Japanese Beers 01: Chichibu Beer

Since there are no decent websites on Japanese Beer in English I will try my best in the next little while to document what I've found.

This beer company is a microbrewery, or as the Japanese like to call it "Craft Beer" from Chichibu in the Satiama Prefecture. The best websites I've found on these beers are
