Baeren Brewery to Hold Second "Barley Harvest Festival 2026" on June 6
Baeren Brewery in Morioka, Iwate announced on Instagram that it will hold "Barley Harvest Festival 2026" on June 6. It is a small-group premium event that includes a barley-harvesting experience, BBQ, and a stop at Tama-machi Yoiichi, with participation limited to the first 20 people.
Hop BroHere comes Baeren Brewery's Barley Harvest Festival 2026 again this year. The second event is on June 6, and I love how it connects the field all the way to the beer.
MugiWait, from the field to the beer? What does that even mean!? Does the harvested barley turn straight into a pint?
Hop BroNot quite, but the barley harvested at Takahashi Farm eventually becomes Baeren beer. The best part is being able to experience the origin of beer brewing right there in the field.
MugiThat is so romantic! But if you can also enjoy BBQ, won't harvesting and hunger go wild at the same time?
Hop BroLet them run wild. Plus, it's a small-group event with only the first 20 people accepted, so you can enjoy it at a relaxed pace without things getting too chaotic.
MugiOnly 20 people!? That's basically a premium event! And after hearing about beer in a field, I feel like I should start speaking politely to barley.
Hop BroTransportation is by microbus, and on the way back the group passes through the Tamamachi area before returning to the Kitayama factory. If you get off along the way, you can also stop by Tama-machi Yoiichi, which feels very Morioka.
MugiWait, being able to stop by Yoiichi too is amazing! Harvest, eat, walk, and then drink at the end - that is a total weekend full course!
Hop BroThe fee is paid on the day at the meeting point, and only cash or gift certificates are accepted. It feels like a grounded event, very Baeren, with respect for European tradition.
MugiThis is the kind of thing where just breathing in the field air makes the first drink taste better! Just hearing about it makes me want a Baeren beer right now!
