Nomcraft Brewing is a Japanese microbrewery located in Aridagawa, in Wakayama, Japan. The brewery is run by three people: Ben Emrich from Portland, Adam Baran from Chicago, and Takumi Kaneko, a PR manager from Aichi. Due to a local event in Osaka, Adam became interested in Aridagawa because of the Portland Fair being held in Hanshin Department Store, Osaka. It gave them a point of contacti with Aridagawa Town, and Ben contacted the staff of the town development group of Arita River and gave a presentation on the brewery. Nomcraft Brewing is located in an old nursery school in Aridagawa that has been renovated and is being used as a complex facility , besides the brewery. Nomcraft Brewing started brewing in May 2019.
