About 'Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label' Since its debut in 1977 under the name 'Sapporo Bin Nama' (Bottled Draft), 'Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label' has been loved by many customers. At a time when heat-treated beers were the mainstream, it was a pioneering product that paved the way for the era of draft beer. Featuring a perfect balance of malt umami and a refreshing aftertaste, as well as creamy foam that keeps the taste and aroma fresh, it aims to be a beer loved by adults who enjoy beer. With themes such as 'Adult's Draft.' and 'Don't be round, be a star.', Black Label provides the joy of adults choosing a beer that fits their style and expressing their adult selves. Furthermore, since 2019, the flagship beer bar 'Sapporo Draft Beer Black Label THE BAR' in Ginza, Tokyo, has been providing an experience to taste high-quality draft beer thoroughly committed to serving standards alongside the worldview of Black Label.
