Hop BroBreaking news: Yatsugatake Brewery announced on Instagram that it’ll be exhibiting at "BEER ROAD MINOKAMO 2026" starting March 14!
MugiWhoa! A craft beer event in Minokamo!? That sounds like it’s going to be packed!
Hop BroThe venue is the Otaguku area of the Nakasendo Kaikan, the dates are Saturday, March 14 and Sunday, March 15, 2026, the hours are 11:00 to 18:00, and admission is free. It’s a smart setup for strolling around town while you drink!
MugiOhhh! So you can wander around near the station and do tastings as you go? That’s amazing!
Hop BroExactly. And Yatsugatake Brewery is a long-established brewery from Kiyosato Highland in Yamanashi, with roots dating back to 1997. Brewing that makes use of the natural environment is one of its strengths.
MugiGot it, so it’s a veteran brewery! But what did you mean earlier by a "walk-around-friendly setup"?
Hop BroBasically, it means the flow is good. The venue is spread out, so you can move around and visit different booths. In beer-event terms, it has strong "strollability."
MugiWhat is that! You just dropped a pro term on me! "Strollability" is like a beer version of a stamp rally, right?
Hop BroExactly! By the way, the beer names haven’t been announced yet, and neither have the styles. So there’s the fun of checking the tap list on the day and seeing what turns up, from standards to seasonal brews.
MugiWhoa, it’s like an unknown beer gacha! Just imagining freshly poured Yatsugatake Brewery beer makes my throat want it already!
Hop BroSame here. On March 14 and 15, both of us will probably be seriously ready for that "first beer" in Minokamo.
