Chouseiya : Background
Chouseiya first came to our attention on Facebook when they popped up with a wide range of beers – some that are notoriously hard to get hold off. Chouseiya is also a bricks-and-mortar store in Chiba, though it’s a slight trek from the nearest station, so it’s a good idea to either drive there, or cycle.
As you approach Chouseiya, you might think it’s closed, or that noone is around. As you walk inside, the inside of Chouseiya feels like it’s been taking out of an apocalyptic movie. Sparse and barren inside, besides for a dozen or so fridges; humming away, full of delicious beer! There is so much choice here that you’ll often wonder how you can decide. One thing to note – the last time coming here, I was told it was cash only; though that may change. I simply ordered the beers online, paid for them to be picked up, and that was sorted..
In 2018, they opened up a basic online store that now stocks roughly the same beers as in-store, that is, if they have them in the fridges, they will have them online. The prices remain the same as well, with just the difference in postage being the main difference. Chouseiya are also pretty active on social media, links below, with the upcoming offerings and beers in stock, as well as beers on sale.
As mentioned, Chouseiya has a wide range of beers, both domestically and from overseas too. Domestic breweries we’ve seen include Anglo-Japanese Brewing Company, Shiga Kogen, Minoh Beer, Hansharo Beer, and Onidensetsu among others. There is also a sale section, whereby you can often find some bargains to choose from.
