Event Overview


And Beer, the brewpub in Koenji, Suginami, Tokyo, will hold the “Shionoyama Beer Fest” in Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, on Saturday, April 11. The venue is Shiomusubi Plaza in front of Koshu City Hall, the event runs from 10:00 to 17:00, and admission is free.

What Kind of Beer Can You Drink?


The announcement describes it as a “small beer fest” bringing together breweries in Koshu City and a craft gin distillery. Specific labels have not been announced yet, but since makers from the Yamanashi/Koshu area will be gathered, it should be an event where you can compare locally brewed draft beer and enjoy flavors unique to the region. In addition to beer, craft gin will also be available, which makes the pairing options especially broad.

And Beer’s Character


And Beer is a brewpub located in Koenji, Suginami Ward, Tokyo. Because the shop’s appeal lies in the pleasure of drinking leisurely inside the venue and the close distance to the people who make the beer, this event seems likely to have a calm, community-rooted atmosphere rather than the scale of a major festival. It feels like the kind of gathering where you can drop by on a day off and enjoy sampling the beers that catch your eye, little by little.

It will be worth paying attention to what kind of beer the local breweries bring out in the spring air of Koshu City.
