Hitachino Nest "The Owl" Beer





Hitachino Nest Beer aka "The Owl" beer is one of the top-selling beers in both Japan and US founded in 1996 by Kiuchi Brewery. This award winning beer is available in 10 different flavors and each well designed bottle features a unique red and white owl on the label and bottle cap. I am one of those gals who are not found of beer but I'll buy this one in a heart beat solely for it's lovely packaging.

    Oooh I love beer! And the packaging and logo on these is just gorgeous - what a winning combination hehe! I've never seen it in Australia, but I wonder if I might be able to find it in some boutique shops?

    I don't drink alcohol, but would definitely buy these just for the bottles, and I'd have my boyfriend drink the beer since he's a self-proclaimed beer snob ;)

    I'm a HUGE fan of the White Ale. Can be pricey though. I believe I paid around $6/bottle at Uwajimaya. The cute owls help take the sting off tho ;)

    I've actually tried this beer -- it's really good, and that's not just my predisposition to love owl things talking!

    @ Anonymous I read some comments by HN beer fans that these bottles are available in Whole Foods stores in the US like Trader Joe's.


    @ Bee This website ships this beer anywhere in Australia http://www.internationalbeershop.com.au/products.asp?product_id=1536
