Japan recently launched a blue beer called Okhotsk Blue (Ryuho Draft) from the Hokkaido Abashiri brewery. The brew is made using water melted from icebergs that float each year onto Hokkaido beaches from the chilly Sea of Okhotsk near Russia.

The same brewery makes other colored beers the Hamamsu Draft (red- contains anthocyans, natural pigments found in plants and fruit) and Shiretoko Draft (green -  made of seaweed, hops and a mixture of plants from Japan’s Siretoko peninsula).  This of course from the same brewery that mixed beer and milk together to form Bilk.
