Kirin Ichiban 6Pk 12Oz Bottles

Kirin Ichiban has a beautiful golden color with notes of European aroma hops and a silky, smooth taste with a balanced hop finish. Ichiban means "number one", a fitting name for our beer, which uses only the first-press of the wort. First press brewing is able to extract a higher concentration of flavor to create a distinctly crisp, smooth and full-bodied beer. The Japan Brewery Company, the forerunner of Kirin, was founded over a hundred years ago in 1885. Just three years later, in 1888, the brewing of Kirin beer began. 1990 saw the launch of Kirin Ichiban Shibori, a unique brew made exclusively from the first press of the wort. Today, Kirin Ichiban is brewed by partners all over the world. As the world’s only first press beer, Kirin Ichiban is the true embodiment of beer at its purest.
