In the Door Brewing announced that it will have a booth at "KOBE BOOK FAIR & MARKET 2026," which will be held on March 14 and 15 at Kobe Fashion Mart. In addition to bookstores and publishers, the venue will also feature food and drink booths, and the brewery plans to take part on both days.
Hop BroMugi-chan, there’s an event coming to Kobe where, even though it’s a book fair, beer is also a star! In the Door Brewing is exhibiting on both March 14 and 15 at "KOBE BOOK FAIR & MARKET 2026."
MugiWhat?! Books and craft beer in the same venue!? That’s too much information, I might drop my glass!
Hop BroThe venue is the Atrium Plaza at Kobe Fashion Mart on Rokko Island, and admission is free. On Saturday the 14th it runs from 11:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m., and on Sunday the 15th from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.
MugiFree is huge! And with two days over the weekend, it’s easy to go too. So which brewery is coming again?
Hop BroIt’s In the Door Brewing. The beer names haven’t been announced yet as of the article, but as a local Kobe brewery, they’re set to pour something truly "hyperlocal."
MugiWhat does that even mean? Hyperlocal sounds like local pride taken to the extreme! What kind of styles are they?
Hop BroExactly, it means deeply rooted in the local area. Their signature is brewing with "Kobe Water: the water of Rokko Nunobiki" as the brewing water. The styles and beer names will likely be announced on the day, but that water-driven character should be the core of it.
MugiOhhh! Calling it "brewing water" suddenly makes it feel artisan! So even the same beer changes character depending on the water?
Hop BroExactly. Water is the foundation of flavor, so using local water makes the character of the land come through more clearly. And this time it’s a huge event with around 110 booths, plus books, zines, talk events, and food.
MugiPick out some books, toast with a beer, then look at more books again... it’s an endless loop! On March 14 and 15, I absolutely want to drink a pint from In the Door in Kobe!
