeeland for the last decade and a half.

I didn't see where they mention what was the deceptive part of the packaging.

I thought I bought some “Japanese” beer when I was in Hawaii in 2007. Back at the room, I read the cans, and realized it was made in Milwaukee.

I've been to Seattle. Could have been me.

Panvini points out several elements on the Asahi Super Dry label that he says would lead a reasonable consumer to think it was brewed in Japan.
The label describes the product as the “most popular high-quality beer in Japan,” “Japan’s No. 1 Beer” and “Japan’s first dry beer.” The label also uses Japanese lettering to describe the beer’s taste. And, the product itself is named after the Japanese city of Asahi, Panvini says.
Even though the label discloses that Asahi Super Dry is brewed in Canada, Panvini says that disclosure – in “small, non-descript writing” – isn’t adequate to counter the strong impression created by the rest of the labeling.

Thanks. I literally skipped that whole section. My fault for quickly scanning.
