Heartland is a beer a brand that Kirin started in 1986 as a craft beer and beer hall in Roppongi. The beer hall has since been turned into a trendy concept bar and the beer is now made in a large factory alongside other brands, but the brand image remains that of a craft brew. Also the bottle appears not to have changed at all since the beer's initial introduction. キリン ハートランド
