Nagano Minamikaze Beer announces September event stops in Nasu, Yokohama and Shinshu
Nagano Minamikaze Beer, a brewpub near Nagano Station, posted its September schedule on Instagram. The brewery will appear at three events in Nasu, Yokohama, and Shinshu, and also announced that it will be open on Thursday, September 10.
Hop BroSeptember is looking busy. Nagano Minamikaze Beer is hitting three stops in Nasu, Yokohama, and Shinshu, and that really gives it a traveling-pint vibe.
MugiWait, three venues!? So it is a September event rush? But what happens to the shop, is it closed the whole time?
Hop BroThat is the interesting part. The day they first listed as closed has changed, and Thursday the 10th is open after all, so they are juggling the pub and festival appearances at the same time.
MugiWhoa! But hang on, when you say brewpub, it suddenly sounds like a spell. Is that some kind of beer wizard school?
Hop BroClose, and honestly I would enroll. A brewpub is a place that brews beer in-house or nearby and serves it right there. This one is an eight-minute walk from Nagano Station, and you can even see the tanks from the counter.
MugiDrinking while staring at the tanks sounds so fun! And if they also have Shinshu salmon and lamb sausage, my stomach is already seated before I am.
Hop BroThe food pairing side is strong too. They trace their roots back to a standing bar in Yokohama's Namamugi in 2010, then got a brewing license in 2022 and really ramped up their house-made beer.
MugiOkay, so this article is not really about a specific beer or style, but more about when and where people can go find them, right?
Hop BroExactly. They will be at Nasu Local Beer Festival on September 5 and 6, BeerFes Yokohama on September 12 and 13, and BeerFes Shinshu from September 19 through 23, so both pub regulars and festival hunters can catch them.
MugiI kind of love that you can meet them in Nagano or on the road. First I want a pint near Nagano Station, and then I want to spot them again at a festival!
Hop BroThat is the move. You can sip while watching the tanks at the pub, or drink in the middle of festival buzz. September is the joy of choosing where to drink.
MugiI am settled then, because my throat reacted before my calendar did. This was the kind of article that makes you want a beer now!
