The brewpub Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE in Kamado Town, Mizunami City, Gifu Prefecture, has announced its Golden Week business schedule and current tap list.

Golden Week Hours


Operations are centered from April 29 through May 6, with April 30 and May 7 closed. On May 1, hours are 6:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.; on all other days, the shop will be open from 12:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. The in-store staffing schedule is also laid out in detail, so it is worth checking before visiting during the holiday break.

April 29 Event


On April 29, the "Ryugin Beer Walk" will be held. The plan is to meet at Kamado Station at 10:00 a.m., toast at 1:00 p.m., buy beer at Kamado Brewery, and then walk through Ryugin Forest and the Seven Waterfalls. That same day, draft beer is also scheduled to be on tap at "Kisshu Fugu" in Atsuta Ward, Nagoya, where you can enjoy the pairing of fish dishes and craft beer.

Current Tap List


The taps currently include "Ignition Rite IPA," a West Coast IPA; "Celebration III," a fake lager; "MERO (Mero) Blood Orange IPA," a blood orange IPA; "Plato IPA," an IPA; "1HH (Single Hop Hazy) Superdelic," a single-hop hazy; and "Belfonse Barley Wine" at 15.0%. The post also says that "Toki Apple Cider" is planned to follow MERO, adding the enjoyment of waiting for a fruit-forward drink.

Hakofune's appeal is its range, from IPAs that show the character of the brewing process, to a brisk fake lager, to a dense barley wine. Since the holiday schedule and beers on offer may change during Golden Week, it is best to check the latest announcement before visiting.
