Japan: The Asian hub for microbrews
International Herald Tribune – Sep 25, 2007
Major cities offer a fair selection of British and Belgian ales and German Pilseners but outside of the occasional brewpub such as Brewerkz in Singapore there is little in the way of fresh flavorful beers. And once you head outside of those major cities your choices often become limited to a Heineken Tiger or the local Pilsener. But there's hope brewing in Japan. Thirteen years after it legalized microbreweries the country has produced craft brewers who can hold their own with the best that the United States and Europe have to offer… Thirteen years after it legalized microbreweries the country has produced craft brewers who can hold their own with the best that the United States and Europe have to offer. Their pale ales are as refreshingly hoppy as Sierra Nevada the benchmark in the United States; their whits are as fruity and fresh as Belgium's Hoegaarden; and their barley wines match up with England's Thomas Hardy's Ale in their ability to mellow and mature over the years into a syrupy portlike digestif. That doesn't mean Japan's beers are clones of those from other countries. At first their craft beers remind you of American microbrews in their wide array of styles and with the fresh bold taste that's missing from bottled European beers. But try a few more and you'll notice more subtlety in the flavors; while a beer may smell citrusy and hoppy the bitter hops flavor fades after the first sip and the sweet malt flavors step forward. You notice multiple flavors of caramel fruit ginger and other spices all playing off each other. Subtlety is the hallmark of the better Japanese microbrews whereas most American craft beers embrace an onslaught of flavor with all the nuance of a sledgehammer.
