Hop BroThis time in Hakuba, Anglo Japanese Brewing is going to exhibit at "Craft Beer Marche in Hakuba." On June 6 and 7, 2026, AJB beers should taste especially good in the mountain air.
MugiReally! We can drink in Hakuba!? Hearing that admission is free makes me want to just drop by, but how do you buy the beer?
Hop BroThat's part of the event setup: beer is ticket-based. The venue is Wahara Grand in the Iida district of Hakuba Goryu, and the schedule is June 6 from 12:00 to 21:00, and June 7 from 10:00 to 16:00.
MugiTicket-based, huh, got it! But AJB sounds strong just from the name... What kind of brewery is it?
Hop BroIt's a brewery based in Nozawaonsen Village, Nagano Prefecture, and it started in 2014. Using Nozawaonsen's spring water and combining it with ingredients from around the world, they've pushed in all kinds of directions, which is what makes them interesting.
MugiOhhh! So it's not just the classics, they do some twists too! So it's not only IPAs?
Hop BroExactly, they cover everything from IPAs to sours, plus barrel-aged styles. They also renovated a former nursery school to expand their facilities in 2017, and installed an oak foeder in 2019, so AJB isn't just a "hop-heavy brewery". That's what makes them interesting.
MugiFoeder...? What's that! It sounds like a bathtub! What does an oak foeder do?
Hop BroGood catch. A foeder is a large wooden cask, and it's equipment used to expand the expression of barrel aging. It brings out oak aromas and helps integrate acidity, adding depth to the beer.
MugiI see... the combination of Nozawaonsen water and wooden barrels feels really thoughtful. Just imagining a pint at a mountain venue makes it sound delicious.
Hop BroIf you can drink AJB in the air of Hakuba, that's reason enough to go. This is the kind of pour you want to check out at the event. Both of us will want to go drink it.
