Hop BroPerfect summer-evening news: Shizuoka’s Makinohara Ale is pouring at Koyamajo BEER FARM 2026.
MugiWhat! Craft beer in front of a castle? And it’s happening on July 4? That’s an instant calendar save.
Hop BroYep, and Makinohara Ale, run by Ikedaya Beer, is a brewpub-style spot, which means they brew on site and serve it right there.
MugiBrewpub...? Is that like fresh-from-tank mode? Because my brain just pictured a beer faucet sticking out of a factory wall!
Hop BroHonestly, not the worst image. It just means the brewery and bar are together, so freshly brewed beer can be enjoyed on the spot.
MugiOoh, and they’ve got Pale Ale, IPA, and Weizen? That sounds like a tasting paradise. But wait, what even is Weizen?
Hop BroWeizen is often made with wheat malt, and it usually has a soft, smooth mouthfeel with fruity aromas. It goes down very easily in summer.
MugiNo way! The name sounds intense, but the beer sounds sweet. And that Strawberry Sunrise tag means there’s a strawberry beer too?
Hop BroThat’s the big tease this time. They’re also known for things like Kawanehoncho Yuzu Pale Ale, so local ingredients in beer is clearly one of their strengths.
MugiA sunset by the castle with food in one hand and beer in the other? That’s unfair. I’m already planning flagship and strawberry back to back!
Hop BroExactly. From their flagship Makinohara Ale to seasonal pours, that first summer toast is going to stick in your memory.
MugiThen it’s settled: July 4 means meet at Makinohara Ale energy. Now I totally want a beer.
Booth update
Makinohara Ale, a brewpub in Hatsu, Makinohara City, Shizuoka, will set up a booth at Koyajo BEER FARM 2026, held on July 4, 2026 at the parking area in front of Koyajo in Yoshida Town. The announcement frames the event as a place to enjoy beer and food as the summer evening settles in.
The appeal of Makinohara Ale is that it serves beer brewed on site. Its core lineup centers on Makinohara Ale itself, with pale ale, IPA, and weizen among the styles the brewery has been known to pour. As a small brewery run by a local liquor shop, it has a relaxed, approachable atmosphere that fits casual drinking.
In the post, the hashtag #StrawberrySunrise appears as well, suggesting a strawberry-themed craft beer may be part of the lineup. The brewery is also known for its yuzu-based "Kawanehoncho Yuzu Pale Ale," which highlights local ingredients. At Koyajo, visitors should be able to compare a standard pour with more seasonal, locally rooted beers.
