Nagano Minamikaze Beer has published an Instagram post titled “The beginning begins…”. At the time of writing, the post does not provide specific details such as an event name, venue, or beer lineup. Its wording, however, suggests that a new project, appearance, or seasonal release may be on the way.

Nagano Minamikaze Beer is a brewpub located in Shindencho, Nagano City, about an eight-minute walk from Nagano Station. Guests can enjoy house-brewed beer and food while looking through the glass at the brewing tanks. The blue-toned interior is designed to evoke the atmosphere of the sea.

The brewery’s story began in 2010 with a standing yakitori bar in Tsurumi, Yokohama. After returning to Nagano in 2016, the owner opened a craft beer and charcoal-grilled chicken restaurant. The current brewpub opened in 2021, and the brewery obtained its manufacturing license in April 2022.

Nagano Minamikaze Beer places a strong emphasis on ingredients from Shinshu. Its beers have included interpretations of pale ale and IPA, as well as creations featuring local apples, peaches, apricots, plums, and buckwheat. The brewpub’s food menu includes Shinshu salmon, lamb sausage from Shinshu-Shinmachi, and locally produced cured ham.

The Instagram post itself does not yet announce a concrete event date or release date. Beer fans will need to watch the brewery’s official channels for the details behind this new beginning.
