Hop BroMugi-chan, the Oita Station Front Beer Fest is going to be hot during Golden Week! Brewmaster from Fukuoka will be there from May 2 to 6, 2026.
MugiWhat! Right by the station!? A holiday-period event means we could stop by even in the middle of a trip!
Hop BroThe venue is the JR Oita Station North Exit Plaza, and the event name is BEERS OF JAPAN FESTIVAL 2026 Oita. The access is basically a blessing, right?
MugiHuh, is the schedule the same every day? I want to know what time it starts and ends!
Hop BroIt's 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m. as the standard, but the first day opens at 5:00 p.m. and the last day ends at 6:00 p.m. Miss that, and you'll be crying!
Hop BroBrewmaster was founded in 2002, and it's a brewery with a local terroir-oriented approach that makes use of Kyushu ingredients.
MugiWhat is that even! What's terroir!? You suddenly started chanting something wine-like!
Hop BroSimply put, it means making flavors that suit the local food and climate. In other words, it's beer design that prioritizes pairing with local dishes.
MugiI get it! So have the beer names and styles been announced yet? IPA? Lager?
Hop BroAt this point, the details on the lineup haven't been released yet, so it's basically a day-of surprise. But something with Brewmaster's signature individuality is sure to show up.
MugiWhoa, that makes it even better! A casual stop by the station, but with a serious pint sounds like the perfect Golden Week plan!
Hop BroThat's settled then - just check the times and go for it. During the holiday, start with a toast over a beer. That's the plan!
