Japan Brewers Cup & Festival 2013

Over 20 breweries from Japan, the US, Germany and Belgium are lined up to take part in this weekend craft beer fest in Yokohama, where hop heads can sample 70-80 microbrews while a panel of judges decides which one's the best. Unlike all-you-can-drink bacchanals like the Great Japan Beer Festival (which hits the same venue later in the year), it's pay-as-you-go here, though beers start from a cut-price ¥500 per glass so it's unlikely to do your wallet too much damage.
