The Sapporo Beer Museum ・ Brewing History, Sapporo Beer Tasting, and Some Drunken Education

The Experience

• 

  The museum exhibitions start on the third floor, in a room with ceilings that might just make you feel like you yourself are in one big beer barrel.

• 

  But the real huge beer barrel is this enormous keg at the heart of the exhibition, which was actually used in a beer brewery! The enormous size makes it clear: the Japanese beer industry is no joke. In fact, the museum displays include a number of beer-brewing instruments that were really used to make beer in Japan before World War II.

• 

  Of course, the museum tour ends with a taste test! Unfortunately, the Japankuru team got so caught up in the fun, we forgot to take our own pictures of the beers at the museum. So before you go, please enjoy our lovely photo of a Kirin beer, and below you'll see someone else's great snapshot from the museum tasting itself!
