This year Otaru Beer will operate two beer gardens instead of our usual one at the TV Tower. 

Leibspeise will have a beer garden outside on our terrace, while Otaru Beer will operate one more beer garden at Odori 12-Chome from July 21st until August 15th.  Leibspeise’s outdoor terrace will have approximately 100 seats with approximately 50 seats inside our restaurant. The Beer Garden at Odori 12-chome will have 400 seats and is being held to celebrate the 50th anniversary of the Sapporo and Portland Sister-City Relationship.

「夢の３シェフ競演」

July 28 (Tuesday) 8:35~9:25 Live Broadcast by NHK at Otaru Soko #1 Pub and Brewery

Contest between three chefs:Japanese Cuisine • Italian Cuisine • Chinese Cuisine 

The Theme for this program will be Summer Foods in Otaru.  The day before the program the chefs will travel around the various local markets of Otaru in search of the best ingredients for their recipes.  Food will be cooked the day of the show!

Schwarz Beer Available July 15th!

Schwarz Beer was first brewed in Eastern Germany around 1543.  This Beer has a wonderful Dark color and rich Espresso-like flavor without a burnt character!  It has a very uncharacteristic light body and a sweet creamy head of foam which makes Otaru Beer's Schwarz a Great Beer for Summer with an alcohol content of only 4.8%!

Will be available:

1. Leibspeise and the Leibspeise Summer Beer Terrace by the glass!
2. Otaru Soko #1 by the glass!
3. For those who would like to enjoy it at home, call Home Delivery for 300 ml Bottles or 5 and 12.5 Liter Kegs!
