Libushi - Nagano

Fun, interesting microbrewery in Nozawa Onsen. I found they had a good selection of designs (12 when I was there) and they actually make a good IPA that is not common in Japan. You also have a selection of local juices on offer. I recommend the Nozawa IPA or the Rhubarb season when they have it. Both were quite delicious and from the usual for Japanese craft beer options. Take advantage of the visit if you are here skiing or sightseeing.

I tried with Rin (type of an IPA) and Respite (light wheat beer) a tasting of 4 brews! the taproom is very cozy with good music.

Very good beer selection and atmosphere. Friendly staff. A must in Nozawa if you like beer.

Amazing cozy bar where the owner is the original brewery of local beers. Fair prices, good music and friendly atmosphere, especially during the pandemic, if you want to stay with a group of close friends that you trust, this is the place to go

One of the most catting edge brewery in Japanese craft beer industry. They brew great ipas,stouts,sours and burrel aged beers. Their stout won the best burrel aged beer in japan 2019. Brewmaster Tom is really nice guy. Not many food menu. Simply the best place for beer(ski,and onsen)lovers!
