A latest soccer recreation in Okayama gave me the chance to tick off a prefecture that I’d by no means been to earlier than. I realise that Ehime isn’t that near Okayama, however there’s a direct prepare, so it appeared like a good suggestion. And it was! I solely visited a couple of beer locations so that is very a lot incomplete, however within the regular method, this can get up to date as and after I handle to get to the various locations that have been closed once we have been there. Vital tip for Matusyama, don’t anticipate many locations to be open on a Sunday night. And yet another necessary tip, positively think about visiting Ehime in the event you haven’t. I actually preferred it.
Matsuyama
A number of locations to selected from in Matsuyama, however as I mentioned above, the opening occasions are generally restricted and foiled a couple of of our plans, so bear that in thoughts when making any plans. Everybody talked about Bokke as being the place to go. Naturally it was closed the entire time we have been there…
DD4D Brewing & Clothes Retailer

Possibly many individuals’s first cease in Matsuyama, however as we arrived late we needed to depart it until the subsequent day. This place is a garments store with a brewery and mini taproom on the again. They now have a much bigger brewery and a bar out of city, however this place works nice for daytime ingesting within the metropolis centre. 9 faucets of their very own beer on once we visited. Good costs too for the pints (largely ¥1200). The situation and opening occasions are the large draw and though there’s not a large quantity of house to drink, there’s a desk for 4 and a few room for standing and boozing. Would positively go bac

Dogo Beer Corridor / Dogo Bakushukan
Dogo Onsen could be very touristy and this place has costs that mirror that. It was completely different from how I anticipated it to be, on condition that the brewery is a type of older fashion Japanese breweries with numerous European types. The beer corridor is perhaps extra harking back to an izakaya, however a bit classier and with some stylish music. The meals is extra Japanese than what you may anticipate at a beer corridor in Japan, which sounds sort of ridiculous however hopefully you realize what I imply. Much less pretzels and sauerkraut and extra teishoku. Though the brewery is branching out a bit into extra fashionable types, you’ll most likely be coming right here for the expertise somewhat than the drinks. They do have small tasting sizes although, so in the event you simply need to tick off the beers shortly, you are able to do it with out getting wasted. Oh, and so they have one other standing bar close by if that’s extra your fashion.

The Faucet
Mercifully open on Sunday evening, and till late too. Slim bar tucked away in a constructing containing numerous different little bars, with a counter for round six and slightly desk for 4 hooked up to the top of it. Round eight faucets and so far as I can keep in mind, they have been weighted barely in favour of home stuff. The three faucets of the native Garyu Brewery have been what we have been thinking about. Costs have been sort of regular for what we’d anticipate in Tokyo which isn’t at all times the case once we journey as loads of different cities are costlier. The meals was Japanese leaning pub fashion dishes and was very good.

Espresso & Beer Roots
That is mainly a espresso store / cafe that has one faucet of native beer served on nitro. After we have been there it was a espresso stout, which is sensible with the nitro factor, so I think about they could often have these sort of beers on. The cake was very good right here.

Imabari
In case you’re touring to or from Matsuyama by prepare, you’ll most likely go previous Imabari and the brewery we visited there’s a few 10 minute stroll from the station, really easy to pop in to so why not cut up the journey up? Guess it could additionally work as a spot to rejoice after ending the Shimanami Kaido.
Imabari Machinaka Bakushu

Brewpub positioned in a procuring arcade not removed from the station. Suppose that they had eight faucets of their very own beers on with some cans within the fridge too. Seating is at a counter for about ten so it’s not the most important place. Some meals too. The cheese was very nice and significantly better than you get in another locations. Beers have been in fashionable types with fairly a little bit of haze concerned which isn’t actually my factor. However all the identical, I loved my go to and I believed the non-hazy IPA was actually good. They’re followers of the native J2 crew Imabari which I totally encourage too
