Brewery Background
GORA Brewery began in 2017 in Gora, Hakone. The craft brewery has continued to brew and develop dishes that make use of Hakone water and local ingredients, and in 2023 it opened a public house equipped with brewing facilities. Taking advantage of its location in a tourist area, it has been building its presence as a base where visitors can experience local craft beer culture.
This beer garden, themed around the "start of spring," fits well with that context. It is worth watching as an opportunity to sample a diverse lineup outdoors during the season when Hakone's air begins to soften.
