Hop BroAt Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, Kama Fes 2026 Spring on April 11 is going to be seriously hot.
MugiWhat? Draft beer from four breweries gathering at one event? That's already a festival!
Hop BroAnd with draft beer from Shima Jozo, Shimanami Brewery, Swan Lake, and Daisen G Beer on tap, HAKOFUNE is a brewery-attached beer bar, so you can expect great freshness too.
MugiHuh, I hear "draft beer" a lot, but what's the difference from bottles or cans? Does it mean a freshly poured glass?
Hop BroExactly. Because it's poured from a keg, the aroma and head come through more easily, and rotating through the shop's six taps makes each beer's character stand out. HAKOFUNE's appeal is its six-tap service.
MugiThat sounds fun! And they even have beer cups made with ceramic artists for each beer style, so they're serious about the vessel too!
Hop BroThat's what's so Kamado about it: drinking in the atmosphere of a pottery town turns the tools themselves into part of the experience. And the food goes as far as house-smoked mixed nuts and even Bono pork braised in beer.
MugiWait, beer-braised pork means you're chasing beer with beer? Sounds like an endless snack loop is about to begin...
Hop BroThat's actually pretty accurate. And this week's CAMADO lineup includes beers like SAKURA BRUT IPA, MID NIGHT SUN, and SMaSH IPA Simcoe, so you get the best of both limited releases and staples.
MugiOh, I love that you can connect the event pours with the regular lineup. It feels like a one-day spring beer trip.
Hop BroRight, you drink the draft beers from the comrade breweries and then chase HAKOFUNE's regulars too. That's definitely a let's toast right now kind of flow.
MugiYes, yes. On April 11, I want to go to Mizunami and drink together at Kama Fes Spring!
Event Overview
At Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Mizunami, Gifu Prefecture, "Kama Fes 2026 Spring" will be held on Saturday, April 11, from 11:00 to 16:00. According to the official site, Iwamura Brewing (Onna Joushu) and Nakatsu Jin will also participate this time, and the breweries pouring draft beer will be four companies: Shima Jozo, Shimanami Brewery, Swan Lake, and Daisen G Beer. The brewers themselves will not be attending; instead, visitors can enjoy draft beer from Niwa-san’s "comrade breweries."
HAKOFUNE's Appeal
HAKOFUNE is a beer bar attached to the brewery. Its hallmark is serving freshly brewed draft beer on six taps, and, true to the Tono region, it also offers beer cups developed with ceramic artists for each beer style. In the atmosphere of Kamado, a pottery town, enjoying beer through the tools you drink from is something unique to this place. The food menu includes house-smoked mixed nuts, iburigakko cream cheese, seasonal vegetable snacks, beer-braised Bono pork, and Bono pork keema curry, with the pairings becoming clearer the more you drink.
