Are you a craft beer drinker longing to try some new beers from around the world? Looking to broaden your beer drinking experience? Then you should definitely head over to Motoyama in Nagoya's Chikusa Ward to check out Bier Markt, a craft beer store brought to you by the beer fanatics over at 23 Craft Beerz and Cafe Lembeek (conveniently located about five minutes away). Actually, most of the beers that you can find at those establishments can be bought at Bier Markt.
Bier Markt predominantly stocks craft beers from around the world. You'll find a wide selection of American and European craft beers with some Japanese beers thrown in for good measure. If you are a fan of Belgian or USA west coast beers, this place will be perfect. Most of their beers are found in 355ml bottles, but they also carry some larger ones.
When you hear words like "IPA", "Imperial Stout", or "Saison", do you think someone is speaking gibberish to you? If that is the case, then you need a primer on different beer styles, which the staff of Bier Markt are very knowledgeable about. If you are a craft beer novice, it can be a daunting task to try to find a style of beer that you may like. The staff at Bier Markt will ask you some questions in order to find out what beers you drink and what flavors you like in your beers. For all the craft beer lovers out there, the staff are also accommodating in helping you find new beers or styles to try.
It should be pointed out that drinking craft beer can be an expensive proposition for some. The beers here range from ¥350 to ¥1500 for 355ml bottles, while larger bottles cost from ¥1000 upwards. The larger ones are best shared amongst friends, while the smaller bottles are great when you want to relax at home after a long day of work.
Besides selling craft beers, Bier Markt also stocks a variety of beer glasses for your newly selected beers to go in. Plus, they have selected some international food items that would go perfectly with the beer.
