Why are we doing?

"Let's do what we want to do."
　
This was the beginning of Omi Beer.
　
From the simple desire of the representative, Yudai Yamashita, to "try it", a small craft brewery was started in Otsu City, Shiga Prefecture in 2017.
　
"Rather than regretting not doing it, I want to live a life where I try to do what I want to do."
　
With this thought in mind, the days of trial and error began. As the smallest nano brewery among small breweries, even if it cannot be mass-produced, it has expanded the possibilities of craft beer with limited edition beers that make use of seasonal ingredients and a flexible brewing style.
　
Omi Beer's mission is to "give shape to your thoughts".
　
Not only do we give shape to our "want to try", but we also give shape to our customers' desire to have a beer like this. And the moment when someone who sees it says, "The hurdles to try it have been lowered" are also our joy.
　
Because it is a small brewery, beer is made many times, and experience and data are accumulated. The accumulation of these things supports the confidence and deliciousness of Omi beer today.
　
"Smile with ♪ delicious beer"
　
With these words, we continue to pursue the possibilities of new beers today.
　

What are we doing?

At Omi Beer, we aim to create "craft beer rooted in the community" and make beer that values local ingredients and culture.
　
The most iconic is "THE LOCAL". Beer barley, coriander, hops, yeast, and water are all made from locally sourced ingredients, making it a true "local beer". It took 3 years and 6 months to achieve a 100% utilization rate of locally produced raw materials, pursuing the ideal of local production for local consumption.
　
Our strength is also "small-batch manufacturing" that can only be done by a small brewery. The amount produced at one time is 140 liters (about 400 330ml bottles), which is the smallest lot in the industry, and we have brewed more than 100 types of beer so far.
　
We are also actively engaged in OEM manufacturing of original beers that make use of local ingredients such as "yuzu", "ayu zushi", "eggplant", "pickled rape blossoms", and "sansho", as well as "beers that are perfect for hot springs" and "beers that go well with Omi beef".
　
In addition, the beer café "OSANPO" attached to the brewery offers freshly made draft beer as well as dishes that go well with beer, such as "fried chicken marinated in beer". This fried chicken is so popular that it won a gold medal at the 15th Karaage Grand Prix.
　
"Omi Beer LABO" holds beer making experiences and beer lectures, and also conducts activities to spread the appeal of craft beer. There are several people who actually opened a brewery after graduation.
　
We want to be a place where we don't just make beer, but also make use of local ingredients and culture to support people's "want to try".
　

Commitment to the product

【Koji Ale】
It is Omi Beer's signature product and the most popular No. 1 beer. White koji, which produces a lot of citric acid, is used as part of the raw material, and the flavor and acidity of koji are characteristic. The citrus hops have a refreshing aroma, making it both easy to drink and deep flavor. With a gentle mouthfeel of 5.5% ABV and IBU10, it is loved by a wide range of beer beginners and beer connoisseurs.
　
　
[Lake Biwa IPA]
A luxurious hazy IPA with about 3 times the usual hops. It is characterized by a passion fruit-based hop aroma, and you can also enjoy the way it clarifies as it ages. With an ABV of 6.5% and an IBU of 30, it has a perfect balance of firm bitterness and aroma. The unique catchphrase "From SOUTH LAKE to the north" is also the secret to its popularity.
　
【Seasonal Beer】
The limited edition beer, which is released almost every month, is a product that symbolizes the creativity of Omi Beer. It is not uncommon for limited edition beers that make use of seasonal ingredients such as "Sakura Ale", "Yami no Melon Ale", and "Una BEE Sansho Ale" to sell out on the day of release.
　
"Yama's Melon Ale" is a luxurious 8.0% ABV rich beer that makes full use of the flavor of locally grown melons, and can be enjoyed as a dessert.
　
　
[Non-alcoholic craft beer]
ABV0.00%
It takes advantage of the flavor of koji to make it a fragrant non-alcoholic with depth of taste.
The brewer confidently sends out a full-bodied non-alcoholic meal. It is recommended that the temperature is lower. Chill it and enjoy it in a wine glass or champagne glass!
