Sapporo Black has made its way to Australian stores, with Coopers Premium Beverages the distributer for the new product around the country.

Coopers Premium Beverages brand manager Andrew Brooks said the Sapporo brand is recognised worldwide for its quality, as the new product is brewed with the attention to detail and precision of Japanese beer.

“Sapporo Black is designed to challenge consumers’ perspective of Japanese beer styles while diversifying the portfolio and reaching a broader audience,” said Brooks.

“It is bold and flavourful, yet smooth and crisp in the classic Sapporo fashion, with a refined hop bitterness complemented by sweet round fullness.

 “It pairs well with hearty and spicy dishes such as traditional Asian, Cajun and Latin cuisines. It also works well with crème brulee or stands by itself at barbeques, parties and celebrations.”

Sapporo Black is presented in the traditional Sapporo 650ml “silver bullet” style can and has a five per cent ABV.

It will be available in liquor stores around Australia for RRP $8.00.
