Minoh Beer Warehouse

A bit of a hike from train stations but a stylish modern building in a quiet side street. Great open plan decor, standing and sitting downstairs, spacious with tables upstairs. Plenty of locals dropping by on a late Sunday afternoon to grab bottles to go. About 8 taps operating, mostly year-rounds but a couple of seasonals on tap and bottles. One hand-pump too, decent low prices. Smiling service, kids ok, plenty of merch for sale. I’d go here all the time if I lived nearby. Go if in the area for falls or onsen.

About 10 minutes' walk from Makiochi Station. They serve beer from early on, which is nice. Visited during the afternoon and many friends showed up. Very lively on a Saturday, with lots of windows to let in the winter sun. Great lineup of Minoh beers on tap including a couple I had not seen before, plus at least one rare barrel aged beer in the bottle. Prices very reasonable. Just wish they had a couple hand pumps here as the real ale versions of their beers are very nice but harder and harder to find lately.

Finally made it to this lovely lively space with 10 taps (8 on at the moment) ranging in price from 520/570¥ a half to 830/880¥ a pint. Fairly large with a busy and fun 1st floor bar area (mostly standing) and a large 2nd floor seating area that seems to be used when it gets busy in the evenings. Popular with locals and ladies. Bottles are reasonably priced and it is a great place for Minoh Swag. Check it out after visiting Minoh Falls.
