At the end of the tour, we tasted plenty of three delicious beers for free!

We had visited Kirin Brewery Yokohama Factory before the renewal, but it was our first visit after the renewal. (January 2019)

Get off at Keihin Electric Express Railway Bare Station and take about 15 minutes. The elevated highway of the Metropolitan Expressway K7 Kanagawa Route 7, which had never been before, passes the sky in front of the factory.
When you enter from the entrance of the factory tour, a giraffe's niece welcomes you in a beautiful white-based entrance. An illusionary animal that appears before a joy, not an interesting person whose voice is low even though it is a wolf.

If you are making a reservation at the reception desk, check in with the name of the reservation person and receive a tour badge. If there is time, such as weekdays, it seems that you can enter even if you have a small number of people without reservations, but it is better to make reservations easily from your smartphone.
You will gain factory history and beer knowledge at the Kirin Drink Lab until you visit. Maybe there are some present benefits.

The factory tour is a fun and easy-to-understand presentation of the raw materials and a series of flows from fermentation to loading. Personally, the best comparison between drinking squeezed wort and second squeezed wort was good. You can see which one tastes with your own tongue.

At the end of the plant tour, we were able to sample three types of squeezed in January 2019, the most squeezed stout black, and the most squeezed premium. The plant-limited persimmon seeds were provided as a snack for tasting. I am quite satisfied when I drink it all. This is great for free.

After breaking up, you can buy souvenirs at the KIRIN factory shop. There are canned beer and sweets, towels, T-shirts, coasters and glasses.

And if you are not happy with tipsy people, you can travel to the Spring Valley Brewery, a state-of-the-art on-site restaurant offering Spring Beer Brewery, or Restaurant Beerport, where you can make fresh lamb jingiskan.
It is the strongest on-site combo.
