Brewed by Abashiri Beer in Japan’s northernmost region, Drift Ice Draft (流氷ドラフト) captures the essence of Hokkaido’s Okhotsk Sea drift ice in every sip.
This eye-catching blue craft beer is made using melted drift ice water from the Sea of Okhotsk, combined with natural ingredients that create its iconic ocean-blue colour and crisp, refreshing finish.
Behind its striking appearance lies a clean, mildly malty lager with gentle hop bitterness and smooth mouthfeel — a truly unique brew that celebrates the beauty and purity of Hokkaido’s winter landscape.
