Hop BroToday’s topic is Far Yeast Brewing’s Genryu Brewery tour on Friday, March 20! It’s an event in Kosuge, Yamanashi where you can experience the place where beer is born.
MugiWait, so it’s not just a brewery visit, it’s hands-on too?!
Hop BroIt’s pretty packed. Meet at Roadside Station Kosuge at 10:00, tour the brewery, then lunch and all-you-can-drink at 12:30, and wrap up at 14:00. The fee is 7,700 yen, the local discount is 5,500 yen, and it includes a T-shirt!
MugiWhat? It even comes with a T-shirt! That’s too good. Is it friendly for people who don’t drink?
Hop BroAbsolutely. Non-drinking participants are also told they can take home canned beer as a souvenir. On top of that, there’s a perk of 77 points added to the Kosuge Villager Point Card.
MugiHmm... but what you said about “terroir” sounds kind of fancy and wine-like, so it’s hard to get!
Hop BroTerroir means the “character of a place.” Genryu Brewery is defined by the Tama River headwaters’ water system and climate, and the idea is that this environment influences the beer’s character.
MugiI see! So it’s about tasting the place itself, not just the liquid!
Hop BroExactly. Far Yeast Brewing promotes "Democratizing Beer" and takes on a diverse range of styles, like the Far Yeast Tokyo series. This tour is a chance to experience that philosophy firsthand.
MugiJust thinking about it is making my throat dry! I want to drink craft beer in the fresh air of the source region on March 20 so badly~!

The venue is in the Kosuge area, where the company’s Genryu Brewery is located, and the post describes the event as a chance to visit "the place where Far Yeast Brewing’s beer is born."
The schedule announced for the day is as follows:

The Genryu Brewery is described on the official website as a brewing base located in Kosuge Village, Yamanashi Prefecture. It operates in an environment that, while adjacent to Tokyo, has a climate similar to microbrewery regions in Northern Europe. Located about two hours from central Tokyo and close to the source of the Tama River, the brewery works on a wide range of styles, including the Far Yeast Tokyo series.
The company is also a brewery that promotes "Democratizing Beer" as its guiding principle. This brewery tour is likely to draw attention as an opportunity to experience not only beer as a liquid, but also the local climate, water system, and connections with the local community.
