Anniversary announcement


North Island Beer will hold "NORTH ISLAND BEER 17 ANNIVERSARY" on August 16 at EBRI, located at 3-3 Higashinopporo-cho, Ebetsu, Hokkaido. Related information says the event will feature an outdoor stage, with singer Michi scheduled to perform for about 30 minutes from 1:00 p.m. in a piano-vocal set.

A brewery rooted in Ebetsu


North Island Beer has been brewing craft beer in Ebetsu since 2003. On its official site, the brand says it was started by brewers who trained in Canada, and that it continues to make beer using Ebetsu's air, water, and local ingredients. Alongside its five regular beers, it also releases seasonal and limited-batch beers.

A milestone event


Anniversary festivals like this are a way for breweries to share their progress with fans. This celebration combines beer and live music, and choosing EBRI as the venue also highlights the brewery's ties to the local community in Ebetsu. For craft beer fans, it should be a useful snapshot of where the brand stands now.
