Sapporo is a name synonymous with high-quality Japanese beer, representing Japan's oldest and one of its most globally recognized beer brands.
Sapporo Breweries traces its roots back to 1876 with the founding of the Kaitakushi Beer Brewery in Sapporo, Hokkaido, the northern island of Japan. The first brewmaster was Seibei Nakagawa, a Japanese brewer who studied the craft in Germany, bringing the cold-brewing techniques of a German lager back home.
Today, Sapporo Premium is the embodiment of that 140+ year legacy, standing as one of the world's most popular Asian beers.
Sapporo Premium is a Japanese Rice Lager (though marketed as a Pale Lager), highly valued for its exceptional drinkability and clean flavor profile.
