Hop BroToday we're talking about Brewery Open Day 2026. COEDO Brewery is opening up the COEDO Craft Beer Brewery in Higashimatsuyama, Saitama Prefecture on April 4, and admission is free.
MugiWait, you can get into the brewery for free!? That's basically a field trip for beer lovers!
Hop BroExactly. And at the venue you can drink six standard beers and limited-edition beers, so you can compare COEDO's familiar lineup with a one-day-only pour.
MugiSix standard beers? What is that, six kinds? That's an overwhelming number of choices!
Hop BroIf you're torn, it's best to start light. The event also includes a 30-minute brewery tour, where a brewer will guide you through the brewing process.
MugiWait, you can see the tanks on the tour!? Just seeing equipment that's usually off-limits would be enough to get me excited!
Hop BroThat's right. And no reservation is needed; just sign up at the reception desk. It runs four times starting at 12:30 p.m., so you can split your drinking time and your tour time.
MugiI see. But what happens if rain is forecast? I usually picture drinking outside during cherry blossom season, but this one is being held inside the brewery.
Hop BroThat's the key point this time: you can enjoy it regardless of the weather. And since snacks and food can be brought in, it's great that you can bring your favorite bites along.
MugiThat's amazing! Then I'm the type who tours first and drinks second, and you, Hop, are the type who drinks while explaining things. Now I'm already looking forward to a spring pour!
Hop BroThat's the plan. If we can raise a glass in Higashimatsuyama and taste the story behind COEDO too, that would be perfect.
MugiYeah, this is totally the kind of article that makes you want to drink! I can't wait for April 4!

Access is available by private car, and a community bus from the west exit of Tobu Tojo Line's Higashimatsuyama Station is also provided.
