Taihu Brewing has just released dark beer called "Taiwan Bear" that is brewed in the used white oak bourbon barrels from the Commonwealth of Kentucky in the U.S. The beer has won the International Beer Cup in Japan and World Beer Award in the UK.

Due to the complex brewing process, the dark beer can only be made and purchased once a year. This year, Taihu Brewing has launched the dark beer Taiwan Bear gift box that comes with a notebook and a Taiwan Bear pin.

Additionally, Taihu Brewing will release another related Limited Edition dark beer called "Coffee Taiwan Bear" that is brewed with coffee beans from Irgachefe, Ethiopia. The tastes of caramel and chocolate bring layers to the unique flavor.

The Taiwan Bear gift box can now be purchased in Taihu Brewing's stores in Taiwan. As for the Limited Edition Coffee Taiwan Bear, please visit the Taihu Brewing Facebook page.
