MugiWhat? We can enjoy it beyond the pub at festivals around Japan too? I want to chase them down!
Hop BroThey are scheduled for Gifu Station, Hamamatsu, Gifu Castle, and Osaka. The pub will also tap new beers in sequence, so October should be full of discoveries.
MugiDoes “tapping” mean turning on a beer faucet, or dramatically popping a bottle cap? A new-beer tapping sounds so ceremonial!
Hop BroHere it means starting service from a keg. In short, it is the signal for fresh beer. A ceremonial toast is absolutely encouraged!
MugiNice! And at Gifu Oktoberfest, they are proposing Beer Style GIFU—that really catches my attention!
Hop BroIt is a vision for a regional style that follows—or even surpasses—Kölsch and West Coast IPA. They want to express Gifu’s sense of place through beer.
MugiSense of place? Like the beer wears a badge saying, “I grew up in Gifu”? So it means telling a place through flavor?
Hop BroPretty much! It can embrace local scenery, food, ingredients, and the brewer’s perspective while seeking a taste unique to that place. Specific beers and styles are not announced yet.
MugiThen following the announcements is part of the fun! With Kamafes planned for October 17, I want to raise a glass in Mizunami or at a festival right now!
Beer festivals across the region
Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE, a brewpub located in Kamadocho, Mizunami, Gifu, has shared its October plans on Instagram. The brewery will operate on reduced hours on Saturday, October 3, so visitors should check the latest opening information before making the trip.
Throughout the month, Camado plans to appear at beer festivals around Gifu Station, Hamamatsu, Gifu Castle and Osaka. The brewery also says that new beers will be tapped one after another, giving drinkers opportunities to discover its latest releases both at the brewpub and at festival venues.
A new beer identity for Gifu
One of the key announcements concerns the Gifu Oktoberfest. Camado Brewery HAKOFUNE says it will take on the challenge of creating a distinctly local beer style—one positioned alongside, or even beyond, established categories such as German Kölsch and West Coast IPA. The brewery describes this initiative as the beginning of a movement to propose “Beer Style GIFU.”
No individual beer names, ingredients or detailed serving schedules were provided in the announcement. Still, the planned succession of new taps makes October an appealing month for drinkers who enjoy following a brewery’s evolving lineup and exploring regional interpretations of familiar beer styles.
The post also highlights Kamado Festival on October 17, describing it as a gathering of legends. The event should appeal not only to fans of Camado’s beers but also to anyone interested in meeting brewers and connecting with the local craft beer community.
HAKOFUNE combines brewing and dining in a single brewpub setting in the mountain town of Mizunami. Visitors can enjoy new releases at the taproom, then follow the brewery’s festival appearances to experience its beers in different settings. The announcement did not identify any specific beer titles.
