A post published by Marika Brewing (毬花麦酒) on March 13 revealed that a new nearby spot, "Field Ales Pub," is scheduled to open at 3:00 PM on March 14. Just a 4-minute walk from Marika, this development makes Nagano craft beer hopping even more exciting.
Hop BroHere's news that will make Nagano beer hopping even hotter. According to a post from Marika Brewing (毬花麦酒), "Field Ales Pub" is scheduled to open at 3:00 PM on March 14, 2026, just a 4-minute walk away.
MugiWait, 4 minutes? That's way too close! That's basically saying, "go bar-hopping."
Hop BroExactly. And with a name like "Ales," it sounds like they may be focusing on ale styles, while Marika itself is strong as a landing spot with 8 taps available at all times.
MugiWhat?! Eight taps? You mean eight faucets? Like a bathroom?
Hop BroThat's a hilarious image. It means eight beer taps, so they can serve up to eight varieties at once. It makes side-by-side tasting across styles easy.
MugiOhhh! So what can you drink on the day? Have they announced the beer names yet?
Hop BroIn this post, they haven't revealed individual beer names yet. The key point is that the new shop opens up a beer-hopping route. You can even see a flow where you stop by after watching the Nagano Parceiro vs Matsumoto Yamaga match, which kicks off at 2:00 PM.
MugiWatch the match, drink beer, move again, drink more beer... that's the best day ever! And it's near the Zenkoji Omotesando area too, right?
Hop BroRight. Marika is dog-friendly and has Wi-Fi and power outlets, so it's strong as a place to take a break. On top of that, there are plans for March 20's Latin party, the April 11-12 cherry blossom craft beer event, and Snack Megumi on April 17, so the schedule stays packed after March.
MugiNagano craft beer is moving so fast I can barely keep up, but I want to keep up! March 14 at 3:00 PM, Field Ales Pub opens... I already can't wait to go drink there!
