Bars

When we launched Japan Beer Times in the winter of 2010, there were only a few dozen bars that specialized in craft beer. Now there are a few hundred. In addition, hundreds if not thousands more carry at least one or two brands of craft. We used to host a guide to some of the craft beer bars here, but that has become impractical because of the sheer number of places. However, we do operate a smart-phone application that lists over three hundred of some of Japan’s best. Simply called Craft Beer Japan, it allows users to find craft beer bars via their GPS location or browsing. We update it almost weekly with new entries. It is available from both the iTunes store and the Android app store.
