They have 10 types of regular beers. “Yokohama Lager", with its exquisite hop-derived citrus aroma and robust bitterness, and "Seya's Wheat", made with wheat grown in Seya, Yokohama, are the most popular.
In December 2021, the company also started producing canned beer to "bring Yokohama Beer to even more people”. “The best thing about craft beer is all the different variety of flavors you can enjoy", says General Manager Mr. Yokouchi.

Brewers also continue to take on new challenges every day. The “Brewers Beer Series” is a popular series of beers that young brewers are let to experiment. with
The beers, as well as the illustrations on their labels, are all produced by young brewers. Truly “one of a kind” products.

The brewery, with its large barrels lined up, can also be seen from the seating area. The most attractive feature of the brewery and restaurant is that you can enjoy freshly brewed beer from the barrels standing right in front of you. “Beer tastes best the moment it comes out of the barrels," says Mr. Saito.

At the restaurant, they serve burgers made with 100% beef patties, fried chicken with an original batter, and a variety of dishes made with carefully selected salmon and oysters from around the world.
The restaurant's unique charm lies in the fact that the beer and the food is made to go well together.

They boast a total of 8 kinds of beer. Through repeated trial and error, they are constantly trying to create new beers that are not bound by trends.
At first, they had only one type of beer available for takeout, but now they offer five to six types. “In the future, I would like to make high-alcohol beers," Mr. Gojo says.

Their signature beer is “Hakuraku IPA”.
It uses a lot of hops and has a fruity flavor with a strong bitterness, while offering scents of passion fruit, orange, and guava. “Sheep & Sheep”, a light beer with a scent of grapefruit and lemon, is another popular beer at 254BeeR.

The restaurant menu also offers a wide variety of dishes.
Especially the "Five Kinds of Horse Sashimi" is quite popular. Since the opening of the restaurant's sister restaurant, which specializes in Japanese sake and horse meat, 254BeeR & Restaurant has been offering this delicacy since its opening. Many customers come to enjoy the "unique matching" of beer and horse sashimi.

Mr. Gojo explains the process of making beer as, "a series of simple tasks”. “There is no fancy work, but that is what leads to delicious beer”.
He also shows his craftsman side, saying, "Naturally, though, we are committed in making the kind of beer we want to drink by carefully dotting the i’s and crossing the t’s”.

Their signature beer, "Bay Pilsner," is a one of a kind made with the highest-grade Saaz hops from the Czech Republic, home of this beer. It is a rare style of beer that "not many people in Japan have tried”. It is a fusion of American and Czech brewing methods, which is said to be extremely time-consuming and labor-intensive. The beer produced this way is characterized by its distinctive caramel flavor.

Their Totsuka factory, where Yokohama Bay Brewing craft beer is produced, has just installed new tanks. Here, beer bottles are sold directly to customers only when staff is present at the factory.

Yokohama Bay Brewing Kannai main store, their own managed beer pub, is only a 4-minute walk from JR Kannai Station. With its chic and stylish storefront, here you can enjoy the atmosphere of the port city of Yokohama while sipping draft beer. On Saturdays and Sundays, the bar opens at 1:00 in the afternoon!

Mr. Shinya Suzuki, representative of Yokohama Bay Brewing, has been to the Czech Republic and the U.S. many times for training to create more particular beers. “We always offer about 10 kinds of craft beers at our directly managed stores, so we hope customers can compare between them and find their favorite one," he said.

One of their most popular beers is the British beer called "B.B.B. (British Best Bitter)" (left photo). George says, "I made this beer because it was not yet widely available in Japan when I first came”. It is made with malt and hops from England and easy to drink, thanks to its rich flavor and low alcohol content.
“IPA" and "Pale Ale" are also popular beers at TDM 1874 Brewery. The recipe for the "IPA" is still being arranged little by little, as the brewery is always looking for new and interesting hop aromas. There are currently 20 different recipes, and through the QR code on the beer cans you can check the recipe of the beer you’re drinking.

TDM 1874 Brewery also works with local farmers to develop beers using locally grown produce. Some of their popular beers include "Hamanashi Gose," made with the Yokohama brand pear "Hamanashi”.
In addition, "Agri x Beer," a collaboration beer with Sato Farm, a farm with over 100 years of history in the same Tokaichiba area, is also available as a gift to taxpayers as part of the "Furusato Nozei (hometown tax donation program)".

The BREW PUB is attached to the TDM 1874 Brewery store, and here you can enjoy draft beer from tap available nowhere else as well as special meals.
We recommend the Nashville Chicken, originally developed with the idea of "giving customers the impressive taste when trying it abroad”. The unusual hamburger, which uses beer-braised meat, is also a must-try. In addition to a variety of alcoholic beverages, local vegetables are also available for purchase.

The links between beer and food with the local community go beyond mere local production for local consumption.
Beer lees from the beer production process are upcycled at Sato Farm as compost for lemon groves, and the lemons produced using the compost are used to make beer again. Such a cycle has been created. TDM 1874 Brewery is a brewery that is committed to more than just taste.

Mr. Shoichi Arai, the brewery head and manager, used to work in the manufacturing industry.
A classmate from high school who owned a yakitori restaurant asked him to join him in a beer brewing business. After three years of preparation, they opened Minami Yokohama Beer Laboratory in April 2016.

They have 10 types of beer sold in bottles. Among them, their signature beer is "Pale Ale”. Designed to be easy to drink even for beginners with a less peculiar taste, it is "recommended as a gateway to craft beer", Mr. Arai says.

The beer hall attached to their facilities offers many dishes that go well with alcoholic beverages.
The boneless spareribs, which are cooked at a low temperature before grilling, is a popular dish. As well, rare Japanese sakes and wines carefully selected by Mr. Arai, who loves to drink, can also be found. Its easy-going atmosphere attracts even women customers who visit alone.

The brewery is a simple facility with a small amount of brewing. Therefore, the perfect environment for challenges.
As it influences on the beer taste, they take great care in each step of the brewing process without cutting corners. “The best part of drinking at the brewery is that you can drink freshly brewed beer. Since we only stock a small amount of beer, the barrels are replaced within a week, so you can have a brand-new draft beer!" Through these small quantities of draft beer, you can feel the brewery’s "gentleness" and "warmth".
