Hop BroThe Mogura Beer Camp at Doai Station is an event I really want to check out.
MugiWait, beer at a station? And it is called Mogura Beer Camp—are we going underground?
Hop BroIt features OCTONE Brewing from Minakami, Gunma, at DOAIVILLAGE beside JR Doai Station on October 3, 2026.
MugiCraft beer and food amid Minakami nature! Noon to 6 p.m. sounds like plenty of time to enjoy it!
Hop BroThe headline attraction is Mogura Aged Beer, matured on a platform about 70 meters underground. The keg is scheduled to come up that morning.
MugiSeventy meters underground?! So the beer was aging below ground like a mole?
Hop BroExactly. Aging means letting flavors settle together over time. I am curious what the stable underground setting will do to it.
MugiI get it… but kegs are heavy, right? Are they really climbing 486 steps upstairs with one? Their legs will age first!
Hop BroThat is right—the journey from underground becomes part of the flavor story. And it is planned as a one-day-only pour.
MugiThe brewery also uses Okutone water, local hops, and apples. I want the scenery, the station, and that limited glass all together!
Hop BroOCTONE’s beer and hard cider sound great too. A subterranean-aged toast in Doai Station’s remarkable setting—how perfect is that?
MugiPerfect! Let’s check the event details and drink mole beer on October 3!
Octone Brewing, based in Minakami, Gunma, will participate in Mogura Beer Camp at JR Doai Station on Saturday, October 3, 2026.
The event will be held at DOAIVILLAGE, next to the station, from 12:00 to 18:00. Visitors can enjoy craft beer and food surrounded by Minakami’s natural scenery.
The main attraction is Mogura Aged Beer, which has been matured on the platform approximately 70 meters underground at Doai Station. According to Octone Brewing’s announcement, the barrel will be carried up from the underground platform on the morning of the event, requiring it to be transported up 486 steps.
Mogura Aged Beer is scheduled to be available only on this day. Its distinctive story, from underground maturation to service above ground, adds an unusual dimension to the tasting experience.
Octone Brewing makes beer using the water and natural resources of the Okutone area. Its brewing project began in 2018 and has since expanded into local agriculture, including hop and apple cultivation, as well as hard cider production. The brewery now operates a brewery and taproom offering both beer and cider, with a focus on community-based production.
For beer enthusiasts, Mogura Beer Camp offers a chance to pair a limited aged beer with the unique atmosphere of Doai Station and the landscape of Minakami. Visitors should check the organizer’s latest information before attending.
