Anyone looking to buy international beer online will quickly find a wide range of brands, countries of origin and pack sizes. However, Asian beers, Mexican classics and European lagers differ in more than just their labels and brand names. Alcohol content, pack size, ingredients, the origin of the specific item and the contents of the delivery all determine whether an offer is right for your occasion.
A beer may carry a brand from Japan, China or the Netherlands, yet be brewed or bottled in another country for the European market. When buying imported beer, it is therefore important to distinguish between the brand’s origin, the country of origin of the specific product and the party responsible for distribution.
Example: According to the product information, the Sapporo Beer De 330 ml on offer is brewed in the Netherlands. Nevertheless, the brand represents Japanese brewing tradition. If you are specifically looking for a product made in Japan, check the information on the product page and packaging.
Individual 330 ml beer cans are practical for a small tasting. For a party, however, the price per can of a 24-pack of beer may be more relevant than the individual price. In addition, 24 cans or bottles require sufficient storage space and should not be left warm or in direct sunlight for unnecessarily long periods.
Terms such as “fresh”, “crisp” or “full-bodied” are subjective. Information about alcohol content, ingredients, pack size, net quantity and storage is more meaningful. Even a product described as a “premium lager” may taste different from what you expect if, for example, maize, rice or sugar syrup has been used.
In Germany, alcohol content is usually stated as % vol. The selection includes, for example, 4.5 % for Cass Fresh Beer and Corona Extra, 4.7 % for Tsingtao and Sapporo, and 5.0 % for Heineken and Singha. San Miguel Especial is listed at 5.4 % vol., while Asahi Super Dry has an alcohol content of 5.2 % vol.
If you have allergies or intolerances, the ingredients list is essential. Several lagers contain barley malt and therefore gluten. Tsingtao, Cass, Heineken, Kirin Ichiban and Asahi Super Dry explicitly list grain or barley. The information on the packaging delivered takes precedence, as recipes and labelling may vary from one market to another.
330 ml is a common format for international beers. A 24-pack containing 24 × 330 ml has a total volume of 7.92 litres. This applies, for example, to Heineken Premium Lager Beer, Corona Extra and San Miguel Especial in the respective multipacks.
Before placing your order, check whether the offer contains a single can, a multipack or a carton with 24 units. Kirin Ichiban is offered as a carton of 24, while OBI Cass Beer 330 ml is described as a single unit in the product information. This helps prevent incorrect orders for parties, tastings or your personal stock.
Lager beer should be stored in accordance with the product information in a cool, dry place, protected from direct sunlight. Once opened, it should be consumed immediately. The best-before date is shown on the packaging.
For larger orders, it is also worth checking the total weight. A 24-pack of cans is considerably heavier than a single serving. For events, plan delivery in good time; for a spontaneous tasting, a single 330 ml unit may be the more suitable choice.

Depending on your preferred country of origin and flavour profile, further options may be worth considering:
If you want to compare Heineken, Sapporo, Kirin Ichiban, Asahi Super Dry, Corona Extra or Singha beer, always check the specific pack size and the country of origin of the item on offer. The same applies when you order beer online: the information on each individual product page is what counts.
We have put together a complete, regularly updated list of products that fully meet these strict selection criteria and the safety regulations applicable in the EU.
For a party, 24-packs of 330 ml cans or bottles are practical because the total quantity is easy to calculate. Examples include Heineken, Tsingtao, Corona Extra, Kirin Ichiban, Sapporo and San Miguel Especial. Before buying, consider your cooling facilities, delivery weight and preferred alcohol content.
The specific best-before date is shown on the packaging. Until then, beer should be stored in a cool, dry place protected from direct sunlight. Excessive heat and prolonged storage can affect its sensory properties. Once opened, a can should be consumed immediately.
Alcoholic products may only be sold in compliance with the applicable youth protection and age-verification regulations. This selection is intended for adult beer lovers aged 18 and over.
