Hakuba Brewing Company

Zero Carbon

We brew with zero-carbon energy, to protect the Hakuba nature we love.

Hakuba glaciers and snowmelt

Glacier ice and snow melt in the Hakuba mountains and trickle through forest and stone to become our brewing water.

Unfiltered and all natural

We never filter, so every aroma and flavour from the yeast stays in the beer.

Our mission

The most exciting beer in Japan, brewed at the foot of these mountains.

We scientifically craft all-natural, fully flavoured ales — just like the ones we love to drink.

We brew with snowmelt from Hakuba Village, pairing traditional British methods with modern hops. Being small, we are part of every step, and free to choose the rarer hops and malts that big breweries pass over.

  • Inspired by the nature of Hakuba

    It starts as snow in the high Alps above Hakuba Village, then melts and trickles through forest and stone down to our water source.

  • Beer from the mountains

    We slow-ferment until each brew is just right, then package it fresh at our brewery in Hakuba Village.

  • All natural and unfiltered

    We never filter, so every aroma and flavour from the yeast stays in the beer.
