HEAD BEER: A Craft Beer Journey from Taiwan to Japan
In an exciting development for beer enthusiasts and foodies alike, the craft beer brand HEAD BEER has officially launched its brand site. This new website, designed by Tokyo Tea Trading, went live on June 2, 2023, and marks a significant step in promoting unique craft beers originating from Taiwan. The brand offers a variety of flavors inspired by Taiwanese tea, flowers, and fruits, appealing to both local and international consumers.
About HEAD BEER
Established in Taiwan in 2015, HEAD BEER emerged from a collaboration between Taiwan Head Brewers and Tokyo Tea Trading. Since its inception, it has focused on innovative brewing techniques, garnering attention and accolades in the craft beer community. The brand made its debut in Japan this year, introducing five carefully selected beers from its acclaimed “二十四節氣シリーズ” (Twenty-Four Seasons Series). These beers have received numerous awards in global competitions, showcasing their exceptional quality and creativity.
The Brand Concept
The philosophy behind HEAD BEER is that craft beer should be aromatic and rich in flavor. The “二十四節氣シリーズ” is inspired by the traditional Taiwanese calendar, which divides the year into 24 distinct solar terms. Each beer represents the essence of these seasons, crafted using local ingredients such as frozen Dong Ding Oolong tea and Taiwanese pomelos. These unique elements contribute to the distinct aromas and flavor profiles, setting HEAD BEER apart from conventional brews.
The newly launched brand site features detailed descriptions of each beer variant, showcasing the unique ingredients and brewing processes. It provides insights into the passionate brewers behind the scenes, highlighting their dedication and vision. Additionally, the site offers pairing suggestions to enhance the experience of enjoying these flavorful beers with various dishes.
