Hop BroToday’s Hokkaido news! Kyogoku Beer is doing a POP UP, "BEER meets OYATSU," at a beer cellar in Sapporo on December 6 from 14:00 to 20:00.
MugiWhoa! Even the name makes me hungry! It’s not just beer?
Hop BroThat’s the point. It’s a one-day-only event pairing Kyogoku Beer’s three draft beers and bottled beer with sweets from polku, a confectionery shop in Makkari.
MugiAmazing! Are the sweets only sweet stuff?
Hop BroThere are 2 kinds of bagel sandwiches, 2 kinds of quiche, and even curry crackers and salt cookies. In other words, the main attraction is the "pairing design."
MugiPa-pairing design!? That suddenly got technical!
Hop BroSimply put, it means enjoying how each bite changes the flavor when paired with each drink. It’s a style where you really take your time with the impression, rather than just comparing beers quickly.
MugiOhhh! It’s like the beer and sweets are talking to each other, not just something you drink!
Hop BroExactly. And Kyogoku Beer is a brewery that opened in September 2024, so I like how it brings makers from the Yotei area into Sapporo with a local-minded approach. Be sure to check the exact labels and styles on the day, since the offerings may change.
MugiThen let’s check the latest post and head over! I want all three draft beers! ...No, wait, I want all the bagels and quiche too!
Hop BroThat’s the spirit! An event where both beer and sweets are the stars, so there’s nothing left to do but go drink.
According to Kyogoku Beer’s Instagram post "BEER meets OYATSU..." published at 13:40 on November 27, 2025, the brewery will hold a POP UP at a beer cellar in Sapporo from 14:00 to 20:00 on December 6. At the venue, Kyogoku Beer will serve three draft beers and bottled beers, and the two members of the brewery are scheduled to greet visitors.
As the name of the event suggests, the main focus this time is the pairing of "beer and sweets." The post also says that food from `polku`, a shop in Makkari in the Yotei area, will be available. The lineup is as follows.
- 2 kinds of bagel sandwiches
- 2 kinds of quiche
- Curry crackers, salt cookies, and more
At craft beer events, attention often goes to the draft lineup, but this time the defining feature is that the pairing experience is designed to include light food and baked sweets as well. It is a format suited to drinkers who want to explore how each beer changes when enjoyed with food, rather than simply tasting beers in a short session.
Kyogoku Beer is a brewery based in Kyogoku, Hokkaido, and the post also mentions that it "opened in September 2024," suggesting that it has continued building activities that make use of local connections. This POP UP, which brings makers from the Yotei area into a city beer cellar, should be a chance to experience Kyogoku Beer’s local-oriented approach in Sapporo.
Please note that the beers and food offerings may change depending on conditions on the day, so it is best to check the latest post before visiting.
