Yamanashi’s Manchin Brewing announced that it will hold the “2nd Manchin Music Festival ~Spring Festival Across the Entire Venue~” on March 28, 2026.

Hop BroWe’ve got a spring outing on the books! Manchin Brewing in Yamanashi is holding the “2nd Manchin Music Festival ~Spring Festival Across the Entire Venue~” in Hokuto on Saturday, March 28, 2026.
MugiWait, even though it’s called a music festival, craft beer is a main act too?!
Hop BroOf course. The alcohol section is explicitly listed as “Manchin Brewing / Manchin Liquor Store.” The venues also span the whole area: GASBON METABOLISM, BASH BOX, WhERE is FAKE, HALENOBON Cafe, and MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO.
MugiWhoa! Words like “spans the whole area” and “roaming festival” sound professional, but now it’s suddenly hard!
Hop BroIn short, it means it’s not fixed in one place, but something you enjoy by walking around town and hopping from spot to spot. Compared with an event that ends at the taproom, the big draw is that you can take in music, art, and food all at once.
MugiSo what beers are there? Any styles out yet, like IPA or sour?
Hop BroAt the time of this announcement, no specific beer names have been revealed. Styles and brands haven’t been specified yet either; it just says you can enjoy drinks from “Manchin Brewing / Manchin Liquor Store.” In other words, it’s the kind of event where the fun is in digging into the lineup on the day!
MugiWow! If there’s live music from YAKANZURU meets VJ mitchel and food from Manchin Bao and HALENOBON Cafe, then my stomach, ears, and throat are all going to be busy at once!
Hop BroThe event runs from 11:00 to 20:00, admission is 2,000 yen, and the location is 31-1 Asao-Shinden, Akeno-cho, Hokuto City. Go for the beer and before you know it, you’ve spent the whole day soaking in culture. That’s the ideal setup.
MugiI’m already thirsty just imagining it! On the day, let’s toast at the venue; for now, I’m in the mood to crack open a craft beer and do some prep!
On March 8, 2026 at 18:27, Manchin Brewing (Yamanashi) announced on Instagram a spring joint event that spans multiple local hubs: the “Manchin Music Festival.” The venues are spread across several spots in Akeno-cho, Hokuto City, and include MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO, which is also affiliated with the brewery.

The alcohol section is explicitly labeled “Manchin Brewing / Manchin Liquor Store.”
Based in Yamanashi, Manchin Brewing has been building a place that includes not only beer, but also liquor-store and food-related functions. Rather than a standalone tap event, this project has a strong “roaming festival” feel, where Hokuto’s local players bring their own character to the table. For beer fans, too, it is the kind of spring excursion worth watching, since it offers a chance to experience the brewery’s alcohol together with music, art, and food all at once.
