Omachi, Nagano, Japan｜Northern Alps Brewery

Great beer and food, plus the staff were super friendly. I'm used to craft beer being super aggressively hoppy so at first it came off as weak but after trying a few they really grew on me. The prices are solid too. Tried a bunch of food, and I have to say the lamb sausage is definitely the best. The pizza is, by foreign standards, not very good, but within Japan I'd say it's a passing grade. Keema curry pizza was just so creative, I couldn't resist. The general vibe is also crisp and modern. Definitely worth a visit if you're in town.

Excellent!! Went there today for beers and snacks. Everything was great! Lovely building, pleasant atmosphere, friendly staff. We tried 5 different brews - all were tasty in their own way. Also had some food that was better than average for “bar food”.

Good burger for Japan, not a soggy boiled kind. Beers okay not bad. Place had a great mountain town vibe
