Beer Details
We stock four types of regular beers as well as some limited seasonal beers.
CORE SERIES
PILS
This is an authentic German-style lager that uses the soft water of the northern foothills of Mt. Fuji, drawn at an altitude of 1000 meters, to balance out the refreshing bitterness and sharpness with the rich flavor of malt. Three kinds of hops are added four times as needed during the boiling process, bringing out a fresh, floral, and slightly spicy aroma.

WEIZEN
An ale made with over 50% wheat germ.
