Japanese Beer Fest at Umami Mart + The Trappist, January 24, 2016



Here's an event for craft beer fans in the San Francisco Bay area.

Umami Mart (an importing business focusing on Japanese goods), and The Trappist (a Belgian & specialty beer bar/restaurant), are hosting their Third Annual Japan Beer Fest on January 24.

The event will be held at
The Trappist
460 8th Street
Oakland, CA 94607

The tap list is quite amazing. Shiga Kogen is generally considered one of the best craft brewers in Japan, and their beers are hard to find outside of Japan. Baird, Coedo, and Hitachino Nest, though more commonly seen in the US, are right up there, too.

  1. I was there! I needed something get my groove back after my father's death [14 October 2015]. San Francisco pulled forward its Beer Week to not conflict with the NFL Championship Game (which was in the Bay Area). I had credit remaining on Southwest Airlines, so I flew to SFO.
    I have some photos from there, but they're on the computer back at the abode. Hopefully, they will remind me of which beers I had.
