Ry Beville's love of craft beer has developed into an occupation in which he publishes Japan's only bilingual craft beer magazine.

With the quarterly Japan Beer Times launched in 2010, Beville, 37, from Richmond, Virginia, says he wants to help spread the microbrewing culture in Japan, where craft beer is still not widely recognized by consumers, especially in the Kanto region.

"I want more and more people to get to know about craft beer, and develop the craft beer culture in Japan," said the Yokohama resident.
