01

From the record

Summary

Founded by an American-Japanese couple, the OGs of introducing bold, hop-forward West Coast styles to Japan.

A summary written during research. The sourced facts are in the sections below.

Tally’s Take

An American-Japanese couple brought West Coast hops to a market that had no vocabulary for them. Half of modern Japanese craft is downstream of that stubbornness.
