Great Japan Beer Festival

The Japan Craft Beer Association is hosting the 11th annual Great Beer Festival. What will you find there? Why, beer, and lots of it!

For Y4,800 (Y4,300 in advance) you can sample 1.7 ounce portions of 120 different micro brewed beers in the Garden Hall at Yebisu Garden Place. Beers are separated into 76 beer styles in 12 categories so you are bound to find one that you like! You might even get to taste the next big beer as all beers showcased at the Great Beer Festival are required to be on sale currently or within the next six months in Asia.

The event is Earth friendly too – your entry fee gets you a glass that you re-use for each tasting. Don’t forget to say “Kampai!” (cheers!) as you toss back all those great beers!
