In a world a world that's full of change, it's good to know that Lucky Beer offers something consistently good natured. Although the distinctive laughing Buddha bottle is central to our brand, Lucky Beer - and the good fortune it shares - transcends all religions, cultural boundaries and beliefs.
In its simplest form, we stand for goodwill for all humanity.
"If you think that enlightenment is separate from the drinking of beer you have not yet understood" Ancient Taoist Saying.
The "Laughing Buddha" depicted on Lucky Buddha beer is actually not THE Buddha and therefore not religious but cultural. He is incorporated in Buddhist, Taoist and Shinto traditions. The term buddha means "one who is awake", connoting one who has awakened into enlightenment.

It's not going to win any prizes for quality, but also not the worst macro lager out there! The novelty bottle is fun, but also a bit wrong (don't think Buddha would be happy, even though he always is apparently). As for what it's like, well it's pale gold with a small bubbly white head, pretty much no aroma apart for a weak, grassy & herbal nose. Thin bodied, bubbly, a little bit grassy and floral, some sweetness and actually went well with my Katsu Chicken.

Clear golden color and a small, quick dissapearing head. Simple. Lots of sweet malt and faint hops.

Historical tick. Have resisted doing it but want to see how they impact my stats. Gift from mother, it was on sale somewhere. Weak stuff. At least the bottle's fun/an abhorrent example of cultural appropriation.

Bottle at anti-carnavalstasting 2020. Clear pale golden color, no head. Smell and taste malts, light cardboard, nicely bitter. Quite ok actually.
