Hop BroToday’s topic is this! Horyuzan Brewery (Horyuzan Beer) will be setting up at "Kawasaki Beer Festival 2026 in Kawasaki Fes Plaza" from February 25 to March 1, 2026.
MugiWhat! All five days!? And Kawasaki Hamburger Fest is happening at the same time too? There’s not enough room in my stomach!
Hop BroExactly. It’s basically a beer-and-burger pairing festival, right? Both beer tasters and food-focused visitors can enjoy it.
MugiSo what kind of brewery is Horyuzan Brewery? The name already sounds strong.
Hop BroThey’re based in Yokosuka and Kurihama, and their flagship is "temple beer" rooted in a temple background. The post didn’t reveal specific beer names, but that "temple beer" line is the brewery’s signature.
MugiWhat!? It said they brew in "small batches with many varieties," but small batches... are those tiny robots?
Hop BroClose, but no robots! It means they brew smaller amounts at a time and make lots of different styles in smaller runs. That makes it easier to release everything from classic, full-bodied beers to other styles.
MugiOhhh! Lots of variety in small quantities sounds like a beer world "snacking paradise"!
Hop BroBut note this: store hours will be irregular during the event period. February 25 to 27 are closed, February 28 and March 1 are shortened hours from 12:00 to 17:00, and March 2 to 5 are also closed.
MugiGot it! If I’m going, I’ll plan around the venue first! Let’s pair temple beer with burgers and go find a "new favorite pour" in Kawasaki too!

Horyuzan Brewery is a craft brewery based in Yokosuka and Kurihama in Kanagawa Prefecture. According to official information, it highlights its background as a temple-based brewery and its distinctive identity as "temple beer" brewed by monks. While aiming for classic, full-bodied flavors, it is also characterized by a small-batch, wide-variety brewing style.
Ongoing participation in local events gives breweries like this a chance to bring their individuality directly to beer fans inside and outside the prefecture. This time, because it overlaps with a large food event in the Kawasaki area, it should be a place where not only visitors looking to compare beers but also those coming for the food can discover a new favorite pour.
