A Brewery That Values Springtime Connections


North Island Beer is a brewery based in Ebetsu, Hokkaido. On its official website, it says it continues to create a diverse range of beers by making use of local ingredients such as wheat from Ebetsu and hops from Hokkaido, combining its regular and limited releases. The idea of "Beer is Art," inherited through training in Canada, is also a guiding principle in its craftsmanship.

Sharing a Moment of Spring


According to the brewery's official information, it holds flower-viewing gatherings in spring with people who have supported it as part of its relationship with the local community, and this recent Instagram post can be seen as an extension of that. Its distinctive approach is to share the ties to the land and people behind the beer in the form of an event.

A Plan That Also Pairs Well with Seasonal Beer


North Island Beer offers "Haruyoi" as a limited spring beer, and it also includes "Coriander White" in its seasonal lineup for March and April. There is also the enjoyment of pairing these seasonal brews with a flower-viewing setting. The spring event shared by the Ebetsu brewery is becoming an entry point not only to the beer itself, but also to tasting the season of the place.
