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.

Bottled 330ml. -from Bier Imperium, Vienna. Interesting looking bottle but everything else should be soon forgotten. Yellow coloured, medium sized white head, stale rice in the nose. Water, light cardboard and stale rice without any trace of hops. Crap.

[330ml bottle, gift from my wife] My wife bought this for me because the bottle amused her - to me it looked less like a buddha & more like a mutant bogey! Neither she nor I expected much of the beer inside. It poured pale gold, with a thin white head, and thin prickly carbonation. It’s very, very watery indeed, yet manages to retain a reasonable floral and grass aroma and flavour, with slight citrus hints. It’s quite refreshing actually - I’ve had far worse lagers, and it’s better than the bottle suggests.

Bottled (BZ; BB 12/2010)
Pale yellow color, decent white head. Cardboardish aroma with notes of wet hops or grass. Fizzy carbonation. Harsh and a bit malty. Light bitterness. Watery. Suprisingly closer to Western bulk lager than Chinese/Asian corn/maize stuff. The best part of this is its pretty bottle.

Pale orange, an inch of dense white head. High bead. Aroma of light honey, orange blossoms and grass. Watery body. Gentle sweetness with no bitterness but a slightly drying finish. Has that rice note you get with Asian lagers. This is pretty fresh and much better than I imagined - what malt there is is fairly clean; the hop aroma has no trace of skunk; it’s not very sweet; and it’s not dominated by rice (or corn).
