Like a night out in Shibuya — bright, crisp, and over far too soon — I’m the 4 Pines Japanese Style Lager, a modern take on the dry rice lagers of Japan, brewed for those who appreciate subtlety done well.
Made with a blend of Pilsner malt and flaked rice, I’m ultra-light in body, pale in colour, and clean as a freshly steamed glass. One sip and you're transported: neon lights above, sizzling yakitori nearby, the hum of an izakaya in full swing.
My flavour is all about quiet precision. A soft floral aroma and gentle herbal spice from noble hops add just enough character without stepping out of line. There’s a whisper of sweetness, a dry, snappy finish, and a refreshing clarity that lingers like the last train home. I’m clean, composed, and brewed for balance — no flash, no fuss, just harmony in every can.

4 Pines, like many other successful breweries, has a wholesome origin story featuring passionate beer-lovers. It all started from a casual post-surf chat between a father-son pair who simply wanted to drink super yummy beers but did not have many options back then. The two then took matters into their own hands and in 2008, 4 Pines was born. Today, 4 Pines is Australia's leading, award-winning, and globally celebrated beer company.
4 Pines have planted more than 44,444 trees as a part of the '1% for the Planet' initiative to support biodiversity and sustainability for Australia's wildlife.
