MugiWhat! A beer fest in Koshu City already makes me want to go! Beer in Yamanashi somehow sounds like it has to be amazing!
Hop BroThis time, as exhibitor introduction no. 3, they were introducing RIOT BEER. And RIOT BEER is participating only by supplying beer, with And Beer handling the pouring from its taps.
MugiWait, hold on! What do you mean participating only by supplying beer? Even though they’re a brewery, they’re not pouring it themselves at the venue?
Hop BroExactly. It’s basically a proxy-service style setup. They’ve worked out the staffing and operations, while still making sure people can enjoy RIOT BEER’s flavor at the venue.
MugiI see! If you can drink from just one glass, that feels super easy to drop by casually! And no advance registration needed either - that’s a really friendly event!
Hop BroAnd Beer itself is interesting too. It started in 2017 as a brewpub in Koenji, then built a brewery in Katsunuma in 2021. Now it’s operating mainly from its Koshu City base.
MugiWow! Balancing Tokyo and Yamanashi is so cool! The vibe of the shop must feel different too, and it somehow makes you feel like you’re traveling!
Hop BroThey even do things like the ROUND TRIP series, which is aged in wooden barrels originally from wineries, plus collaborations using agricultural products. It’s the kind of brewery where the Yamanashi character really comes through in the liquid.
MugiThat’s unfair! Just imagining the aroma of the wooden barrels already makes my throat remember beer!
Hop BroYou can also see the connections between breweries, and the best part is that you can enjoy a local way of drinking. Events like this make you excited before you even take the first sip.
MugiYeah, I really want to go! I want to keep April 11 as a day for toasting, and now I want us to go drink together too!
On Instagram, And Beer featured RIOT BEER as exhibitor introduction no. 3 for the “Shionoyama Beer Fest,” scheduled for Saturday, April 11. The venue is `cirque.enzan` in Shioyamashimooso, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. The post said that RIOT BEER will participate only by providing beer, which will be served on its behalf through And Beer’s taps. It also announced the event as one that can be casually enjoyed on-site from just one drink, with no advance registration required.
And Beer was founded in 2017 as a brewpub in Koenji, Tokyo, and established its brewery in Katsunuma in 2021. In 2025, it consolidated its brewing operations in Kosade, Katsunuma-machi, and now operates with its Yamanashi taproom in Koshu City as one of its bases. While continuing to run its shop in Koenji, it has been brewing beers in Yamanashi that make use of local ingredients and seasonal character.
On its official website, the brewery introduces its barrel-aged beer series “ROUND TRIP,” made with wooden barrels received from wineries, as well as brewing projects done in collaboration with agricultural products. This beer festival is also worth watching as a place to enjoy the connections between breweries and a local Yamanashi style of drinking.
