Hop BroToday we're talking about VERTERE in Okutama and its 10th anniversary festival. It'll be held on the brewery grounds on April 18 and 19, 2026.
MugiWhat, a festival on the brewery grounds!? That's basically a straight-up dive into the beer production site!
Hop BroExactly. And with 20 taps lined up, you'll be able to drink everything from classics to new releases at once. It should be a bold lineup that feels very VERTERE.
MugiTwenty taps? You mean there are 20 faucets? With that many, I'd get totally lost choosing what to drink first!
Hop BroPretty much. A tap is the beer faucet, and here they'll also debut a venue-exclusive keg beer. Its name is 'Anniversary Fest Beer'—a special brew made just for the event.
MugiWow, I want to drink that! Anniversary Fest Beer already sounds super commemorative just from the name. I'm dying to know what it tastes like!
Hop BroAdvance tickets come with four 300 ml beer exchange vouchers and an original keychain, and advance sales start on March 11 at 19:00 and run until April 15 at 23:59. The ticket system really gives it festival vibes, doesn't it?
MugiWhat, it even comes with an original keychain? That's the kind of thing you can keep as a souvenir after drinking. That's unfair!
Hop BroThe food lineup is pretty great too, with charcoal-grilled BBQ ribs, tacos, burritos, gapao, hot dogs, and dumplings planned. There are so many beer sidekicks it's hard to choose.
MugiAnd admission is free, and it's a 20-minute walk from Okutama Station. Tasting VERTERE's 10 years in the middle of nature makes me want to go so badly!
Hop BroYeah, this is the kind of event that makes you want to raise a glass in Okutama. I'd go myself if I could slip away from the shop, so let's do some tasting together that day, Mugi.
