As a brewer with some Japanese connections, let me say my thoughts are with the craft brewers that may have been affected by the earthquake and tsunami.
I'd be interested in reports from the ground on the well-being of Hitachino Nest (in Ibaraki, not far from Hitachinaka and Mito) and perhaps Baird Brewing (close to the water in Numazu). I'm assuming the Sendai Brewery and beer garden was hard hit (I've heard their fermenters fell over) and Kyodo Kirin as well. The only other place I've visited in the area that may have been affected is Ichinomura Shuzo.
Any other news?
