Kirin Beer Settlement over False Advertising

All those who have purchased Kirin beer between October 25, 2009 and December 17, 2014 can visit www.KirinBeerSettlement.com to receive cash payment of up to $50 from a class action settlement.
Kirin Beer Settlement

Anheuser-Busch has reached a class action lawsuit settlement over allegations that they mislead Kirin customers by showing the beer was brewed in Japan, when actually it was domestically brewed within the United States. Plaintiffs, Lady Suarez and Gustavo Oliva, have alleged in the lawsuit that the company charged a premium price for domestically brewed beer by showing phrases like “Imported” and “Japan’s Prime Brew” on their packages. Although the company has denied any wrong-doing, they have agreed to settle the lawsuit to avoid the cost and risk of ongoing litigation. So, if you've purchased Kirin beer from 25 October 2009 through 17 December 2014, you may be eligible for cash payments from this class action settlement.
Potential Award
Those who provide receipts showing the Kirin beer purchase and the date of purchase can get up to $50 in reimbursement. And those who don’t have proof of purchase can get up to $12.

Following benefits are provided to the Settlement Class Members:
  • $0.50 for each 6 pack of 12 oz. bottles or cans
  • $1.00 for each 12 pack of 12 oz. bottles or cans
  • $0.10 for each individual bottle or can
All eligible Class Members of the Settlement are required to register a claim before the deadline in order to receive these benefits. Claims can be filed online through official website of the Settlement.
