Owlsome Hitachino Nest Brewery, established in 2015 in Hong Kong, as the sister brewery of Japan's Kiuchi Brewery. Together, our goal is to bring the freshest Hitachino Nest Beers to our customers in Asia.

Hitachino Nest Beers originate from the Kiuchi Brewery, which was established in 1823 by Kiuchi Gihei, the headman of the Kounosu village. His family collected land tax from farmers in the form of rice on behalf of the Mito Tokugawa family. To effectively utilize the rice collected, Kiuchi Gihei founded a sake brewery. Since then, Kiuchi Brewery continues to produce the highest quality sake using the best ingredients and finest craftsmanship.

In 1996, the Kiuchi Brewery began brewing beer and created the first Hitachino Nest Beer. The brewery is very highly regarded and is recognized as one of the most reputable microbreweries in Japan. Hitachino Nest Beers have won numerous international beer awards since its conception in 1996 and continues to do so to this day.
