And Beer to Exhibit at the Seiseki Spring Beer Festival, as 19 Breweries Along the Keio Line Gather
And Beer will exhibit at the "Seiseki Spring Beer Festival" held at Keio Seiseki Sakuragaoka Shopping Center from April 23 to 26. The annual event brings together breweries along the Keio Line, and attention is also drawn to the company's beer-making that emphasizes seasonality.
Hop BroThis time, it's about the Seiseki Spring Beer Festival, where And Beer will be setting up a booth. It will be held from April 23 to 26, 2026, on the rooftop of Keio Seiseki Sakuragaoka Shopping Center.
MugiWait, beer on a rooftop!? And 19 breweries along the Keio Line gathering there makes it feel like a full-on festival!
Hop BroExactly, and this is the seventh year it's been held. It's a pretty much all-in-one Keio Line culture experience where you can compare local breweries side by side.
MugiA tasting ticket? What's a shared coupon booklet? Five regular beers sounds like a dream ticket for beer lovers!
Hop BroThey'll be sold in limited quantities at the venue's information booth. Since it lets you enjoy five beers at once, it's basically an affordable tasting pass if you're planning to hop around.
MugiI've heard the name And Beer, but what kind of brewery is it? Katsunuma, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture already sounds delicious!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part. They originally started in Koenji, Tokyo, in 2017, and now they've consolidated brewing in Katsunuma. Their specialty is a winery-like approach that makes use of the character of the land.
MugiThe character of a winery comes through in beer too!? It suddenly feels like a grapes-and-beer two-way specialty and now I'm curious!
Hop BroIn practice, they often incorporate local ingredients like lemons from Odawara, hiba from Hinohara Village, and grapes and peaches from Katsunuma. So when you drink it, it's not just beer - it carries the scent of the land.
MugiBut now it sounds technical! Barrel aging seems really hard, but can ordinary people enjoy it too?
Hop BroOf course. Barrel aging like And Beer's ROUND TRIP series brings out barrel aromas and depth, so it's easy to appreciate when you drink it as a slightly special pour.
MugiI get it - instead of focusing on the technical side, just enjoy the aroma and aftertaste. If you drink it outdoors in spring, that's basically a guaranteed win!
Hop BroExactly. With 19 breweries lined up, And Beer's individuality is bound to stand out, and it's the kind of event that makes you want to toast on a spring rooftop.
MugiAll right, I want to go! I want to get lost in the rabbit hole of tasting beers together with the Keio Line atmosphere!

Background of And Beer
And Beer is a brewery based in Katsunuma, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture. It started in Koenji, Tokyo, in 2017 and has since consolidated its brewing operations in Katsunuma. The company continues to make beer with an eye toward seasonality and ingredient pairing, including craft beers that reflect the character of a winery region and the barrel-aged "ROUND TRIP" series.
Known for not leaning too heavily on standard offerings, the company also takes on new beers almost every week. It collaborates frequently using local ingredients such as lemons from Odawara, hiba from Hinohara Village, and grapes and peaches from Katsunuma, making it one of the breweries whose individuality comes through especially well at events.
Highlights
The biggest appeal of this event is the chance to sample and compare breweries along the Keio Line all at once. With breweries like And Beer that value ties to local climate and ingredients, the lineup goes beyond a simple tasting and lets visitors savor the backgrounds of each maker as well.
As an outdoor spring event, it should also be easy to enjoy, and for beer lovers it seems likely to become an opportunity to experience the craft beer culture along the Keio Line all in one place.
