Hop BroCHORYO Brew Park in Nara is holding its 28th brewery festival on November 15, 2026. It’s a great day for both beer and sake!
MugiWow! The 28th festival? That must be such a beloved local event!
Hop BroExactly. It runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., with free admission, rain or shine. A perfect autumn outing at the CHORYO Craft Beer brewpub.
MugiFree admission makes it easy to try! But as a beer fan, I need to know about the event-only beer!
Hop BroThe star is the Kurabiraki Lager. It’s a crisp lager designed to pair easily with food.
MugiWhat exactly is a lager? Is it a beer style? Please don’t tell me it just means a beer that lounges in a refrigerator!
Hop BroClose enough to be funny, but not quite! Lagers are often fermented slowly at cooler temperatures, which can create a clean, crisp finish.
MugiOhhh! Then it sounds perfect with the brewery-style food treats, like Narazuke pickles and cheese.
Hop BroAbsolutely. There will also be fresh sake, sake lees, lucky bags, merchandise, erhu performances, and a rock-paper-scissors contest.
MugiDrinking, music, and competition—that’s a full schedule! The upstairs seating is reservation and lottery only, though, so we should check ahead.
Hop BroRight, and there’s no parking on the day, so use public transportation. Check the official details, then come ready to toast.
MugiDone! Let’s toast with Kurabiraki Lager and explore the sake and food too. I already want to visit Nara in November!
