Hop BroBig news! Matsumoto Brewery is holding “Brewery Festival 2025” at Nomizo Brewery on June 1 from 11:00 to 17:00!
MugiWait, a festival? That’s like a theme park for beer lovers! What kind of beers can you drink?
Hop BroAlong with the regular and seasonal beers, the star of the show is the “BrewDog Roppongi Collaboration IPA”! It’s an IPA, so the lineup is all about enjoying bold hop aroma and bitterness.
MugiEvery time I hear IPA, I’m like, “Eye-pah?” Is that the one that strikes your tongue like lightning?!
Hop BroNot quite lightning, but it comes in with a burst of citrusy aroma and finishes with a crisp bitterness. And when you pair it with food, it really transforms. There’ll be sanzokuyaki, sausages, charcoal-grilled pasture-raised pork, hamburgers, takoyaki, yakisoba, and even crepes!
MugiWhoa! My stomach is already starting the festival! That’s the kind of place where you can loop endlessly from salty food to beer to sweet crepes!
Hop BroThe brewery tour by reservation is another strong point. Registration starts at 11:00 on the day, with sign-ups accepted on site. There are three sessions at 13:00, 14:00, and 15:00, each limited to 20 people, and the 1,000-yen participation fee includes two souvenir beers!
MugiWhat is that! So it basically means you can learn, drink, and take beer home? That value is incredible! But is it hard to get there?
Hop BroIt’s about a 10-minute walk from Nomizoguchi on the Gurutto Matsumoto Bus Airport-Imai Line. There’s also a free shuttle, but it requires advance reservation. Since there’s no parking or bicycle parking at the venue, public transportation is the way to go. Also, the Nakamachi and Honmachi shops will be closed that day, and the Ekimae shop will be open from 10:00 to 14:00.
MugiPerfectly organized! A beer brewed by Matsumoto Brewery, founded in 2016, and made with local water and ingredients, available to enjoy on site. June 1, we are absolutely going to drink there!
