Brews News

Brews News is a monthly Internet newsletter about beer in Japan that appears on the popular Tokyo Food Page. Brews News is the labor of love of long-term Tokyo resident, writer, translator, beer & sake expert, and Tokyo correspondent for the Celebrator beer magazine, Bryan Harrell. Six years and 74 issues strong, the newsletter has long been about the only source of English information about craft beer in Japan. It has been responsible for promoting and educating foreigners in Japan about Japanese craft beer and keeping us informed of upcoming events through Bryan's many contacts with the craft brewing and retailing industries.

The existence of BEERS, and now perhaps this blog, has added to the sources of information about craft beer in Japan. But in no way do these alternative sources compete; I intend that this blog will be complemetary to Brews News, and in fact hope that Bryan and others will join as guest or regular co-bloggers from time to time. This blog is more a personal view of the Japanese craft beer world and my/our interactions with it. Do check out Brews News and find the link to subscribe to the email list so that you may receive new issues directly to your inbox prior to them hitting the web page.
