Rather than writing up individual reviews for these beers, we’ve come up with a page of beers for our recent trip to Groundtap Brewery Taproom – which is a brewpub located in Saijo, Ehime. As these are draught beers, there is no guarantee that they will be on tap if and when you go there, so check out their latest beers on their Instagram.
