What! A forklift company is brewing beer!?

Exactly, it’s a real case of an industry outsider entering the field. A company that used to handle forklift maintenance is taking on craft beer. In Yamanashi’s recent brewery scene, this kind of story isn’t all that rare, but it still makes an impact.

But forklifts and beer are totally different fields, right? Can they really make proper beer?

On tap, they offer a wide range of styles: pale ale, IPA, lager, weizen, and golden ale. The fact that they cover the standard styles thoroughly makes it feel like they learned the basics properly before starting.

Oh, wow! They even have a weizen. What’s the place like?

It’s a beer bar in the Isawa Onsen area, with a small layout centered around counter seating. It seems like a place where you can drop in alone without feeling out of place. There’s also parking, so you can go by car.

So in Isawa Onsen, you can drink beer after soaking in the hot springs? That’s amazing!

Exactly. Fuefuki City is also a major peach and grape producing area, so personally I’d be excited if they started making fruit beers in the future.

Peach beer sounds like it would be delicious! I’d love to stop by on a hot spring trip!
