Yatsugatake Brewery to hold its 29th anniversary celebration on June 5-6
Yatsugatake Brewery in Hokuto, Yamanashi, says its 29th anniversary celebration is just two days away. In an Instagram update, the brewery said it was setting up for the pre-party and main event at the ROCK forecourt in Moegi no Mura.
Hop BroHere’s the story today: the 29th anniversary festival at Yatsugatake Brewery is almost here. The eve festival is on June 5, the main festival is on June 6, and it’s happening in front of Moeginomura ROCK.
MugiWait, 29 years already?! That’s such a long-running brewery. I’m getting festival jitters and I haven’t even had a beer yet!
Hop BroYep, they started in Kiyosato in 1997. The brand is Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown, and their whole thing is building flavor around the malt.
MugiWhoa, MALT CENTRIC BREWING just hit me like a pop quiz! My brain turned into beer foam for a second there!
Hop BroBasically, it means malt-first brewing. Instead of pushing only hop aroma, they make sure you get body, toastiness, and that bready depth.
MugiOhh, so we’re getting a special first tapping, draft beer, food stalls, and merch? My stomach already made its own schedule!
Hop BroExactly, and draft tasting flights are the real danger in the best way. Add food vendors, original goods, and a presale five-ticket beer sheet, and the setup is pretty dialed in.
MugiWhat is this, Kiyosato Lager already sounds delicious just from the name. And there’s the standard pilsner too, so I could overthink my first pour before the gates even open!
Hop BroThat’s because it’s a world-winning lager. Kiyosato Lager took the top honor in the lager category at the World Beer Awards 2023, and lining it up next to the pilsner shows the brewery’s range.
MugiSeriously, in front of Moeginomura ROCK is almost unfair! Good beer, good food, and that setting? I’d be ready to toast before my first sip.
Hop BroThat’s the appeal: you get to taste where the brewery is now all at once. On June 5 and 6, I absolutely want to be there for the first glass.
On June 4, Yatsugatake Brewery posted on Instagram that its 29th anniversary celebration was "two days away," noting that preparations and set-up were underway for the pre-party and the main event. The venue is the ROCK forecourt in Moegi no Mura, where the brewery is based. The celebration is scheduled for June 5 as the eve event and June 6 as the main festival, with first pours of special beers, draft beer service, food stalls, and original merchandise all planned.
Founded in 1997 in Kiyosato, Hokuto City, Yatsugatake Brewery operates under the brand name Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown.
