A quick post on another brewery. It’s not in the most convenient location if you’re traveling by train from Tokyo, unless you’re keen on going via Narita Airport or Mito and really like spending time on your journey. There is a bus from Tokyo station which is much more convenient, but still runs close to…

Hitachino Brewing Mito
Today, another place visited whilst on a football away trip. I’ve been here a couple of times before when it was known as True Brew. The concept has changed a little since those visits. It was a great place to stop off on the way to, or on the way back from the Hitachino Nest…

Niigata intermission part 1: Beer Trip Olive
Another Pint is now called EST and isn’t linked to Olive anymore. It’s on the Niigata round up post along with lots of other places that you can find here. Niigata round up (Not sure why but it wouldn’t let me link to it more elegantly. Sorry) Also, it’s best to check Olive is open…
Blue Magic – Utsunomiya
Today, another journey out of Tokyo, this time to Utsunomiya in Tochigi. On my previous visit to Utsunomiya, I visited the Tochigi microbrewery, home to some interesting and varied beers. However, now Utsunomiya is no longer a one bar city. Blue Magic opened late last year (I think) and is the home of the soon…
