Hitachino Nest White Ale

Belgian-style white beer from the Kiuchi brewery in Naka (Ibaraki Prefecture), founded in 1823 by village chief Kiuchi Gihei to produce sake. The brewery has brewed beer since 1996, following the relaxation of Japan’s law on small breweries, under the Hitachino Nest brand, recognizable by its owl. Flavored with coriander, orange peel, and nutmeg, White Ale has won two gold medals at the World Beer Cup.
