Who we are

Obina Brewing is a family-owned, American-run craft brewery located in the mountains of Kofu, Yamanashi.
Founded by Dave—an American brewer from San Francisco with a deep love for craft beer—Obina is joined by Andy, a fellow brewer from Seattle, another great U.S. West Coast beer city. Together, we brew bold, flavorful American-style beers right here in Japan.

Our brewery was hand-built with care, using mountain spring water, select local and imported ingredients, and global brewing experience. Every batch reflects our passion for creativity, community, and great beer.

You can enjoy our beer at the 2F American Beer Café above the brewery in peaceful Obina, or visit our downtown Kofu bar—Obina Ale House—for pints, takeout cans, and a taste of something new.

We’re not just brewing beer—we’re sharing the American craft beer spirit with Japan.
