Kirin Beer

I think Kirin make a variety of great beers. I often drink Heartland, which is tasty and easy is drink.  In the Autumn I drank Kirin's akiagi, which is one of my favourite beers, but I have to wait to next Autumn to drink it again. But recently, I found two new beers made by Kirin. The first is GRAND KIRIN IPA, IPA is short for Indian Pale Ale. Many breweries around the world make IPAs, but they were developed in England around 1840 to be exported to India for British citizens living there. IPA is a very easy to drink beer with a hoppy taste. I think Kirin's version is fantastic, it is both full of flavor and refreshing. The next new Kirin beer for me is GRAND KIRIN JPL, Japan Pale Lager. This was a completely new beer for me and a wonderful surprise. This is a lager beer with a hoppy taste, a great combination and I highly recommend it. I think Kirin is both an innovative and leading Japanese brewery.
