MugiWow! A 29th anniversary appreciation festival means they've been loved for that long!? And it sounds so fun that you can celebrate on site!
Hop BroExactly. The highlight is the special beer making its first tap appearance. The regular draft beers will also be there, so the comparison tasting should be a lot of fun.
MugiWhat! Hearing that they'll be offering multiple draft beers makes me excited, but is it okay to drink a lot?
Hop BroOf course it's the kind of thing you can enjoy. It's set up so you exchange one drink at a time with a book of five tickets, so it's easy to try a variety in small amounts.
MugiOhhh! And with a 7-ounce plastic cup, it sounds like you can hop around without overdoing it. Are there snacks too?
Hop BroThere are. They even have special fried chicken and original merchandise, so it's basically a festival. Drink, eat, and shop - the three essentials.
MugiWait, Yatsugatake Brewery is in Moeginomura, Kiyosato, right? Somehow it sounds delicious just because of the mountain air!
Hop BroThat feeling is pretty much right. They've been brewing since 1997, and they use a traditional method called decoction brewing that brings out the flavor of malt.
MugiDecoction? The name already sounds serious! So when you say it brings out the flavor of malt, you mean it has a solid richness?
Hop BroExactly. In short, they're good at making full-bodied lagers. You'd want to raise a glass to the anniversary festival with the flagship "Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown" in hand.
MugiI can't handle it anymore, there are too many only-now pleasures! If there's fried chicken, Touchdown, and even a special beer, I want to go drink right away!
Hop BroRight? Celebrating the anniversary on site is the best. At this point, we should go too and go all out with the first round.
Yatsugatake Brewery will hold an appreciation festival to mark its 29th anniversary on June 6, 2026. The venue will be in front of ROCK at Moeginomura in Hokuto, Yamanashi Prefecture, and on the day the brewery will offer multiple craft beers on draft, including a special beer making its first tap appearance.
According to the event page, food such as special fried chicken and sales of original merchandise are also planned at the venue. Rather than an admission-type event, it is designed as one where people drink, eat, and celebrate the anniversary. Beer will be exchanged for tickets in books of five, with each ticket good for a 7-ounce plastic cup, making it easy to sample a variety of beers in small amounts.
Yatsugatake Brewery is a brewery that began brewing in 1997 at Moeginomura in Kiyosato, and has used the German traditional method known as decoction since the brewery was established. Centered on making beer that fully draws out the flavor of malt, it produces the flagship Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown. Including the setting of Kiyosato at an elevation of 1,230 meters, it is a brewery with a strength in full-bodied lagers that pair well with mountain air.
The anniversary festival is also a place that symbolizes that history. Rooted in the tourist hub of Moeginomura, the accumulation of time as an event tied to local food and scenery is reflected in this 29th anniversary milestone. The first tapping of the special beer and sales of limited goods are something to pay attention to as "only now" pleasures that differ from the everyday staple beers.
