It seems that no matter where you are, there are going to be regulations put on brewers that can test the limits of the business. On this episode of the Brewer to Brewer podcast Scott Jennings of Sierra Nevada Brewing Co. interviews Scott Brimmer of Brimmer Brewing Co. Brimmer previously worked at Sierra Nevada before moving with his family to Japan.

Over the nearly 20 years he has been there, Brimmer has held a variety of different roles and now co-owns the family named brewery with his wife. He offers a window into Japan’s brewing scene and all he must do to stay within the laws and licenses.
