Yatsugatake Brewery Joins Ebina Beer Kingdom 2026, April 9 to 12
An Instagram post by Yatsugatake Brewery announced that its brand "Touchdown" is participating in Ebina Beer Kingdom 2026. The event runs from April 9 to 12, bringing craft beer from across Japan to the area around Ebina Station.
Hop BroToday, we're talking about Ebina Beer Kingdom 2026, where Yatsugatake Brewery is participating. From April 9 to 12, craft beer from all over the country is gathered around Ebina Station, and just thinking about the atmosphere at the venue makes your throat crave a drink.
MugiWhoa! They're doing that in Ebina? Hearing that the beers from all over the country are coming together makes me feel like my feet are already on their way!
Hop BroWhat's more, Yatsugatake Brewery is promoting its Touchdown brand. They posted "Hello, Touchdown🍺" on their official Instagram, which nicely conveys that they're participating in person.
MugiTouchdown? Wait, is that the beer's name? Or the sports thing? It suddenly has a football vibe!
Hop BroThat's the interesting part: "Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown" is the brewery's flagship brand. The brewery is based in Kiyosato, Hokuto City, Yamanashi Prefecture, and since 1997 it has been making beer centered on lagers. It's a very solid brewery.
MugiSo lager-focused means it's good at crisp beers? But at festivals, don't people usually go for the flashy, aromatic beers?
Hop BroOf course there are flashy beers too, but lagers have a strength that keeps them from getting old. They're cold and easy to drink, yet the barley character still comes through clearly, so at a place where you're walking around a lot like a festival venue, they're actually a strong choice.
MugiSo they're perfect for drinking while walking! And around Ebina Station, you can get there by train and just drop in for a drink, which sounds dangerously easy.
Hop BroThe post's hashtags are full of event energy too. With #Ebina and #festival in there, it feels less like a simple announcement and more like it's bringing the heat of the event right along with it.
MugiNow I can't stop thinking about it! I want to do a tasting at the venue! One glass of Yatsugatake lager, then another at the festival, that's basically a perfect happiness loop, right?
Hop BroExactly. A local brewery going to an out-of-prefecture event and delivering its brand directly has that passionate, craft-beer kind of energy. After touchdown in Ebina, maybe it's time for the next round.
On April 9, Yatsugatake Brewery's official Instagram account announced the start of Ebina Beer Kingdom with a post that said, "Hello, Touchdown🍺". The caption said, "We'll be here until Sunday the 12th, so please come visit us," clearly conveying that the brewery was participating on site.
