The Instagram post announces that “QUITANO NEIGHBOURS” will be held over two days, Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14, at Suburb THE YEAST in western Asahikawa. The lineup goes beyond craft beer to include coffee, food, vintage clothing, plants, art, music, and workshops, giving the event a neighborhood-market feel rather than a standard fair.

On the craft-beer side, the post names Yeasters, TAIHU BREWING, West Coast Brewing, and 0Z among the exhibitors. One of the photos also shows Matsumoto Brewery’s `MATSUMOTO Castle Stout`, which hints at a darker beer-and-dessert pairing. For beer lovers, the appeal is not only the names on the list, but how each brewery’s character fits into the same space.

Freehouse‐THE YEAST in Asahikawa’s 6-jō-dōri district is a beer pub with domestic and international draft beers. It’s a place where you can grab a quick standing drink or settle in upstairs and compare different pours. Taken together, the city’s beer venues and this event point to a lively early-summer craft-beer scene in Asahikawa.
