Welcome to Homebrew Japan

In many English-speaking countries homebrewing of beer is well-established, and it is easy to get ingredients and equipment. Japan does not have such a tradition, and these specialized things are not as readily available.

The goal of this blog is to provide information about homebrewing within Japan, although I'm slightly biased towards Tokyo where I live. This blog is organized by topics rather than dates. Please make comments and I will incorporated these into the entries.

There is a great wealth of information about homebrewing generally, and if you are getting started, I recommend "The Complete Joy of Homebrewing" by Charlie Papazian. My goal here is to give information and tips peculiar to brewing in Japan.

The following blog entry inspired Homebrew Japan:
