North Island Beer to hold a family-focused thank-you event at EBRI in Ebetsu on August 16
North Island Beer will hold its North Island Beer Thanksgiving Festival on August 16 at EBRI in Ebetsu, Hokkaido. In its Instagram post, the brewery highlights free kids' fair games, a sticker-hunt activity, and advance tickets now on sale.
Hop BroI want to talk about the North Island Beer Appreciation Festival today. On August 16, they are holding a family-friendly event at EBRI in Ebetsu.
MugiWhat! A beer appreciation festival where kids get to be the stars too? That is a seriously strong family outing plan!
Hop BroThat is the good part. They are running a free kids fair with ring toss and yo-yo fishing. There are candy prizes too, though they end when supplies run out.
MugiNo way, free to play is great! But a beer event with yo-yo fishing means summer fun is piling up at full speed!
Hop BroAnd inside the building they also have Find Beaty. You look for Beaty stickers around EBRI, then talk to a nearby staff member to get a stamp.
MugiWhat is that! So it is a walk-around event? Is Beaty a fairy, a mascot, or one of the imaginary friends living in your beer brain?
Hop BroNot the last one. It is a circulation-style activity, meaning the fun comes from moving around the venue. In plain terms, you search, collect, and win a prize, and five stamps clears it.
MugiYou suddenly went technical on me! But five stamps for a prize I understand instantly. Kids are absolutely going to sprint for that!
Hop BroAlso, this one is not about one featured beer so much as a thank-you festival from North Island Beer, which has been brewing in Ebetsu since 2003. They are known for five core beers plus limited and seasonal releases.
MugiWow, a community-rooted brewery doing something for families is just nice. It makes me feel like I would end up loving the whole town, not just the beer!
Hop BroThe venue is five minutes from Nopporo Station at EBRI, running Sunday, August 16, 2026 from 11:00 to 18:00. Advance tickets are available from the Instagram profile link or QR code, and paper tickets are sold at the Ebetsu brewery, Beer Bar North Island, COCOMOCA, and EBRI.
MugiEasy to reach, fun for kids, and exciting for the adults too... this is exactly the kind of thing that makes families want to go!
Hop BroExactly. You picture the kids fair, the stamp hunt, and then finally a North Island pint at the end. I already want a drink.
MugiSame here! I can already see us raising a glass at EBRI. August 16 is suddenly looking very serious!
North Island Beer, a craft brewery that has been brewing in Ebetsu, Hokkaido since 2003, is set to host a family-oriented thank-you event. The venue is EBRI at 3-3 Higashinohoro-cho, Ebetsu, and the event will run on Sunday, August 16, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. It is also a convenient location, about a five-minute walk from JR Nopporo Station.
Free activities for children
According to the brewery's Instagram post, the event is designed as a festival that families can enjoy together. A free kids' fair area will feature ring toss and yo-yo fishing, with prizes and yo-yos available while supplies last.
A stamp rally inside the venue
Another highlight is the "Find Beer-ti!" game. Visitors can look for Beer-ti stickers posted around the EBRI building, then speak to nearby North Island Beer staff to receive a stamp. Collecting five stamps earns a prize, and stamp cards will be distributed at the kids' fair corner.
A local event from an Ebetsu brewery
North Island Beer is known for its core lineup as well as limited and seasonal releases. The brewery also uses local ingredients in some of its beers, reinforcing its ties to the community in Ebetsu. This festival follows that same approach: it is a beer-related event, but one built around family participation rather than beer alone.
Advance tickets are available through the link in the Instagram profile or via the QR code in the post. Paper tickets are also being sold at the Ebetsu brewery, Beer Bar North Island, Cocomocha, and EBRI.
