Good Wolf Brewery in Higashiyoshino, Yoshino District, Nara, has posted about the recent weather in the mountain village on its official Instagram account. The brewery notes that some days are warm enough for a T-shirt, while others feel cold enough to call for a down jacket. Visitors planning a trip should therefore prepare for significant temperature changes.

The brewery uses clear water from the streams originating in the Daiko Mountains, along with ingredients connected to Higashiyoshino and the surrounding region. Its official website lists regular opening days as Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays, and public holidays, while also noting that temporary closures may occur when the brewery is attending outside events. Checking the latest schedule before traveling is recommended.

Its core lineup includes ROUROU, a pale ale featuring Yoshino cedar; Yuzu Beer, a Belgian white ale made with locally grown yuzu; Kuro Wolf, a stout incorporating roasted Yamato tea; and MIPA, an India pale ale combining tea and hop aromas. Each beer reflects the brewery’s focus on the water, plants, and agricultural products of the mountain region.

With the landscape and temperatures changing from day to day, autumn offers a fitting opportunity to experience Good Wolf’s local beers in their natural setting. Visitors should dress in layers, confirm the brewery’s opening status, and enjoy a pint alongside the scenery of Higashiyoshino.
