Hop BroVERTERE, the Beer Cafe Vertere in Okutama, just announced its 10th anniversary fest! It’s called "VERTERE Anniversary Festival -10th Anniversary-" and will be held on April 18 and 19, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
MugiWhoa, 10 years is huge! Where is it being held? Does it cost money to get in?
Hop BroIt’s at VERTERE’s brewery grounds in Okutama, Hikawa 1099-6. Admission is free, and beer is ticket-based. Advance tickets, with a bonus perk included, are scheduled to go on sale on March 11, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
MugiOhhh, so you can get in for free and taste different beers inside! What can you drink there?
Hop BroThe big draw is 20 taps! They’ll have everything from core beers to new releases, plus a venue-exclusive cask called "Anniversary Fest Beer." Limited casks like that are the kind of thing you really want to try on the spot.
MugiA limited cask? What even is that? And 20 taps means 20 beer faucets, right!?
Hop BroYep, that’s basically right. A tap is the outlet used to pour beer, and a cask is the vessel used to mature and serve it. A venue-exclusive cask means a special beer brewed specifically for that event.
MugiWhat, that’s amazing! It’s basically the beer version of event-only merch! Do they say what style it is? IPA or something?
Hop BroThe article only names it as "Anniversary Fest Beer," so the specific style hasn’t been revealed. That makes it something to look forward to on the day. And with dumplings, BBQ, tacos, sandwiches, coffee, and local vegetables too, it’s basically a pairing paradise.
MugiIt sounds like two days where you can taste everything VERTERE is right now in springtime Okutama. Any caveats?
Hop BroThere seems to be a year-label inconsistency in the announcement, so it’s safest to check the latest ticket page and official info before going. If you’re fully prepared, you’ll want to take on the challenge of hitting all 20 taps.
MugiAbsolutely! I want to toast with the limited Anniversary Fest Beer! I’m already in festival mode thirst-wise!
VERTERE, which has been steadily raising its profile in Tokyo's craft beer scene, has announced the "VERTERE Anniversary Festival -10th Anniversary-" as a milestone celebrating 10 years since brewing began. In its Instagram post, the brewery says the event will be held on Saturday, April 18, and Sunday, April 19, 2026, from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
The venue is VERTERE's brewery grounds in Okutama (1099-6 Hikawa, Okutama-machi, Nishitama-gun, Tokyo). Admission is free, and beer will be sold by ticket. Advance tickets, which include a bonus gift, are scheduled to go on sale on Wednesday, March 11, 2026, at 7:00 p.m.
The highlight this time is 20 taps ranging from regular offerings to new releases, plus Anniversary Fest Beer, a cask beer brewed exclusively for the festival. Food and market stalls are also planned, with dumplings, BBQ, tacos, sandwiches, coffee, and local vegetables on offer, making it an event designed to be enjoyed alongside the beer.
Beer Cafe Vertere is known as a Tokyo-based brewery that connects the natural environment of Okutama with craft beer culture in the metropolitan area. Even from this announcement, its approach goes beyond a simple anniversary event and clearly shows an intention to create the space together with local restaurants and businesses. These two days in springtime Okutama look set to offer a chance to experience the brewery's "current position" firsthand.
The post includes an inconsistency in its year notation: while the main event dates are listed as April 18 and 19, 2026, another section of the announcement uses a different year format. Please check the latest ticket sales page and official information before attending.
