Mugikura Brewing, a brewery based in Shimosuwa, Suwa District, Nagano Prefecture, has announced the start of the Matsumoto Beer Fest.

In an Instagram post, the brewery wrote that the Matsumoto Beer Fest would begin that day and continue for five days. The post included the hashtags “#MugikuraBrewing” and “#MatsumotoBeerFest,” indicating that the brewery is taking part in the event.

The post does not specify the venue, the beers being served, or the event’s sales and serving arrangements. However, the five-day format should give visitors an opportunity to explore craft beer over an extended period. For beer fans visiting the Matsumoto area, the festival may offer a chance to discover breweries from Nagano and beyond.

Mugikura Brewing operates in Shimosuwa, a town known for its connection to Suwa Grand Shrine and its historic townscape. Matsumoto and Shimosuwa are both located in Nagano Prefecture, making the event a natural opportunity to experience the region’s beer culture beyond the brewery’s home base.
