YUDANAKA BREWERY COMPLEX U in Yamanouchi, Nagano, announced on Aug. 28 that it will hold a 4th anniversary event. The event runs for 11 days, from Friday, Oct. 2 through Monday, Oct. 12, marking the facility’s fourth year this October.

The property is a day-trip complex in the Yudanaka Onsen area, built around craft beer and a broader stay-and-experience concept. Its official site describes the venue through five themes: drinking, eating, relaxing, shopping, and seeing. In addition to beer, the complex offers dining, day-use hot spring rooms, retail, and brewery tours, making it more than a simple taproom.

The lineup currently planned for the anniversary period includes:

- A 4th anniversary beer
- A limited, one-per-day special burger
- A build-your-own afternoon tea and buffet
- A refreshed beer spa
- A 1,000-yen discount offer for guests who spend 5,000 yen or more at the facility, usable at Private SPA&SAUNA U on the second floor

More details are still to come. With beer, food, and spa experiences wrapped into one venue, the anniversary program fits the complex’s day-trip concept closely. For beer fans visiting Nagano, the event will likely be a good chance to see how YUDANAKA BREWERY COMPLEX U blends brewing with local food and relaxation.
