Asahi Super Dry

Asahi Super Dry is a premium, award-winning Japanese lager brewed with jasmine rice to incorporate a unique, lightly crisp flavor and body. Asahi super dry is made with both rice and malted barley grains. This combination results in a slightly higher level of carbonation and a taste that is initially lightly sweet but then finishes clean and dry. It’s a light-bodied, delicious, and highly drinkable Japanese rice lager that may have revolutionized the beer industry with its advanced brewing techniques and unique ingredients. The subtle sweetness of the malted barley, the lightly bitter flavor of the hops, and the clean, dry flavor of jasmine rice make this beer so well-rounded and delicious.

Although Asahi Super Dry beer is uniquely brewed with jasmine rice to achieve its distinctive clean and dry finish, it is not gluten-free as it contains malted barley. Most beers (this one included) are brewed with a combination of gluten-containing grains because these grains contain the necessary sugar for the fermentation process. 

Because of its unique ingredients list and masterful brewing techniques, the brew masters at Asahi have managed to make a full-flavored, light-bodied premium beer that is lower in carbs than most lagers of a similar style. Those at Asahi Brewing report that Asahi Super Dry lager contains approximately 5% alcohol by volume and that the beer contains 2.8 grams of carbohydrates per 100 milliliters. For those of us state-side who need things converted into ounces, that would translate roughly into 9-10 grams of carbohydrates per beer, which is significantly lower than the average 15 or so grams of carbs found in most lagers.

Asahi has a lovely “super dry” (crisp and clean) flavor and finish, making it an ideal beer to pair with almost any food in most situations. An excellent choice for a dinner party, for pairing with finger foods, or just to sip on its own — Asahi Super Dry is an excellent choice for a host gift when attending a gathering of friends or family or as a “just because” gift for your favorite beer-lover.
