PHERMENT BREWING

PHERMENT BREWING in Kuramae brings together the pleasure of choosing a beer and the satisfaction of sitting down to a burger. This brewery taproom pours beers brewed on site; visitors have ordered NZ PILS and Hazy IPA, among others. One visit recorded 6 beers on tap, with diners comparing the house brews and guest beers. Half and full sizes were available, too.

For a meal with your beer, one visitor’s choice of a bacon cheeseburger with COFFEE IPA offers a useful pairing idea. The beer had a noticeable coffee aroma and went well with the burger. The toasted, fluffy bun and a patty with a pronounced meat flavour also made an impression. That order came as a set with fries and a soft drink. It’s an option for anyone looking for a substantial meal, not just a beer.

If you’d like to start with the beer, a half-size pour is one way to try it. One account of a visit also mentions seeing the brewing tanks inside. In Kuramae 3-chome, it’s a place to enjoy a beer from the brewer, one glass at a time.
