North Island Beer Ebetsu Factory to Release Two Limited Beers in April and Appear at Events Across Japan
North Island Beer Ebetsu Factory announced its April schedule on Instagram. In addition to planned limited-beer releases on the 10th and 24th, it will also appear at events in Tokyo, Sapporo, and Hiroshima toward the end of the month. It also shared business hours for its factory direct-sales shop and its directly managed beer bar.
Hop BroThis is hot for April's lineup. North Island Beer Ebetsu Factory put out a roundup on Instagram of limited-beer releases and event appearances.
MugiWhat! Two limited beers? That's enough to get me fired up for the new fiscal year!
Hop BroExactly. They're scheduled for April 10 and 24. And toward the end of the month, they're moving around so you can catch them in Tokyo, Sapporo, and Hiroshima.
MugiWhat do you mean! Does event appearance mean they set up shop at department stores or events? It suddenly feels like a nationwide beer tour!
Hop BroThat's right. This time they'll be at Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro, Sogo Hiroshima, and Benizakura Park Fest, so the places where you can drink their beer are opening up a lot.
MugiOhhh! So that means I can chase the taste of Ebetsu in Tokyo and Hiroshima too, right? The kind of thing where your feet want beer before you do!
Hop BroExactly. North Island is a brewery in Ebetsu, Hokkaido, and they also excel at a weizen made with Ebetsu-grown wheat.
MugiWeizen sounds stylish just by hearing it! Wheat beer-what makes it different from regular beer?
Hop BroBecause it's made from wheat, it tends to have a softer mouthfeel and a light, airy aroma. So even though it has a gentle drinking feel, it still has a distinct personality, and that's the nice thing about it.
MugiI see! And if they even have a factory direct-sales shop, that's a pretty strong reason to drink on site. I even checked the weekend and holiday hours!
Hop BroThey also have the directly managed Beer Bar North Island, and spring is nice because there are so many options. Chase the limited beers or head to Ebetsu-it's a tough call.
MugiOkay, I'm going to aim for April 24 first! What about you, Hop bro? Limited beer or weizen? I already want to toast now!
Hop BroBoth, definitely. It's a spring beer tour, so once you read this article, your throat's already starting to call for a drink.

NORTH ISLAND BEER is a brewery that began with a brewer who trained in Canada, and it continues to make beer based in Ebetsu, Hokkaido. Its official website says the brewery is also focusing on wheats such as a weizen made with wheat from Ebetsu, as well as limited beers that make use of Hokkaido ingredients. Spring is a season when factory direct sales, the directly managed store, and event appearances overlap, so it should be an especially easy time for drinkers to experience a North Island beer at a nearby location.
