It's nearly the weekend.
You might be looking forward to a beer or a takeaway or both.

It's World Business Express from the BBC World Service.
I'm Sarah Rogers.
Yes,
Japan is running super dry of its favorite beer after a cyberattack and we're talking TikTok in Indonesia and the government shut down in the US.
Yes,
but we'll start in Japan where stocks of Asahi beer could run out over the weekend after a cyberattack crippled factories at the country's biggest brewer.

Let me show you.
Most of the Asahi Group's factories in Japan have been at a standstill
since Monday after the attack hit its ordering and delivery system.
Asahi, a household brand best known for its super-dry beer,
said earlier this week that the system failure is limited to its domestic operations.
Major Japanese retailers, including Family Mart and Lawson,
have warned customers to expect shortages of Asahi goods.
