Uchu Brewing is a Japanese craft beer brewery located in Hokuto city, in Yamanashi, Japan. Uchu Brewing started brewing in March 2018 with the first beers being released in May of the same year. Unlike many other breweries in Japan, Uchu Brewing actually started out by growing their own hops as to use in their own beer; however, they soon learnt afterwards that area of Hokuto city was originally used for growing hops in the past. Uchu Brewing also prides itself on being sustainable from hops right through to bottling and packaging of their beers, which also includes the filtering and recycling of waste water used in the beer making process.
