Hop BroIt’s here, Kakegawa Craft Beer Festa vol. 9. Yatsugatake Brewery has announced its booth, and it’s exactly the kind of thing that makes you want to drink during the second half of Golden Week.
MugiWhoa! So this is an event booth announcement! Not a new beer release, but something you can go meet in person?
Hop BroExactly. This time it’s an announcement that they’ll be joining the event held on May 5 and 6, 2026 at Witas 138 Store Plaza in Shizuoka. It’s close to the north exit of JR Kakegawa Station, so it’s easy to drop by.
MugiHuh, but Yatsugatake Brewery is a brewery in Kiyosato, Yamanashi, right? Coming all the way to Shizuoka feels like a bit of an expedition!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. Yatsugatake Brewery is a long-established brewery that has been brewing since 1997, based in the Kiyosato highland area, and it’s also known by the name Touchdown Beer.
MugiTouchdown sounds like a beer name, but it feels kind of sporty! Is it going to tackle me like a lager?
Hop BroClose, but no. Touchdown Beer is Yatsugatake Brewery’s brand name, and in this post it’s being introduced as a place where you can drink it.
MugiWhat is that! And it’s a tasting event too! If breweries are coming from Hokkaido to Ehime, it’s basically a national relay race!
Hop BroPretty much, and breweries from Tokyo, Shizuoka, Osaka, and other places are also expected to gather. This time, instead of a new product, the point is that you can compare their standard beers and the flavors from different regions.
MugiBeing able to drink the taste of Kiyosato in Kakegawa really feels like a chance to share it outside the prefecture! It’s kind of nice to meet a favorite brewery in a city you don’t know!
Hop BroExactly. Being able to confirm the flavor of the highlands right in the middle of the city is the real appeal of this event.
MugiWow, just imagining it makes my throat make noise! I want to drink Touchdown, I want to do beer comparisons in Kakegawa, and now it feels like my weekend plans are already set!
