A three-day celebration for Shonan Beer
Kumazawa Shuzo in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, will host its annual Oktoberfest from October 10 through 12, 2026. This year marks the 30th anniversary of Shonan Beer, and the brewery plans to serve 25 different beers throughout the event.
The selection is expected to include both core and limited beers, representing almost the full range brewed by Kumazawa Shuzo during the year. Individual beer names have not been announced in the source post, but the event should offer an excellent opportunity to compare Shonan Beer’s styles and discover a personal favorite.
Explore the brewery grounds
The event will take place across the Kumazawa Shuzo site. The participating areas include the brewery’s restaurants, such as Ten-sei, Trattoria, and Mokichi Cafe, as well as the garden. Visitors can use the published venue map to move between beer service points, restaurants, and outdoor spaces.
A selection of Oktoberfest-only dishes is also planned, giving guests plenty of ways to pair the beers with food. The combination of a historic sake-brewery setting, greenery, and Shonan Beer makes the event feel more like a brewery visit than a conventional beer festival.
The event runs from 11:00 to 20:00 on October 10 and 11, and until 19:00 on October 12. Advance tickets are required; full-event tickets include food-and-drink vouchers and a commemorative glass.
