Iwate Kura Brewery



(get google to translate that for ya)


Here is a rough cut piece on an adventure through the brewery where, as though it was almost over looked, the tasting comes around at the end featuring tongue twisting lovelies like  persimmon lambic and 14% abv 2010 vintage barley wine in a boxed bottle. 

One of my favorite (an only continually subscribed to) beer bloggers in Japan had a more in depth plunge through the brewing bliss of Ichinoseki.
