Hop BroBaeren Brewery in Shizukuishi, Iwate, is holding Oktoberfest 2026 from September 20 to 22. It is an autumn beer festival right in front of the Kitayama brewery!
MugiWhat, at the brewery itself!? The fresh brewery atmosphere sounds like a snack all on its own!
Hop BroExactly. Baeren is known for classic European-style beers, which should pair beautifully with Iwate dishes and bar snacks.
MugiEuropean-style beers? What does that mean? Is there some old-school beer etiquette too?
Hop BroKind of! These traditional approaches often celebrate toasted malt flavors and yeast character. In beer-geek language, it is about a rich malt body.
MugiGot it—not just a giant hit of bitterness, but savoring the grain flavor! I want to toast with Iwate food!
Hop BroThe main event runs from 11:00 to 15:30, and advance tickets cost ¥3,800. They include an original event beer stein, and you can bring your own stein too.
MugiBring your own stein!? I was about to hold up an empty bottle and say, “This one!” ... It has to be a stein, right?
Hop BroPlease use a stein for that move! September 20 is sold out, and it is advance tickets only, so check the official information for the 21st and 22nd.
Hop BroThere is also a pre-festival on September 19 and an extra day on the 23rd. Four beers are planned at ¥500 per glass, or ¥400 with a past event stein.
MugiThe fun even stretches before and after the festival—what a beer-lover expansion pack! There is also a paid shuttle from Morioka for the main dates.
Hop BroRight, take public transit and enjoy without worry. European-style beer and Iwate food at the brewery—a toast under autumn skies sounds irresistible already!
MugiDone! I will hunt down tasty snacks while enjoying those malty aromas. I really want to cheers at Baeren!
Baeren’s autumn beer event returns
Baeren Brewery, based in Shizukuishi, Iwate, will host Oktoberfest 2026 from Sunday, September 20 through Tuesday, September 22. The main event will take place at a special venue on the brewery grounds, in front of the Kitayama brewery.
The event runs from 11:00 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., with doors opening at 10:00 a.m. Advance tickets cost ¥3,800 per day, including an original event beer mug. Guests may also bring their own Baeren mug. The event is advance-ticket only, with no tickets sold at the venue. According to the official announcement, tickets for September 20 have sold out, while sales information remains available for September 21 and 22.
Classic beer and Iwate food
The food area will offer snacks and dishes from Iwate designed to pair with beer. Visitors can enjoy Baeren’s classic beers, brewed in a traditional European style, in the atmosphere of the brewery grounds. Public transportation is recommended, and a paid shuttle bus will operate between Morioka Station’s west exit and the venue.
Pre-event and encore day
A pre-event will be held on September 19, followed by an encore day on September 23. Neither requires the main event’s advance ticket. Beer will be sold by the glass rather than as an all-you-can-drink package. Four beers are planned at ¥500 per glass, or ¥400 for visitors who bring a Baeren event mug. A free registration ticket offers ¥100 off the first beer and ¥100 off food.
The pre-event runs from 10:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., while the encore day runs from 10:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. No shuttle bus service is scheduled on either day. Visitors should check Baeren Brewery’s official event page for weather-related updates and other details.
