Otaru Beer Otaru Warehouse No. 1 stands beside the Otaru Canal in a converted Meiji-era stone warehouse. In the high-ceilinged interior, copper brew kettles stand in the center. Following the German Reinheitsgebot, the beers are brewed using only malt, hops, water and yeast, and include pilsner, dark beer and wheat beer. They pair with German sausages and Hokkaido ingredients. Free guided tours of the brewing equipment are offered daily, subject to availability. Opening hours are about 11:00 to 23:00. Visiting in the evening, when the canal’s gas lamps are lit, is especially pleasant. It is about a 2-minute walk from the Central Canal Bridge.
