The tour we took was done in English.

If you visit without having booked a tour you will be able to visit only the gift shop and the restaurant. The grounds and the factory are only accessible on the guided tour. That being said, if you are in the area, it is still a nice place to stop for lunch.

You have to call in advance and make a reservation for a tour. They have English-speaking representatives that can take your call. We used Google Hangouts to make the overseas call. Not sure if that is available where you are, but you might check in to it. As far as English-speaking tours, I don't think they have those. Our tour guide spoke Japanese throughout the tour. We were given an audio guide in English to use on the tour, but they only gave us one guide with one headphone and there were two of us so it wasn't a great situation. If you have pocket wifi, be sure to bring your own phone and headphones because you can download the audio guide to your phone and listen to it that way.

The first one stars at 10am and runs every hour. Reservations are recommended. You could ask your hotel to help you make a call or else, reserve online via their website (only in Japanese language). What I did was to google translate the terms to roughly know what info they need. Does not vary too far from your name, Time, number of pax and general info. TripAdvisor does not allow me to paste the link here but you can google Asahi Breweries Suita reservation.

Hi there, I tried copying their reservations webpage here. But Tripadvisor not letting me. Google "asahi brewery tour" and the first link should be the reservations link to their brewery. They have several locations which you can tour. I don't see an email where you can write to them. But if you call them, they would definitely be able to answer your questions. Their English is pretty good as their breweries attract a lot of foreigners. Cheers!

Yes, they do supply an English audio guide that has a very reasonable explanation. And definitely not boring! We booked before leaving Australia so it may depend on the season whether a last minute visit is available. Well worth the visit.

Hello, I have just called them and they do not have any English tours. They do have English pamphlets for you. :)
