About This Beer
When creating the ultimate brew to serve with food, it helps to call in a culinary expert. Which is exactly what Peter Ziel, owner and CEO of Alesmith, did.
Lucky for him (and for all of us), he had just the right family connection — cousin Sam Ziel, cookbook author, restaurateur, and popular Youtuber Sam The Cooking Guy. Together, they crafted this Japanese Rice Lager using premium Thai Hom Mali jasmine rice.
Tasting Notes

Light adjunct/rice aroma and flavor. Light bodied, crisp, clean and refreshing. Tastes a lot like the Hanamachi from Bottle Logic. Both good.
