And Beer Katsunuma Brewery announced in an Instagram post dated February 28, 2026, "Shionoyama Beer Fest confirmed for Saturday, 4/11". At the time of the post, details beyond the title were limited, but the very fact that a new beer event is being launched in springtime Yamanashi is news craft beer fans won't want to miss.

And Beer began in Koenji, Tokyo, in 2017 and expanded its brewing base to Katsunuma in 2021. Then in 2025, it consolidated brewing operations at Osate, Katsunuma-cho, Koshu City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and now continues brewing in an environment surrounded by vineyards and wineries. Against this backdrop, its beers are characterized by a design that moves back and forth between "urban sensibility" and "regional ingredients."

In fact, one of the brewery's strengths is its approach of weaving local climate and stories into beer, as seen in beers like "Shionoyama Gose," which bears the name of Katsunuma. This year's "Shionoyama Beer Fest" is also likely to be more than just a tasting event; it may become a place where visitors can experience the relationship between the land and the brewer.

Also, on April 11, information was released about the holding of "Shionoyama Wine Fest 2026" in the same area (at the Disaster Prevention Plaza "Shiomusubi" in front of Koshu City Hall), so it looks set to be a day that lets people feel the richness of Katsunuma's brewing culture.
