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.

Rye from Baeren Brauerei

6.9/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 6.5
Golden orange with a white head. Strong wheat ale notes in the aroma. banana, clove, sweet malts, candied malts, yeast. Very full mouth. Flavor is close to a wheat. Banana, malts, yeast, light spices, and just a hint of rye. A good beer, but disappointing if you wanted some rye flavors. Why are so many "rye" ales lacking rye characteristics?

Pale Ale from Baeren Brauerei

6.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Bottle. Very dark amber to brown color. No head. Malty, fruity, caramel aroma. Rounded and sweet with big malt concentration and little hops. Flavor of dark fruit, toasty malt, cereals and caramel. Very British, with nice malt showing through but really needs more hops.

German Pilsner from Baeren Brauerei

7.8/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 8 Flavor 8 Texture 8 Overall 8
Bottle, only available through a 3-month home delivery package from the brewery. Light straw color. Rich biscuit malt, nicely hopped, fruity aroma. Malty flavor with a touch of butter. Very fruity and creamy, with crackers, nice hops, good malt complexity. Long, peppery, prickly hop finish, exceptional for a pilsner. Really good hopping! Nicely done. Wish they would make it a regular.

Belgian Biscuit Ale from Baeren Brauerei

7/10 — Appearance 6 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 8 Overall 7
Bottle. Contains biscuit malt and cinnamon. Sweet, cookie-like aroma of sweet biscuit malt, cinnamon, cocoa. Sweet and malty, not too much spice at all. Slight Belgian yeast flavor, but not really Belgian. Rich cocoa flavor as well, and yeast character is evident. Slight cinnamon and a touch of ginger taste as well. Really quite different. Thick, rich body. Nice winter beer. Couldn’t drink a lot.

Bottled. Lightly hazy golden, small head. Aroma of bread and butter. Sweet and soft, medium to full bodied with solid malt backbone. Perhaps overly sweet, but packed with good alt flavours. Fruity with notes of wheat malt. Low bitterness.

Iwate no Komugi Beer from Baeren Brauerei
17 years ago
6.5/10 — Appearance 4 Aroma 7 Flavor 7 Texture 6 Overall 7
Draught at the Brewery Tap in Morioka. Pale yellow color with a huge, fine, snowy head. Hazy but not cloudy. Rich banana and clove aroma, sweet, fruity wheat. A bit too much? Big banana flavor; lots of wheat. Sweet as hell. Too much, though not bad. A bit too cloying overall, but tasty, thick and rich with a slight bitter touch in the finish but no sour flavors at all.

Rye Bock from Baeren Brauerei

8.5/10 — Appearance 8 Aroma 8 Flavor 9 Texture 8 Overall 9
Slightly muddy dark brown, with a huge head. Big aroma of banana and chocolate, and rye, clove. Slightly sour. Smooth, rich, huge flavor. Rye, banana, chocolate, spice, with a bitter hop and burnt malt finish that surprises. Super complex. Bubbly, soft, foamy mouthfeel. The funky, strange bitterness is interesting and challenging. Amazing. Their best so far.

Draught at Craft Beer Bar, Yokohama. Clear deep golden, rich firm head. Sweaty hops shine in a fruity nose. Outspokenly dry with clean, yet deep mouthfeel. Grassy hops xover the well developed malt. Fruity wih baanced salty bitterness. Pleasant and quaffable.
