HITACHINO NEST RED RICE ALE BTL 330mL

From Kiuchi Brewery (木内酒造) in Ibaraki, Japan, Hitachino Nest Red Rice Ale is one of the brewery’s most distinctive creations, made with ancient Japanese red rice (古代米) traditionally used in sake brewing.

At 7% ABV, this ale pours a deep rosy amber colour with aromas of malt, berries, and light sake-like sweetness. On the palate, expect layers of toasted grain, fruit esters, and subtle caramel, balanced by a gentle dry finish. Both elegant and adventurous, it’s a perfect example of Hitachino’s signature East-meets-West brewing style.
