About the brand
We are also taking on the challenge of a big project called "community development through craft beer". We renovated a corner of the building that used to be a nursery school and launched Nomcraft.
We brew mainly hop-forward American-style beers, and we are actively collaborating with limited-edition beers using abundant agricultural products, which is one of the strengths of the Arita River, and breweries nationwide.
With the "desire" of "brewing our own favorite beer and making many people happy," the two decided to open a brewery here in Japan at that time.

Who are supporting us?
Nomcraft brewing started with the "thoughts" of two Americans, Adam and Ben. When they lived in Japan, they were obsessed with sharing their favorite beers with the friends they made in Japan.
Eventually, they decided to brew their own beer and make many people happy, and they decided to open a brewery here in Japan.
They then returned to their hometowns of Portland and Chicago to study brewing. In the process, when I was thinking about where to open a brewery in Japan, I remembered the people of Aritagawa Town that I met at some point.
The more I researched about Aritagawa Town, the more I realized that it was a suitable place for brewing beer, and I immediately started contacting the townspeople. After many Skype meetings, we hit it off and started a project with the big dream of "community development through craft beer".
We are proud to be a part of Japan's booming craft beer scene. We hope that you will drink the beer we make and have a wonderful time.
All the members fell in love with Aritagawa Town. Please check out the website to find out what kind of community development is like in collaboration with this small town and Craft Beer City Portland, and how the renovation of the nursery school, which is attracting attention, was realized.
Commitment to the product
We are a craft brewery that started in Aritagawa Town, Wakayama Prefecture from the first year of Reiwa. We want to deliver fun NOM culture to the world! "NOMCRAFT" is a combination of the words "drink: nom" and "craftsman" that we often use as Japanese words that foreigners can easily remember.
The beers we brew are based on our favorite American-style IPAs and hoppy ones, and we draw on our experience in Portland, Chicago and Australia. We also actively collaborate with local farmers and makers, as well as brewers in Japan, the United States and around the world. We will flexibly incorporate various inspirations and challenge ourselves to create unique CRAFT products!
There are many craft beer fans, and the main market is a craft beer specialty store and a restaurant.
There are many men in their 20s to 40s, but there is a tendency for the number of women to increase.
