Hop BroNasu Garden Brewery announced on Instagram that it will be exhibiting at Tochigi Craft Beer Festa 2026. It’s the kind of event that makes beer fans across the prefecture start buzzing at Light Cube Utsunomiya near the east exit of Utsunomiya Station.
MugiWait, it’s being held at Utsunomiya Station East Exit?! So you can drink without going all the way to Nasu? That’s seriously awesome!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is the 1F and 2F exchange plaza at Light Cube Utsunomiya. And it runs from April 17 to 19, with 15:00-21:00 on the 17th and 11:00-21:00 on the 18th and 11:00-17:00 on the 19th.
MugiOhhh! But the flyer says rain or shine, which is oddly interesting. So what happens in severe weather? Does the weather become more important than the beer?
Hop BroThat part is important, and it clearly says canceled in severe weather. So light rain is fine, but a typhoon-level storm is, understandably, a no-go.
MugiI see~! Nasu Garden Brewery has a direct sales shop in Nasu Garden Outlet, right? It feels like the kind of beer you discover on a trip, which makes it extra special!
Hop BroThat’s right. The operating Nasu Boulder Project wants to develop Nasushiobara as a city where people can enjoy a healthy lifestyle, and it positions craft beer as one of its symbols.
MugiSo it’s not just a local beer, but more like the face of the brand for city building. The name NASU de SUNA also sounds meaningful and makes me curious~.
Hop BroAnd that’s what makes it great. It carries the feeling of made in Nasu, for Nasu, so its local identity really stands out. The fact that multiple brewery logos are lined up on the flyer also gives it a strong, all-in-one prefectural beer vibe.
MugiWow, so it’s a festival of tastings! If I can see so many breweries at once, even a beginner like me will get excited!
Hop BroExactly. The point is that you can enjoy flavors you usually encounter in Nasushiobara right in Utsunomiya. It’s definitely the kind of event that makes you want to go after work.
MugiTotally! If you can toast right by the station, that’s the best, and since it runs through the 19th, it’s easy to fit into plans. I want to clear out some room in my stomach starting today!
