The craft brewery Matsudo Beer Yagiri Roastery in Matsudo, Chiba, announced its planned event appearances in its "March Operating Days" post published on February 27, 2026. It will take part in the Ryutetsu Beer Train on March 14 and the Tokiwadaira Cherry Blossom Festival from March 28 to 29, serving its house-brewed beer at local events.
Hop BroMatsudo is heating up in March! Matsudo Beer Yagiri Roastery is setting up at the Ryutetsu Beer Train on March 14 and the Tokiwadaira Cherry Blossom Festival from March 28 to 29.
MugiWait, what even is a beer train? You can drink beer on a train!? That sounds way too amazing!
Hop BroExactly. It’s an experiential event where you drink while moving along. Compared with a taproom, the scenery becomes part of the snack.
MugiWow. And if they’re also at a cherry blossom festival, that’s basically spring outdoor drinking completed!
Hop BroAnd local ingredients are one of Matsudo Beer’s strengths. They brew beer and happoshu using fruit and rice from the area. Their standard beer is Matsudo Pale Ale, and they also make IPAs, Belgian White, and seasonal releases.
MugiWhoa, term overload! What’s the difference between an IPA and a Belgian White, roughly? Is this on the test?
Hop BroRoughly speaking: IPA has a strong hop aroma and bitterness, Belgian White is lighter with a wheat base and can have spicy notes, and Pale Ale sits in the middle and is easier to drink. That’s the easiest way to remember it.
MugiThat’s so clear! So it’s basically the three siblings: "bold," "fluffy," and "just right"!
Hop BroExactly. Brewing locally and taking it to local events is what makes Matsudo Beer great. It’s also helpful that they offer bottled beer for takeout and shipping, not just at the shop near the east exit of Matsudo Station.
MugiDecision made! Let’s check the latest info on the official site and toast at the beer train or the cherry blossom festival! I want to start with Matsudo Pale Ale!
Based in Matsudo City, Chiba Prefecture, Matsudo Beer Yagiri Roastery announced its main March event appearances in the information section of its official site, "March Operating Days" (published February 27, 2026 at 18:41).
What has been revealed this time is participation in the following two events:
- March 14: Appearing at the Ryutetsu Beer Train
- March 28 to 29: Appearing at the Tokiwadaira Cherry Blossom Festival
Unlike its everyday taproom operations, the brewery will be present in two contrasting settings: the moving, experience-based beer train and a spring community event, the cherry blossom festival. That means its craft beer appeal should reach not only beer fans in the Matsudo area, but also visitors who stop by by chance.
According to its official information, Matsudo Beer specializes in brewing beer and happoshu using locally sourced fruit and rice. In addition to its standard "Matsudo Pale Ale," it also offers IPAs, Belgian White, and seasonal labels. It serves them at its shop in the east exit area of JR Matsudo Station, and also offers bottled beer for takeout and shipping.
Brewing locally, then bringing it out to local events. March's schedule looks like a lineup that perfectly reflects this brewery's local-first approach. Before visiting, it's a good idea to check the latest operating and event information on the official website.
