A Local Beer That Captures the Nature of Kawaba
The appeal of Kawaba Beer goes beyond its award-winning history. By using water from Mount Hotaka and brewing with 100% malt, the brewery brings out a distinctive smoothness and aromatic character associated with Kawaba’s natural environment.
Trying the different varieties side by side is one enjoyable way to experience their individual characteristics: the crisp Pilsner, fruity Weizen, and rich, full-bodied Bock each offer a different drinking experience.
