Hop BroMugi-chan, Gifu's Minokamo Beer announced the LIVE & DJ lineup for the March 14 festival "BEER ROAD MINOKAMO"!
MugiWhoa! So this beer festival is seriously music-heavy too?!
Hop BroExactly. LIVE is Keiju, and the DJs are SLEEPY DREAD, 4U, AKIRA, KZY, KYORO, and RIKU. For a craft beer event, it's pretty rare to put the music program front and center.
MugiThat's amazing! When is it, and where can I drink?
Hop BroSaturday, March 14, 2026, from 11:00 to 19:00, at the South Exit Station Square "ekipa" in front of Mino-ota Station. It's right by the station, so access is strong, and the setup lets you compare beers from breweries inside and outside the prefecture.
MugiThat "comparison setup" sounds like a brewing strategy meeting all of a sudden! And what does "circulation" mean? I hear that a lot!
Hop BroCirculation means a flow that lets people naturally walk around the venue and town and enjoy a variety of things. In other words, it creates a path like "have a drink, catch a live show, then head to another brewery."
MugiOhhh! Have they announced the beer names yet?
Hop BroThe individual beer names haven't been announced in this article. But the brewery is Minokamo Beer, and the style is a "locally rooted craft beer festival." Their focus on brewing with local ingredients and giving back to the community is a key part of the appeal.
MugiHype from the music, seriously tasty craft beer... that's a total win! Hop-nii, let's definitely have our first drink together that day!
Hop BroDeal. Toasting while riding on pleasant music is, honestly, the ideal weekend.
