Finding bloggers in Japan is pretty easy if you can read Japanese.  For English resources, the number of people out there is somewhat limited.  It can be difficult to get good information and finding the person who has similar tastes as you can be nearly impossible.  There are a number of bloggers that we respect, but always remember that preference is preference.  If you know other English language bloggers for craft beer in Japan, please comment below or contact us and we’ll add their information.
