River Port Brewery to Exhibit at Mino Festival and Seki Doburoku Festival in April
River Port Brewery, based in Mino City, Gifu, has announced its event appearances for April 2025. It is scheduled to take part in the Mino Festival on April 12 and the Seki Doburoku Festival on April 19. It looks like a chance to enjoy locally brewed “Made in Mino” craft beer at town festivals.
Hop BroMugi-chan, in April River Port Brewery in Mino City, Gifu, is going to festivals. On April 12, the Mino Festival; on April 19, the Seki Doburoku Festival!
MugiWhat! Being able to drink craft beer at a festival is the best! Where are they set up?
Hop BroThe Mino Festival is in front of the Mino Tourist Information Center, "Banya," from 9:30 to 14:00, and the Seki Doburoku Festival is on Honmachi 7-chome in Seki City from 12:00 to 20:00. And because it's a local brewery that champions "Made in Mino," it pairs perfectly with the town.
MugiWhoa, that's really local! But does "Made in Mino" mean it's made locally and drunk locally? That feels kind of emotional!
Hop BroExactly. At the brewery's tasting room, they also serve draft beer and sell bottles. It's great that the brewery's activities are firmly rooted in the community.
MugiWhat is that! "Draft beer" suddenly sounds like a craftsman word! In my head, a festival of people carrying wooden barrels just started!
Hop BroNo carrying required. Draft service means fresh beer poured from a keg connected to a tap. It's an easy way to enjoy the aroma and carbonation right there on the spot.
MugiI see! And River Port Brewery won an award too, right?
Hop BroYes, in March at the Japan Great Beer Awards 2025, "Mino no Sato Pale Ale" won bronze in the Classic English Style Pale Ale category. It's exciting that you can experience that quality at the event.
MugiTouring festivals and drinking a glass from a local brewer sounds amazing... In April, let's definitely go to one and raise a toast together!
