Hop BroThis Kama to Taru Harvest Festival is the kind of event every beer fan should circle on the calendar.
MugiWhat? It is not just Kamakura Beer—there will be Shonan makers together? I can already sense a tasting mission!
Hop BroIt takes place at Gate Square on the first floor of Terrace Mall Shonan, September 26 and 27, from 11 a.m. to 6 p.m. both days.
MugiWow! With Barbaric WORKS, MIURA brewery, and Yokosuka Beer there, I have a serious where to start dilemma!
Hop BroKamakura Beer earned its brewing license in 1998, making it a brewery born in Kamakura. Its staples include Moon Alt, Star Pale Ale, and Flower Brown.
MugiWhat is an Alt? Is it beer for high places? Tell me the truth about Alt, Hop Bro!
Hop BroClose, but it is not about altitude! Alt is a German beer style that can be crisp while showing toasty malt character—basically, a pleasant malty flavor.
MugiGot it! Moon, Star, and Flower are such lovely names. I want a Kamakura Beer constellation under the night sky!
Hop BroFor a seaside mood, watch for ROUTE134 Beer: it is an IPA with citrusy hop aroma, a clean finish, and crisp bitterness.
MugiSo IPA is not only bitter! With citrusy aroma, it sounds like you can drink the feeling of a Shonan drive!
Hop BroCraft gin and whisky distilleries are expected too. The festival's real strength is that you can taste spirits as well as beer.
MugiWait, my drink list is getting huge! What about glasses? Two hands are not enough!
Hop BroYou need either the original tumbler or a rented event tumbler to order drinks. Advance sets include a 440 ml tumbler and three tickets, and remember: cashless payment only.
MugiAll right, I will set up my payment and check the day-of lineup! Let’s toast in Shonan, Hop Bro!
Hop BroAbsolutely! From Kamakura Beer to new discoveries, let’s enjoy the makers’ stories and head to the harvest festival!
MugiMy toast is fully rehearsed! I want a beer now!
A gathering of Shonan’s craft makers
The “Kama and Taru Harvest Festival Local Craft Spirits & Beer” will be held on September 26 and 27, 2026, at the Gate Square outdoor area on the first floor of Terrace Mall Shonan. The event is scheduled to run from 11:00 to 18:00 on both days. It may be canceled in severe weather, and drinks will be available only while supplies last.
Kamakura Beer will appear alongside breweries including Barbaric WORKS, MacKenDy BREWERY, MIURA brewery, Odawara Garage Brewing, Ken’s Brewery, Yokosuka Beer, Home Ground Hop, and YGGDRASIL BREWING. Distilleries and spirits makers such as Yokohama Gin Distillery, Atami Distillery, and SHIRAHAMA DISTILLERY are also scheduled to participate.
The festival’s appeal lies in its broad view of local craft alcohol. Visitors can compare beers, gin, whisky, and craft liqueurs while learning about the ingredients, techniques, and philosophies behind each producer. For beer fans, it offers an opportunity to explore Shonan’s brewing culture beyond a single brewery or beer style.
Kamakura-born beer at the festival
Based in Kamakura, Kanagawa, Kamakura Beer received its brewing license in 1998. The brewery presents its beers as a natural companion to Kamakura’s food culture, with core releases including “Tsuki,” an altbier; “Hoshi,” a pale ale; and “Hana,” a brown ale.
Its “ROUTE134 Beer” is an IPA inspired by the Shonan coastline, featuring a refreshing citrus hop aroma, a clean profile, and a crisp bitterness. The specific beers available at the festival will depend on the event-day lineup.
Drinks must be served in either a pre-purchased original tumbler or a rental tumbler available at the venue. Advance tickets include a 440ml tumbler and three drink tickets, while same-day options include a rental tumbler and drink tickets. Payments are cashless only, so visitors should check the ticket and payment arrangements before attending.
