MugiWait, you can drink Niseko beer in Sapporo? That's incredibly convenient!
Hop BroExactly, and the shop website lists six rotating taps a day, three of which are Yotei Brewing beers.
MugiThree varieties, and they're all different? The names alone sound intense!
Hop BroIn the current lineup, `FRCTN` is a hazy DIPA, `UPLFT` is an NZ-style IPA, and `West Coast Lager` is a crisp, easy-drinking lager.
MugiA hazy DIPA? What is that, some kind of spell? You mean it's super hoppy?
Hop BroPretty much. It's a style that tends to be cloudy and juicy, and a DIPA has a stronger alcohol feel and body, so you can really enjoy the hop aroma.
MugiI see. So what kind of beer is `UPLFT`? Since it's NZ, I guess New Zealand hops are playing a big role?
Hop BroThat's the good part. NZ-style IPA tends to bring out white-grape-like notes and tropical character. It's not overly flashy, but the aroma really stands out.
MugiThen `West Coast Lager` must be the kind you can drink smoothly? It sounds really good with food!
Hop BroExactly. Brian Brew is easy to visit for daytime drinking, and being strong for food pairings is part of its appeal. It's easy to use as a pre-drink stop or for one more beer.
MugiWow, this is tough to choose! I want to start with a mini-glass tasting flight and then order another pour of the one I like!
Hop BroAll right, let's go after Yotei Brewing draft beer in Sapporo today. A beer brewed with honesty makes you want to go drink it right away, doesn't it?
A Yotei Brewing pour in Sapporo
Yotei Brewing is a family-run brewery based in Niseko. While improving the foundations of its brewing, such as revising equipment and locking in annual hop contracts, it has focused on beer quality rather than flashy storytelling. An article published in January 2026 also showed that it remains committed to brewing honestly and steadily, without changing that stance.
