Notice Regarding Price Revision For Kirin Brewery Products In Western Liquor, RTDs and Kegged Products

TOKYO, Thursday May 16, 2024 - Kirin Brewery Company, Limited (Kirin Brewery) will revise the producer prices for certain products in Western liquor, RTDs* and kegged products delivered from Sunday, September 1, 2024.
*Ready to Drink: canned mixed cocktails such as chuhais, etc.

In order to deliver high-quality, safe and reliable products at reasonable prices, we have been working hard to improve productivity and reduce costs in all aspects of our business and have been making efforts to improve our corporate management and rationalize our operations.

However, due to the global rise in transport, raw material and other costs, the prices of some products delivered by brand owners to Kirin Brewery have changed. In addition, with various costs rising in Japan as well, against a background of rising transport, raw material and other costs, Kirin Brewery found it difficult to absorb the cost increases through corporate efforts alone, and therefore decided, out of necessity, to implement price revisions for some of its products.

Kirin Brewery will continue its efforts to improve management efficiency and work to ensure the stable delivery of high-quality, safe and reliable products to consumers.
