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.

Light brown color, thick ivory white head. Very sweet milk chocolate, lactose, vanilla, caccao nose. The theme continues in the mouth and almost is cloying, but just stops short. Lasting caccao, sweet vanilla finish. Very different, but very tasty. This was like no porter I have tried before.

Gold with a touch of red and little head. Aroma was caramel, bubblegum, and sweet orange. Flavor was sweet, subtle hops, caramel and muted orange. Medium body. Meh, wasn’t bad, wasn’t great.

Light amber color. Thin head. Butter popcorn and caramel dominate nose. Over powering with the dyctyle through out with a big caramel finish. Pass, this is not my type of beer.

Draft: Pitch black color, frothy brown head, dark chocolate nose. Not too strong. Silky smooth mouth with dark chocolate, whisky, cherries and a touch of nuttiness. Palate is very smooth, but lacking roasted character I wanted. Smooth chocolatey finish.

Bottled. Clear golden, rich head. Dry rye bread aroma. Medium bodied with crisp dryness and gently soft mouthfeel. Plenty of grassy hops to accomapny the lovely maltiness makes this a top pilsener. Finishes with lingering pleasant bitterness.

Dark golden color. Rye, whisky, wheat in the nose. This is much more of a rye wheat than anything. Like spritzy body that has the esteriness of a hefe, but the spiciness of the rye really adds character and dries things out. Very thrist quenching. Love it.

Muddy amber color. Bubblegum, clovess and milk chocolate in nose. Banana split, clovey mouth that is relatively well balanced. Slightly tart, chocolately finish. Nice. Haven’t tried for ten years and wow, it’s even better than before. Really well balanced, malty and never sweet or cloying. Excellent

Cloudy reddish-chestnut colour. Big, flowery, estery aroma of roses, banana, plums and hints of bubblegum and pear. A lot of stuff going on here. Highly floral and bananaish character, with hints of caramel malts and a touch of balancing acidity (I hate to say that because people might think the beer is tart - it’s not - but the acidity is the only thing keeping this from being super-cloying). It’s definitely a weizenbock...a fairly simple one, though.

Dark straw colour. Rich bready aroma notes with alcoholic spiciness. Somewhat light - the rich, bready goodness promised in the nose is obscured by a fresh mountain waterfall. Slightly malty and alcoholic finish.
