ビールへの挑戦

For nearly 30 years, we have served beers from around the world in our British pub FooTNiK, but prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to try a new idea. We began brewing our own beer for everyone to enjoy, something which had never seemed possible before.

For nearly 30 years, we have served beers from around the world in our British pub FooTNiK, but prompted by the COVID-19 pandemic, we decided to try a new idea. We began brewing our own beer for everyone to enjoy, something which had never seemed possible before.

After that, in May 2024, Mr. Hiroyuki Hamazaki, known as Hiro, an experienced craft-beer brewer and customer of FooTNiK, joined our brewery as Head Brewer. Currently Hiro, a newly-joined assistant, my wife, and I are all working together in the natural setting of Yugawara, striving to brew beer that will appeal to everyone.

In homage to the pentagon in our logo, BEERNiK BREWING’s classic “Pentagon Series” uses a combination of five different hops, starting with IPA, to brew a wide variety of aromatic beers. We also brew a number of seasonal limited editions. Additionally, we offer an exclusive Real Ale at our Osaki location which is crafted with carbonation derived solely from yeast and dispensed via a hand-pump, a type of beer which is a staple of traditional British pubs.

From spring 2025, both locations of The FooTNiK plan to always offer three types of our original craft draft beers, the Osaki branch will serve one of them by traditional hand-pump.
