Beer lovers, history lovers, food fetishists, take note.
In December, Kirin will be bringing to market two limited edition lagers that are recreations of brews the company sold in the late 19th and early 20th centuries.
Expected to be available throughout Japan, the revival beverages are being released to celebrate Kirin's 120th anniversary.
In 2006, the company sold similar products for a short time. While today's Kirin contains ingredients like rice and starch in addition to hops and barley, early incarnations did without starch or contained hops and barley only.
