MugiWait, beer at a base festival? And free admission too? That sounds like an easy one to go to!
Hop BroIt runs for May 16-17, from 9:00 to 20:00, and the booth is number 165.
MugiHaving a booth number is unexpectedly helpful! But Friendship Festival Ale sounds like a name that’s trying a little hard, doesn’t it?
Hop BroExactly. The other one is Air Force Lager, so it’s an ale-and-lager double feature.
MugiWait, what’s the difference between ale and lager? I only get that the names sound cool!
Hop BroRoughly speaking, ales tend to be more aromatic, while lagers usually lean toward a cleaner, easier-drinking style.
MugiI see, so a side-by-side tasting sounds fun! And with Dori Locos too, they really know how to feed a festival crowd!
Hop BroPlus, Isana Brewing is a Factory & Laboratory that uses Akishima's deep underground water.
MugiA beer at the base sounds great, and a beer at the Akishima shop sounds great too... now I just want to drink both!

The Akishima Brewery's Character
Isana Brewing has operated as a brewery and roastery in Akishima since 2018. On its official website, it describes itself as a Factory & Laboratory that works with beer and coffee while using deep underground water from Akishima, and has been serving its own craft beer. Even in this booth appearance, that experimental spirit comes through clearly in the event lineup.
The shop says it will continue normal business, so even those who cannot make it to the venue can enjoy a familiar drink at the Akishima location. A beer enjoyed on the runway at Yokota Air Base, and a beer enjoyed at the Akishima shop. Both reflect Isana Brewing's playful spirit.
