On your grail list. We'll tell you when it lands.This is the 2nd of 30 filings we hold from Kirin. It is one of 101 american lager / light lager labels approved in June 2026. It cleared 2 days after it was filed. It was brewed under contract — NEW BELGIUM BREWING, New Belgium Brewing Company, Inc. holds the permit, which is ordinary in the register and easy to miss on a shelf.
A galloping horse with flowing golden mane and feathered wings appears in profile at the upper center, rendered in yellow, black, and red ink against a cream ground. The beast's body is covered in black scales with red detailing, and it leaps across the label beneath an arc of orange text reading "KIRIN PREMIUM LAGER". Below sits a bold orange banner containing the brewery name in white sans-serif capitals, with Japanese characters centered underneath. The composition is symmetrical and frontal, anchored by the winged horse emblem.
From the label“Kirin Ichiban is the pinnacle in our century-long quest for a beer more perfected where the finest ingredients meet attention to every detail.”
