Newslink: Fujizakura Heights Beer: Bending the rules of traditional German beer
Since the advent of Japanese beer brewing in the late 1800s, “traditional” beer meant German-style beer. Even after brewing regulations changed to allow microbrewing, it was only natural that most early companies hardly strayed from the familiar German trifecta of weizen, alt and pilsner. For Fujizakura Heights Beer the quality of their German-style brews has kept the company going strong, even as current trends in Japanese and global craft beer markets have shifted away from German beers.
