ozigi Brewing Hakodate Brewery to Pour at Atsuma’s 54th Country Festival
ozigi brewing Hakodate Brewery will take part in the 54th Atsuma Country Festival on June 27-28. The booth is set to serve draft pours of Shiro Sudachi, IPA, and Classic Saison, bringing Hakodate-brewed beer to the festival grounds.
Hop BroThis weekend, the 54th Atsuma Inaka Festival is getting a booth from ozigi brewing Hakodate Bakushu Brewery. On June 27 and 28, you can drink Hakodate-born craft beer right in Atsuma.
MugiWait, beer from Hakodate is showing up at a festival in Atsuma? That sounds like an instant win with grilled festival food in one hand!
Hop BroExactly. ozigi brewing Hakodate Bakushu Brewery is great because it serves fresh beer made in a renovated old warehouse space. It has that retro port-town feel, but the beer is super fresh.
MugiWhoa, even the port-town atmosphere sounds like part of the pairing. I might be ready for a drink before the first sip just from the scenery!
Hop BroThe big draw this time is a three-beer lineup on tap. White Sudachi, IPA, and Classic Saison, and each one has a totally different personality.
MugiHold on, Classic Saison is what exactly? It sounds like the name of a fancy orchestra conductor and now I feel underdressed!
Hop BroSaison is basically a food-friendly style. It drinks light and smooth, so it does not fight the festival food, it lifts it up.
MugiOkay, got it! Then what about IPA? Whenever people say hop aroma, my brain just freezes and goes, "sounds intense!"
Hop BroWith IPA, the key is the firm bitterness and how boldly the aroma pops. White Sudachi, on the other hand, is a fruit ale with sudachi from Tokushima, and it keeps the bitterness low and the freshness high.
MugiWhat is this perfect plan? Start with the bright White Sudachi, level up with the IPA, then let the saison carry the food run. That sounds way too good!
MugiAnd there is a fireworks show on the 27th pre-festival, right? At Omote-machi Park too? Three draft beers at a festival sounds very serious to me. Add grassland-grilled food and stage events, and I am not leaving.
Hop BroThat route is perfect. We toast with White Sudachi first, then work through the IPA and Classic Saison. Drinking a Hakodate beer in the middle of summer in Atsuma? That is reason enough to go.
ozigi brewing Hakodate Brewery is scheduled to appear at the 54th Atsuma Country Festival, held on June 27 and 28 at Omachi Park in Atsuma, Hokkaido. The official town page says the event includes a fireworks display on the evening of June 27, alongside the festival’s usual summer attractions.
Based in Hakodate’s Suehiro district, ozigi brewing operates as a brewery-pub in a renovated old warehouse. The setting gives the place a distinctly retro feel, while the on-site brewery keeps the beer fresh and close to the source. It is the kind of brewery where the setting and the beer experience naturally reinforce each other.
At the festival booth, the brewery plans to pour Shiro Sudachi, IPA, and Classic Saison on tap. Shiro Sudachi is a sudachi-based fruit beer known for its restrained bitterness and bright aroma. IPA brings a more hop-forward profile with stronger bitterness, while Classic Saison adds a lighter, food-friendly option to the lineup. The three beers should offer a clear range for visitors looking to pair local festival food with different brewing styles.
