Kirin's Spring Valley Brewery brand is launching a new service at their Beer To Go location in the basement of Ginza Sony Park. It's named "Club BTG," and allows you to grab a beer every weekday for a monthly membership fee of 2496 yen.
Yes "grab" -- this isn't a subscription box service, where you're sent some product every month. Instead, you'll need head to Ginza, choose your beer from the 17 they offer, and take it out.
