Sapporo 100 Year Barley Malt Beer

This limited edition 2nd category beer from Sapporo uses a special malting process which has been used for over 100 years by the Czech company, Family brewery BERNARD a.s.. The process uses a labor intensive method of spreading out the barley much thinner than usual for malting which results in finer malt and a mellow taste. サッポロ、麦芽、ビール

Kamakura Beer Happy Father's Day

 

Kamakura Beer, a local craft brewery, is still selling a limited edition beer called "Happy Father's Day" and is a Kolsch-type beer. There are words of praise to a father on the label and a somewhat regrettable direct translation to English. I do like the label though, which has a nice ocean theme, recognizing the popular beach at Kamakura.
