Kirishima Beer is a craft beer brewery located in Miyazaki, in Kyushu, Japan. The parent company started out life as shochu distillery back in 1916, with the brewery starting out in 1998. However, in 2016, they decided to revamp their lineup and brewery. This revamp saw an expansion in their manufacturing line, a redesign of their beers, and a focus on using as much local produce where possible. This meant that Kirishima Beer uses local spring water from the underground system known as Kirishima Reika Water, which is also the same water used in their shochu production.
