UPDATE: On April 30, 2020, viewers started reporting that they received Asahi Beer settlement payments for as much as $10!


A class action settlement has been reached that resolves allegations that Asahi Beer is deceptively marketed as being made in Japan, when in reality the beer is brewed in Canada.

If you purchased Asahi Beer brewed outside of Japan for personal use between April 5, 2013 and December 20, 2018, you could get up to $10 from this class action settlement, without proof of purchase.

The class action lawsuit filed by plaintiffs Matin Shalikar and Alexander Panvini challenged Asahi Beer’s packaging, specifically when it came to using Japanese words and characters on the label.

To settle the class action lawsuit, Asahi Beer has agree to pay consumers up to $10 per household depending on which versions of the beer was purchased. Payout amounts include: 10¢ per big bottle of Asahi Beer; 50¢ per six-pack of Asahi Beer bottles or cans; $1 per 12- pack of Asahi Beer cans; and $2 per 24-pack of Asahi Beer cans.

Class Members who want to object to the Asahi Beer settlement must do so in writing by July 16, 2019. Those who wish to be excluded from the Asahi Beer class action settlement terms have until June 25, 2019.

Who’s Eligible

Class Members include consumers across the United States (including territories and U.S. military facilities) who bought Asahi Beer for personal use between April 5, 2013 and December 20, 2018.

In addition, California residents who purchased Asahi Beer for household use during the same timeframe are also included as California Settlement Class Members.

“Asahi Beer means all bottles and/or cans of Asahi brand Beer brewed outside Japan and sold in the United States, including Asahi Super Dry and Asahi Select beers,” the Asahi Beer class action settlement states.

Potential Award

Up to $10.

Asahi Beer drinkers are able to receive a maximum of $10 from this class action settlement. The payout amounts include: 10¢ per big bottle of Asahi Beer; 50¢ per six-pack of Asahi Beer bottles or cans; $1 per 12-pack of Asahi Beer cans; and $2 per 24-pack of Asahi Beer cans.
