Brewing 100

Brewing 100 is a brewery that the Maeda three brothers launched in Ashikita Town in 2024. It is run by the three of them, centered around owner Kazunobu Maeda, along with Kazunori and Kazukaku.

Ashikita is a mountainous town rich in nature, nestled between the Shiranui Sea and the Kuma River. The concept is to share the charm of the local area through beer. A defining feature is that they make heavy use of ingredients special to Ashikita as adjuncts.

Things like Japanese black tea, salt from Oritsuhama, and multifloral honey. Their session IPA called Hyakka Ryoran combines Ashikita-grown Japanese black tea and multifloral honey, and they release seasonal variations too.

They also have Salvage Lemon, a pale ale at 4.5% ABV, Dogu Saison, a saison, and Brauner Hefe, a weizen. There's even a beer called The Traveler Heading to the Unra Forest, so the naming sense is pretty distinctive.

The first floor is a bar where you can drink freshly brewed beer, and the second floor has simple lodging facilities too. It's a small-town brewery, but being able to drink and then stay the night is a great touch.
