About
Baeren Brewery is located in Morioka, Iwate prefecture which belongs in far north up from Tokyo Japan. We have some traditional and old vintage brewing equipment from southern district of Germany and carried here into Morioka. The traditional way of beer brewing still lives on here and Mr. Miyaki who got certificated as a Brewmeister in Berlin, Germany makes great and beautiful beers. The location of our brewery is perfect also for hiking because it is located near the center of the city and stands just by Route 4 but at the same time surrounded by a forest, which means you can easily and naturally feel the nature around.

Hana Beer Pilsner from Baeren Brauerei
13 years ago
6.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle from Yamaoka. Rich, biscuity malt, sweet, bread, light leafy and citrus hopping. Deep golden with a high, fine head. Sweet and malty, plus a bit alcoholic. They call it a pilsner but I find it more like a heller bock. Very biscuity, some nice hop bitterness and a little hop flavor, some esters too. Burning finish, seems from alcohol but probably more from the hops. Hmmm. A strange one. Tasty malts, but quite one-dimensional. Rich and full. A bit too sweet for me, and not much of a summer beer, as they say it is. Tastes fine, but a bit out of balance and sweet.

On tap at Qbrick, it poured a clear gold with a fluffy head of foam. The aroma was one of white grape, the flavor was a pleasant bitterness to start followed by fruit mid-mouth which ended with a kind of rough grolsch or pilsner urquell type finish... not bad.

Chocolate Stout Vintage (2010-) from Baeren Brauerei

7.4/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Both poured with a thick tan/brown head, the 2012 head is a bit darker. The 2012 aroma is port or wine like with plum notes & the 2013 is more slightly more of a chocolate aroma-much milder smell. The taste of the 2012 is very smooth with sweet syrup & chocolate at the front of the mouth followed by some alcohol warming and a burnt coffee aftertaste. The 2013 is less boozy, more like cocoa powder with a bit of a rough finish. I think the 2013 is a simpler beer, that one year of aging really pushes the beer to new heights of complexity!
