Coedo

1996 · brewery founded

Its parent, Kyodo Shoji, had been farming organically since the 1970s. In 1996 it brewed a beer from local sweet potatoes, today's Beniaka. The brand was first spelled Koedo ('little Edo', the town's nickname), then became Coedo in 2006, and its brewers trained for five years under German brewmaster Christian Mitterbauer.
