Background
Teenage Brewing is a brewery located in Tokigawa, in Saitama, Japan. The brewery opened in June 2023 and is a subsidary of a company called Kilk Company Limited. The founder, Daichi Mori, grew up in the area and choose the place due to the River Toki that runs through the area. The water is well known and is used to make the beers. Mori-san, owner of Kilk Company, began his career in the music industry over 30 years ago. This influence is seen throughout the beers as they come recommended with either a song or album to listen to as you drink.
In 2021, he apprenticed at Beer Brain Brewery in Kashiwa, Chiba Prefecture. Teenage Brewing opened with an 820 litre brewing tank and six fermenters around two years later. With their beers proving popular, the brewery added three 1,800-liter fermenters in July 2024. Alongside Mori-san, head brewer Kisetsu Oikawa, Czech brewer Vit Karusek, and Masahito Takeuchi have all helped to grow the brewery.
