Very nice place and free Orion beer! Your free factory tour is so great. I like beer, Free beer would be better... Big Like 7. Keep your safe and healthy...👍👍
Free beer is the best! The tour was lovely. So much good information and all done really well. The fact that they serve free beer is amazing. Hopefully it's a great selling tool for them! I know we bought their beer more afterward.
Hahaha me too! Akane was super sweet about that. Usually I am the driver, so this was a really nice change of scenery! The tour was great. Short and to the point. Lots of good info, and 2 drinks - perfect.
They are well worth your time. We did a few during our trip to the USA as well, and I think we will continue to add them to our itinerary. Great way to sample some local drink, and they are usually cheap, or in this case, free!
I miss Japan too! We are trying to plan a return trip, but with everything going on we can't do much. Things have been pretty good so far - I have been working from home for the last 3 weeks or so, but Akane is still working. It's good that she has a job still though as there are a ton of people who have been laid off without any sort of income. How are you making out over there?
Enjoyed watching your video. The Saranac Brewery (formerly Utica Club), not far from me in Central NY, used to have free tours and tastings for years. I think they charge a small fee for adults now. When I toured it as a kid in the early 1970s, they gave free trolley rides, too. Your post brought back memories of the scent of cold beer (or maybe it was the hops?) that you can smell throughout the building during the tour.
It was fun going here! After doing several of the distilleries in Kentucky while on the bourbon trail, we knew we had to come here. I was shocked it was all free. The first time I have ever come across that. On the other hand, it shocked Akane (who is from Japan) that they charged money for the tours when we went in the States, lol. Yes, it's the hops for sure that you can smell as you go through. A very distinct smell! So glad this brought back some good memories for you!
I really enjoyed the Orion beer! It was nice and light and had a really good taste. We had a few varieties during the trip and I don't think there was one kind I didn't enjoy.
Hey there Greetings from your new friends in Bali! Thanks for sharing the brewery tour. How's things in Japan? Is it pretty locked down now? Take care and stay safe :)
Things in Japan are different depending on where you go. We are back in Canada now - which is really locked down. Where my wife's family lives, the kids are back to school if the area isn't too infected. Other places are still on lock down - they are having issues in Tokyo at the moment as people are still going to the bars like nothing is happening, etc. Here in eastern Canada we are under a state of emergency. It's a measure to keep our numbers low. Some provinces get more new infections a day then the entire eastern half of the country has in total - so something is working. But that also means working at home, being laid off, not being allowed in parks, or on hikes, and strict social distancing. Let's hope with the effort it will pay off and we can have a "normal" summer!
It took me a really love time to enjoy beer. I don't drink often, but now I can actually enjoy a nice cold beer. This place really added to the experience by making everything free!
In the UK there has been an explosion of micro brewery's, especially real ales, unfortunately, something I do not like lol. Looked a good tour and I always like to drive out and then have a drink, with Mrs Metalman driving back lol! Take care buddy, cheers Alan
Yes, we have a lot of little breweries popping up here too. This is one of the larger beer producers in the area, so they had a lot more going on that some of the other places! Great tour, and then some great free beer as well!
Good tour and who doesn't like a free beer!! 👍❤️
I was really surprised when I found out it was all free. Alternatively, Akane thought it was so strange when we went to the states and had to pay!
Very nice place and free Orion beer!
Your free factory tour is so great.
I like beer, Free beer would be better...

Cracking tour guys..... Glad you got to enjoy the good stuff Josh 🍻

Brewery tours seem like so much fun! We’ve never done one, but have always wanted to! Maybe soon!
They are well worth your time. We did a few during our trip to the USA as well, and I think we will continue to add them to our itinerary. Great way to sample some local drink, and they are usually cheap, or in this case, free!
Nice upload!👍Thanks for sharing!👍👍👍
Thank you! It's always fun getting to go on a tour like this. The fact that it's free is a real bonus!
I always love me a brewery tour especially if it's free! Very nice Josh and thanks for sharing!
It was so sweet that it was free. I've never come across anything like that before.
Well hey, there's nothing wrong with free. Free beer and a free designated driver. "I'll drink to that". lol.
Oh yeah! I had it made this day, lol. Makes it all the better when the beer is that good too!
I’ve been slacking on the video watching! Thanks for bribing me with a contest to get me back on here 😋
I do what needs to be done. But now that you are back on the bandwagon, feel free to watch the older ones! I won't hold you back.
Great beer 🍺 tour TFS have a great week ATB from Canada 🇨🇦 👍🍺
Thanks! Any free beer is good beer (normally). We were impressed with this place however. Nice tour and good products!
A good idea Josh.👍
Stay safe, be well - and Happy Passover and Easter, enjoy the holidays
Thank you John! We are enjoying a nice long weekend at home. Cooked a chicken and are doing what we can. Hope all is well with you and your family!
Free Beer, sign me up! Cool tour and video! Cheers! 🍺 🍺👍😎 ~Maverick
I know right! Such a great system they have here. The tour was great and we enjoyed the stop!
Great video man, Orion beer is some of the best I've ever had. Keep up the quality content!
Thanks! This trip was the first time I have ever had it. Let's say it was good enough that we had it the whole time! Thanks for watching!
Man, I miss Japan. Nice tour of the brewery!!! Hope you are doing well with everything going on these days!!!

Cool tour, never tried Orion beer. But not much of a drinker... It fresh must have been nice though and free even better!
It took me a really love time to enjoy beer. I don't drink often, but now I can actually enjoy a nice cold beer. This place really added to the experience by making everything free!
like #2 big thumbs up 👍
Thanks! This was an awesome place, and they had some great beer!

Yes! This was one of the few places I've come to that offered a free tour! It worked, we almost bought Asahi beer the rest of the trip!
Ive done that too Josh lol chatted and lost time. That brewery looks cool :) great to see how they label and ship everything. Free beer thats great :)
Free beer really is the way to go, lol. This was a great tour. They did things well and the tour had some good info.
