New year of 2025 and we did not have any plan, so we decided to visit Sapporo Beer Museum. Since I was planning to drink a bit that day, we decided to go by subway station instead of driving.

It was around 15 minutes walk from the station, and once you arrive in the area, you will be greeted with the infamous beer barrel in front of the building. Make sure you take a lot of pictures here!

Once you get inside the building, you head straight to the second floor, in which you can pick between free area or paid guided tour area (500 yen). Well, I picked the free one since I have been in the paid area before. Inside the free area you can also learn about the history of Sapporo Beer brand.

There are some posters in both Japanese and English in which you can learn about the history of Sapporo Beer brand, from the logo, bottles, and ingredients. There are also multilingual pamphlet you can take in the free area of the 2nd floor.

Beer Tasting

After seeing everything in the 2nd floor free area, we proceeded to the first floor for some beer tasting. For 1000 yen, you can also taste a set of three different Sapporo Beer variants. Make sure you are above 20 years old and not driving on that day if you want to taste some beers! Also, there is a time limit of 30 minutes for each group. So make sure you leave after you finish your drinks.

Here is a video from my last visit to Sapporo Beer Museum.
