Today we are heading over to Japan to take a gander at Hitachino Nest White Ale. Hitachino Nest is a a brand line of beer that was introduced into the market in 1996 by
Kiuchi Brewery. Kiuchi Brewery is located in Ibaraki, Japan and was founded in 1823 by Kiuchi Gihel.
At the time Kiuchi Gihei was the headman of Kounosu village and was collecting rice from farmers as land taxes. Kiuchi Gihel, with the remainder of the rice stocks in the warehouse, had the idea to start a brewery. Kiuchi produces beer, shochu, sake, and combines European beer-making with the traditional Japanese brewing techniques. Hitachino Nest White Ale is one of eleven craft beers from the line of Hitachino Nest and is labeled as a 5%ABV Belgian White Witbier.
Available year round the Hitachino Nest White Ale packs a little bit of Belgium, German, and a Japan in a 12oz bottle. The pour is a cloudy hazy gold with the aroma of orange, lemon, coriander, and fresh herbal notes blasting out of the bottle with not much head. As you put the bottle to your lips you can feel the citrus and orange through out your mouth and the two are beautifully well balanced with the wheat flavor. Hitachino Nest White Ale is very crisp and fresh with light amounts of carbonation making it very easy to drink. The latest development in The Kiuchi Brewery is the wine brewing project. Kiuchi recently bought 4000 square meters of land next to the brewery for a vineyard. No wine has been produced or sold yet but there will be some in the near future.
