Hokkaido Brewing, also known as Hokkaido Bakushu Jozo, is a craft beer brewery located in Otaru city, Hokkaido, the northernmost island of Japan. It was founded in February 2002 after the local city realised that with over 3 million visitors annually to the area, they didn’t have a local brewery to produce beers. The aim of Hokkaido Brewing in the beginning was to use as much locally sourced produce as possible, as well as using organic products, where possible. Hokkaido Brewing produces a wide range of beers under both the Hokkaido Brewing label and also the Otaru Bakushu label as well.
