i’m a sucker for great packaging and this beer by japanese company kiuchi brewery was too cute to pass up. while waiting for a table at little dishes in park slope (the night i saw harold from top chef) i spotted this beer and came back the next night to bring a bottle home. kiuchi makes a beer called “hitachino nest” that was created in 1996 that has a hint of their traditional sake brewing method mixed in. it’s clearly the owl character that hooked me because well, i’m not a big beer person. click here for more info on kiuchi and their cute owl beer. enjoy! (with a lemon slice, preferably)

super cute. i’ll have to look out for it.
Do you know where this might be avail. in California?
not only are these beers cute, they’re also terrific to drink!
the white nest beer is a particular favorite of mine, so not only will you look super cute sipping one of these at your local bar, you’ll also look super chic as they’re considered a sort of “cult” beer
prost!
these are amazing!
i’ve seen them at whole foods, i bought one because of the cute owl too!
this is good beer. drink it out of a glass with the bottle stationed on the bar next to the glass! and no lemon slices please … drinking (a) straight from the bottle or (b) with a lemon slice only makes you look uninitiated. I’m being serious here.
uninitiated? like, into the fun owl beer club?
i like my white beer with lemon slices, tastes yummy, initiated or not.
to each his own ;)
d*s
Hi! This is Hide from Japan .This beer is from my hometown. Actually, my girlfriend, who is a designer, saw this homepage and showed me . White Ale won Gold at the world Beer Cup in 2004. Kiuchi Syuzo (Brewery) also makes Yuzu Ale and Espresso Porter beer. These labels are also cute.
aw, my friend helena has a necklace made from a kiuchi beer cap on sale at her etsy shop! check it out: http://www.thejubjubbird.etsy.com
have you checked out Steel Toe Studios belts lately? i have a belt buckle with the bottle cap of this beer in the middle
We were able to get this at Bev Mo in California. I think that it might be available at bevmo.com.
its a great beer!
do you know the name of the artist who designed these labels? i really like them.
haha i bought this beer strictly for the packaging too. i didn’t like the beer much (it was good, just not my taste), but i saved the bottle and set in on my windowsill. my cat knocks it over almost every day.
