Open Air Minatoyama Brewery in Hyogo Ward, Kobe, will take part in four events in April. Through open table at Higashi Yuenchi, Bakuen HYOGO 2026 in front of JR Hyogo Station, and craft beer festivals in Nagoya including NAGOBEER, the brewery will bring its beer to each venue.
Hop BroHey, Mug-chan, Open Air Minatoyama Brewery in Kobe is going to be pretty active in April.
MugiWait, what! Four event appearances? They're doing that much!
Hop BroThat's right. First is open table vol.04 on April 8, at Higashi Yuenchi Studio Terrace, where you can drink in the "usual" relaxed atmosphere.
MugiWhoa! A casual beer time you can just drop into sounds amazing.
Hop BroAnd on April 18 and 19, there's Bakuen HYOGO 2026 in front of JR Hyogo Station. They're fired up again this year for a local event, and there's even venue-exclusive beer.
MugiThe moment you hear "venue-exclusive," it gets serious! That's the kind of thing that leaves you with no reason not to go.
Hop BroOpen Air started as a brewery in the space that used to be an elementary school cafeteria kitchen, and its strength is making use of local water and ingredients.
MugiFrom a cafeteria kitchen to a beer brewery? That's such a wild idea! But what does it actually mean to make use of the water and ingredients?
Hop BroBasically, it means putting the character of the land into the flavor. That's why spring-like beer fits both Kobe and Nagoya.
MugiNagoya too!? They've got the Craft Beer Festival on April 25 and NAGOBEER on the 26th? That's awesome!
Hop BroExactly. Standing at the sales floor and serving beer directly is exciting, and by the end of it, it feels like you just want to raise a glass in both Kobe and Nagoya.
Open Air Minatoyama Brewery, located in Hyogo Ward, Kobe City, is a brewery that was reborn in April 2022 from a space that once served as the cafeteria kitchen of an elementary school. On its official website, the brewery says it makes beer that reflects the changing seasons while making use of local water and ingredients. Open Air announced on Instagram that it will take part in four events in April.
In the post, the first event introduced is "open table vol.04" on April 8. The venue is Higashi Yuenchi Studio Terrace. For Open Air, this will be "the usual open table," a place where people can drop in casually and enjoy craft beer.
Next, on April 18 and 19, the brewery will participate in "Bakuen HYOGO 2026" held in front of JR Hyogo Station. The post says the brewery is fully committed again this year to a local event and reveals that venue-exclusive beer will also be available. Advance tickets can be purchased at the Motomachi shop and at open table, showing the brewery's determination to strongly support local events close to home.
Then on April 25, it will head to "Nagoya Takashimaya Craft Beer Festival" at Nagoya Takashimaya Basement Floor 2, Western and Japanese Sake Section. This is an event where Open Air's beer has been served every year, and this year the brewery will participate by staffing the sales floor. It shows a stance of stepping outside the brewery and serving beer directly at the venue.
At the end of the month, on April 26, the brewery will also participate in "NAGOBEER". The venue is TV Tohiroba. Following last year's appearance, the post calls on people to come from both the Kansai and Kanto areas, noting that the timing falls in the first half of the Golden Week holiday period.
As the season makes going out more pleasant, Open Air Minatoyama Brewery will bring its beer to venues in Kobe and Nagoya. April looks set to be a month filled with new encounters and long-awaited reunions.
