This website, part of Sapporo’s ‘Legendary Biru’ campaign, which was developed by Dentsu Canada, takes visitors on a mystical journey that reveals the brewing process. They are guided by the Sage, who is a seeming cross between Buddha and Pai Mei (the beard-stroking dude from Kill Bill Vol.2), learning about the beer along the way by acquiring scrolls, some of which are easier to acquire than others. Those astute enough to uncover all 15 are entered to win a trip to Japan.
