MugiWhat? Even though it's a music festival, beer is a headliner too?!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: the venues span GASBON METABOLISM at the center and then BASH BOX, WhERE is FAKE, HALENOBON ⚡︎ Cafe, and MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO. It's designed so you can loop through live music, art, flea markets, a market, and craft beer along the same route.
MugiWhat do you mean by route? Like walking through a maze?
Hop BroBasically, it's a path that makes it easy to hop from one spot to the next. Drink beer, listen to music, grab some food, and then have another glass - that's the flow they're creating.
MugiWhoa, that's awesome! So what's the beer lineup? Any limited releases?
Hop BroAs of the article, no specific beer names have been announced, and the styles are still a day-of surprise. But "Manchin Brewing / Manchin Liquor Store" is explicitly listed in the drinks category, and the craft beer experience is designed to pair with the local food culture.
MugiWhat? Not announcing the names actually makes it more exciting! That's the kind of moment where your heart rate jumps when you see the tap list!
Hop BroExactly. And because it's running alongside Manchin Bao and HALENOBON ⚡︎ Cafe, the pairings are strong. The key to this event is that you can wrap up "drink, eat, and listen" in one day against the backdrop of Hokuto's fields.
MugiSpring in Yamanashi like that is basically cheating... I want to watch the live sets with a glass in hand that day. Hop bro, let's do one more in prep!
Manchin Brewing (Yamanashi) announced on Instagram that it will hold the 2nd "Manchin Music Festival" as an "all-building spring festival" in collaboration with local businesses. The event will take place on Saturday, March 28, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. The venues are
GASBON METABOLISM / BASH BOX / WhERE is FAKE / HALENOBON ⚡︎ Cafe / MANGOSTEEN HOKUTO (31-1 Asao Shinden, Akeno-cho, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture).
The defining feature of this edition is that it goes beyond serving craft beer, creating a route where music, art, shopping, food, and drinks can all be enjoyed along the same flow. The post shows local businesses gathering amid Hokuto's rural landscapes, each bringing its own character to create a spring festival together.
On the day, YAKANZURU meets VJ mitchel, Naryu, Ettou, Asa Kawa Haruto and The Armens, Yuyake Shihasu & Suurabaazu, and Buddha Jane are scheduled to perform live. GASBON METABOLISM will handle the art, BASH BOX and WhERE is FAKE will run the flea markets, and the market will feature DRAGON COFFEE and others.
What beer fans should note is that Manchin Brewing / Manchin Liquor Store is explicitly listed in the "drinks" category. Based in Hokuto, Manchin Brewing is a brewery that has connected with the local food culture by spanning a brewery, liquor store, and diner. This time as well, it is moving in step with "Manchin Bao" and HALENOBON ⚡︎ Cafe in the same area, making craft beer part of the local food experience.
It looks like it will be a day to experience Yamanashi's spring in three dimensions, starting with a single glass of beer.
