A post from Beer Bar North Island, which is partly operated by North Island Beer Ebetsu Brewery in Hokkaido, reported on the "Sugawara-kun graduation event" held on March 15-16. The post expressed thanks for the flowers, gifts, and beer "treats" sent by regular customers.

In addition, since some event beer was still available, they announced that they would add one more tap on the day and serve the DD4D collaboration beer "North Meets South 2nd". It is set to end once stock runs out.

As the next topic, they also announced the release of the popular spring seasonal beer "Haru-yoi" on March 20. The flow from the afterglow of the graduation event to a seasonal limited release makes this news hard to miss for fans who visit the taproom. The post also mentioned the opening time and called on people to stop by that day.

North Island Beer is a brewery based at its factory in Ebetsu, Hokkaido, and it has built a strong presence in Hokkaido's craft beer scene. Its strength lies not only in brewing locally, but also in continuously creating touchpoints with drinkers through its beer bar in Sapporo.

This announcement is a very North Island-style message, one that values staff milestones while delivering collaborations, seasonal products, and the in-store experience as one connected story.

A report that goes beyond simply covering a weekend event and also points to the next pint is highly practical information for craft beer fans. In late March in Sapporo, North Island's taps are set to move even more.
