Masters Brewing introduces its Numazu station-front beer pub on Instagram
Masters Brewing has posted a shop introduction on Instagram. At its direct beer pub above the Numazu Ekimae brewery, visitors can pair house-made beer with seasonal snacks and guest beers. Hours are Monday through Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m.; closed on Sundays and public holidays.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Masters Brewing, and this time it’s not about one new beer, but their Instagram post introducing the brewery-run beer pub above the Numazu Station-front brewery.
MugiWait, a station-front beer pub? So you can get off the train and go straight to beer? That sounds dangerously convenient in the best way.
Hop BroThat’s the beauty of it. The place is a second-floor tap pub, and they serve their own house-brewed beers along with seasonal snacks and even guest beers brought in on tap from around Japan.
MugiWhat is that! Guest beer sounds like beer having a sleepover. Is it just hanging out in the cooler saying, 'Nice to meet you'?
Hop BroThat would be a lively cooler. Basically, outside keg beers means beers shipped in from other regions, so you can compare their own brews with guest taps in the same place.
MugiOh wow! So this is absolutely not a one-glass stop. And the article says they also have seasonal food pairings, right? My appetite is already clocking in for work.
Hop BroThe food side is strong too. They can serve Suruga Bay seafood from a sister shop, and on some days you might also find local vegetables or even Izu venison.
MugiWhoa, that’s a serious pairing rabbit hole. So basically the food is so good with the beer that one extra order turns into three?
Hop BroExactly. And Masters Brewing also brews with Mt. Fuji spring water, while clearly pushing the idea of Numazu as a craft beer city. The pub is open Monday to Saturday from 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., and closed on Sundays and holidays.
MugiThat settles it. This post doesn’t name a specific beer or style, but that almost makes it more fun, because now I want to go to Numazu Station and start a long, delicious night there.
Masters Brewing is a craft brewery based in Numazu, Shizuoka. On its official site, representative and head brewer Naohide Masutani says he grew up in Numazu, later worked as a fisherman and ran an izakaya attached to a fish shop, before shifting from beer drinker to brewer.
The brewery places strong emphasis on using Mt. Fuji spring water and on helping Numazu grow as a craft-beer destination. According to the brewery, it is the fifth brewery in the city, operating alongside other local breweries and taprooms that already give the area a clear beer identity.
The Instagram post in question is a shop-introduction feature labeled “店舗紹介🍽️,” pointing readers to the direct pub on the second floor. The official website says the pub serves food and seasonal snacks designed to match Masters Brewing beer, along with guest beers shipped in kegs from other parts of Japan. The menu can also include seafood from sister shops, reflecting Suruga Bay’s catch, and on some days local vegetables or Izu deer game.
Business hours are Monday through Saturday, 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., with Sundays and public holidays closed. For beer fans, it is a place where brewing and drinking are closely connected, and where a pint can naturally lead into a meal.
