Lion Red is a lager-style beer brewed by Lion Breweries, part of the Lion Nathan group.
The name Lion Red was first adopted by the public to desribe the red coloured label and can. Lion Breweries responded by changing the official name from Lion Beer to Lion Red in the mid 1980s.
The beer was the favoured drink of Jake Heke in the New Zealand movie, Once Were Warriors set in south Auckland.
