Michinoku Fukushima Beer Information

Background

Michinoku Fukushima Beer is a craft beer brewery located in Fukushima prefecture, Japan. The brewery was founded in November 2003, and is very much a family operation with the president, Shinji-san the head, and his sons being two of the brewers. Michinoku Fukushima Beer was one of the first craft beer breweries to focus on German style recipes after a trip around Europe in 1997 convince Shinji-san to focus on the area. Some of the beers also focus on using local ingredients from the area, such as peaches, pears, and apples.
