TOKYO, Wednesday May 24, 2023 - Kirin Brewery Company, Limited (Kirin Brewery) will revise manufacturer prices for beer products, other kegged products, and imported whiskies and spirits delivered from October 1, 2023.

Kirin Brewery has made various corporate efforts and management rationalizations, including cost reductions and productivity improvements throughout the business, in order to provide consumers with high-quality, safe, and reliable products at a reasonable price. However, the recent sharp rises in raw material prices, energy costs, and transportation costs have made it difficult to absorb the cost increases in some products through corporate efforts alone. Therefore, in order to continue to provide safe and reliable products to our consumers, Kirin Brewery has unavoidably decided to implement price revisions for some of its products.

Kirin Brewery will continue to work to improve management efficiency and ensure the stable delivery of high-quality, safe, and reliable products to consumers.

Since some items will be subject to price revisions due to liquor tax revisions starting on the same day, some products will be subject to both revisions.
