Beer Shortage – Kirin Halts Production of Several Drinks
If you like any of the above-pictured drinks, I’m afraid I have some bad news for you. Kirin has announced that it will have to halt production of those beverages :
The decision was made because Kirin’s Sendai factory suffered considerable damage from the March 11th earthquake. There is also a shortage of aluminum cans.
List of Kirin Beer drinks that will stop production:
- キリン クラシックラガー
- 淡麗ダブル
- キリンゼロ〈生〉
- キリン 円熟
- キリン ストロングセブン
- キリン コクの時間〈贅沢麦〉
- キリン 本格〈辛口麦〉
- キリン 濃い味〈糖質０（ゼロ）〉
- キリン 休む日のAlc.0.00％
Asahi Beer is also having similar problems. It has announced a temporary halt to the production of its “Strong Off” drinks.
