Hop BroKofu is heating up this weekend, and Persona brewery booth info is here! On March 7, they'll bring a tap car to the Kofu Hakkou Marche at Maizuru Castle Park Free Plaza.
MugiWhoa! Being able to drink in the park is amazing. So Kofu Hakkou Marche is a festival for fermented foods?
Hop BroExactly. This year's highlight is Kai Mulberry Ale, a limited-edition brew made in collaboration with the Kai City Chamber of Commerce.
MugiWhat is that? Does the pale purple appearance mean it's sweet like juice?
Hop BroIt's not a syrupy kind of beer. It's a balanced brew that layers the soft character of wheat malt with the mulberry's gentle tartness and berry-like astringency.
MugiWait, what's that tannin feel you mentioned? Suddenly it's a science class!
Hop BroThe astringency is that sharp tea-like sensation, and the nuance that tightens the mouth rounds out the aftertaste and makes it easy to drink thanks to the fine foam.
MugiHuh! And they're not just serving the limited edition, IPA is also planned, so it's easy to go with friends who like different styles!
Hop BroYeah, from the fruity mulberry ale to the bitter IPA, that wide-ranging lineup is Persona brewery's strength.
MugiThat drink outdoors in spring is unfair... Hearing that even the foam sounds delicious is making my throat work already!
Hop BroIt's settled then. Let's toast at Maizuru Castle Park on March 7 and check out this made to make you want to drink right now finish on site!
Persona brewery, located on Asahi-dori Shopping Street in Kofu, announced in a March 5, 2026 post that it will appear at a weekend event. The venue is Maizuru Castle Park Free Plaza, and it will be held on March 7. The shop will again take part in the "Kofu Hakkou Marche" this year and plans to welcome visitors with its tap car.
The highlight this time is "Kai Mulberry Ale", finished in collaboration with the Kai City Chamber of Commerce. In the post, it is introduced as a glass that layers mulberries grown in Kai, a pale purple appearance, the soft sweetness derived from wheat malt, the fruit's gentle tartness, and the delicate astringency from berries. It emphasizes a smooth drinkability that opens up alongside fine foam, making it well suited to early-spring outdoor events.
It also mentions serving IPA, and a lineup with the broad range that is typical of the shop can be expected. Just before this, the in-house project "Raaperu" is said to have also been a success, and the operation style of creating a place by moving between food and craft beer is another strength of Persona brewery. As a brewpub attached to a brewery, this looks like an appearance that showcases both brewing with local ingredients and the ability to serve at event sites.
