Lion Red

Lion Red is a New Zealand ale beer brewed by Lion Breweries in Auckland, part of Lion a subsidiary of Japanese beverage conglomerate Kirin. The beer is 4.0% alcohol. Because of its relatively low alcohol content it is widely regarded as an excellent 'session' beer, that is, a beer that can be consumed freely over a long session of time without all the adverse effects of a higher alcohol volume beer. As such, it is also a favourite of university students, along with similar strength beers such as Speights and DB Draught. According to the date on cans and bottles of Lion Red, the beer was established in 1907. The name Lion Red was first adopted by the public to describe the red coloured label and can. Lion Breweries responded by changing the official name from Lion Beer to Lion Red in the mid 1980s.
