Ikedaya Beer, which runs the brewpub "Makinohara Ale" in Makinohara City, Shizuoka Prefecture, has been introduced as one of the breweries exhibiting at "Shizuoka Craft Beer Jamboree 2026 in Mishima." The event will be held on April 11 and 12 at Rakujuen.
Hop BroThis time, the one to watch is the "Shizuoka Craft Beer Jamboree 2026 in Mishima," held in Mishima. Ikedaya Beer, which makes Makinohara Ale, is being introduced as one of the participating breweries.
MugiWhat! Ikedaya Beer is going to an event like that too? If I can meet them in Mishima, I definitely want to go drink there.
Hop BroExactly. It's a brewpub run by Ikedaya Saketen in Hatsu, Makinohara City, and the liquor store, founded in 1871, brews right inside the shop.
MugiWow, that's a long history! But what's a brewpub? Does "brewing inside the shop" really mean they make beer in the store?
Hop BroThat's right. Because they brew in small equipment, in small batches, they can create flavors with the kind of care that only small-scale production allows.
MugiI see! That means the flavors should have a strong personality too! What kinds of beers do they have?
Hop BroTheir flagship is Makinohara Ale. They also list Shiawase HOP IPA and Kawanehon Town Yuzu Pale Ale.
MugiWow, even the names are fun! But when I hear IPA, I only think of something with a ton of hops.
Hop BroBasically, yes. A hop-aromatic IPA tends to stand out for its aroma and bitterness, but the nice thing here is that they also aim for a smooth drinking profile that works well with food.
MugiGot it, that makes it easier for beginners to get into! On April 11 and 12, it’s a toast at Rakujuen. I’m already adding it to my schedule!
Hop BroThat settles it. If we can meet a taste of Makinohara at the Mishima venue, this combination is seriously hot. I’m already getting thirsty.
MugiExactly! Having a drink at the event sounds amazing, and I definitely want to check out Makinohara Ale’s beer!
