A brewery rooted in Suwa

Uchoten Brewery operates in Suwa, Nagano, with a brewery and taproom located within walking distance of Kamisuwa Station. Opened in April 2024, the brewery is well positioned for visitors looking to combine a beer stop with a walk through the city.

Its beers include The Duke, a classic English IPA built around British malts and hops, and Wind Parade, a saison designed to balance saison yeast character with hop aroma. The range shows an interest in expressing the character of different beer styles, from malt structure and bitterness to fermentation-derived aromatics.

After a film and a stroll through the city, tasting beer brewed in Suwa could make for a fitting way to experience the area. The details of Uchoten Brewery’s upcoming appearance remain to be announced, making the future event information—and the beer list in particular—worth watching.
