Eighty-Eight Akita Black Rice Lager 355 ml - 6 Cans

Collab Akita Rice Lager from Eighty-Eight and Shiki Menya is back and this time dressed up in style. Using reverse osmosis, it starts with a clean water profile to go with the Akitakomachi rice and pilsner malt base. The darkness comes from a small addition of midnight wheat so, while the beer may look heavy, it’s still a light-bodied lager - just with a slight roasted note. This beer is designed to compliment the huge flavours at Shiki Menya, as well as a seat on the patio. It's ultra smooth and easy-drinking. If you've never tried a dark beer, this is the start for YOU friend! The fun stuff: to brew this stylish lager, 88 Brewing first have to cook the rice in a mash tun - so while the brewers' get to be chefs for a day, it allows them to get the maximum extraction of flavour The fun fact: Koki grew up in the Akita Prefecture and moved to Canada in 1988...this collab had to be fate. Get your hands on these sleek, black and gold cans before they're gone and keep your eyes on the horizon for our next super premium extra fresh collab!
