Cask ale available from hand pumps in Japan. We have some details already of the real ale scene in three cities and as soon as an imminent second visit to the country has taken place, we will let you have more details. In the interim, any updates, photographs and news would be most welcome.
Baird Brewing operates the small Taproom chain with a range of cask beers and bottle-conditioned beers. Beer Festivals take place, too, including the Toko Real Ale Festival in February each year and the Great Japan Beer Festival held in three centres (June in Tokyo, July in Osaka and September in Yokohama) Other web resources include a very good site at boozelist with details of lots of bars and an excellent one (bento) for browsing the Japanese beer scene an of course beerinJapan. Part of the research for this page benefitted from a few leads provided in an excellent book, Drinking Japan, by Chris Bunting (Tuttle Publishing, ISBN 978-4-8053-1054-0). It includes useful details including directions to some of the venues listed here. If you intend to spend some time in Japan, pick up a copy.
