Kiuchi Brewery (木内酒造) is a brewery in Naka, Ibaraki Prefecture, Japan. It was established in 1823 by village headman Kiuchi Gihei as a sake and shochu producer.{{cite web|url= https://www.yomiuri.co.jp/life/food-column/20210303-SYT8T3721394/|title=進化する造り酒屋~フクロウのビールもウイスキーも鍵は「日本」(下)(in Japanese)|access-date=March 30, 2023|website=yomiuri.co.jp, March 3, 2021|date=3 March 2021 }}
Craft beer production began in 1996 after a change in Japanese law governing micro brewing. A number of Kiuchi's products seek to combine European beer-making technology with traditional Japanese brewing techniques; for example, its XH Hitachino Nest Beer is matured in shochu casks.
