Yebisu Beer Museum

With Little Man in school the day after Thanksgiving, we visited the Yebisu Beer Museum. Yebisu beer is one of Japan's most famous and historic brands. First brewed in Tokyo in 1890 by the Japan Beer Brewery Company, it is now produced by the Sapporo Brewery. The museum allows visitors to look back at over a century of beer making where the huge factory once stood.

Welcome to the museum!

During the war, the government controlled the price
and distribution of beer. All brand labels were removed.

Kanpai! (Cheers!)

Feeling a little Japanese after my drink!
