Michinoku Fukushimaji Beer to Set Up a Booth for Three Days at Beer Fes Fukushima 2026, with Limited-Edition Beer Also Offered
The craft brewery Michinoku Fukushimaji Beer, based in Fukushima City, will set up a booth at Beer Fes Fukushima 2026, held at Machinaka Hiroba in Fukushima City from May 29 to 31. In addition to its regular offerings, limited-edition beers will also be available.
Hop BroMugi-chan, Beer Fes Fukushima 2026 is being held in Fukushima City. The fact that Michinoku Fukushimaji Beer will have a booth there for three days is pretty exciting.
MugiWait, and admission is free!? That's basically reason enough to go!
Hop BroThe venue is Machinaka Hiroba in Fukushima City, and it's running from May 29 to 31. Since it starts at 3 p.m. on the first day, a lot of people will probably stop by after work.
MugiDrinking on a weekday is the best! By the way, Michinoku Fukushimaji Beer is a family-run brewery, right?
Hop BroExactly. They brew in Annagarden on the outskirts of Fukushima City, and the key is that they use snowmelt water from the Azuma mountain range.
MugiDoes snowmelt water really make that much of a difference? Hearing that it changes the mouthfeel suddenly makes this sound so technical!
Hop BroThat's what makes it interesting. They also use European barley and pay close attention to hand-brewing and aging, so the flavor has real backbone.
MugiWow! And they're also famous for fruit beer made with ingredients from Fukushima, right?
Hop BroThat's right. This time they’ll have limited-edition beers in addition to the regular lineup, so you can compare the usual pint with the one just for the event.
MugiJust hearing that makes my mouth water! I'm so focused on wanting to do a tasting comparison, and you totally look like you're going with me too, Hop-nii!

A Brewery Nurtured in Fukushima City
Michinoku Fukushimaji Beer is a family-run craft brewery based in Fukushima City. It continues brewing at Annagarden, a hill area on the outskirts of Fukushima City, using snowmelt water from the Azuma mountain range. Its use of European barley and its commitment to hand-brewing and aging are also defining features.
The brewery is also known for products that make use of local ingredients, and in particular its fruit beers made with Fukushima fruit are one of its signature attractions.
