MugiWait, a rogaining event at a beer brewery? What kind of competition is that?!
Hop BroIt’s on March 29, 2026, with assembly at Kitayama Brewery at 10:00, a participation fee of 500 yen, and you even get one bottle of Ichiaku no Saison.
MugiThat’s a lot to take in! But first, what is rogaining? The name sounds intense!
Hop BroIt’s a game where you move around checkpoints on a map within a time limit and compete for points, and this one has a walking-only rule, so vehicles aren’t allowed.
MugiOhhh! Walking around town sounds fun! By the way, what kind of beer is the bonus Ichiaku no Saison?
Hop BroSaison is a Belgian-style beer known for being light and aromatic, so in other words, it’s a crisp, easy-drinking type.
MugiSeriously! Now I want one! I heard entry is for teams of two or three, but is one person not allowed?
Hop BroEven if you apply alone, the organizers will match you with a partner, and car arrival is fine, with baggage storage and prizes by rank also provided.
MugiTouring places tied to Ishikawa Takuboku and then ending with a toast sounds like the perfect mix of local culture and beer...
Hop BroIt’s very Baeren, with a classic European style, and it’s all set up so you can run, learn, and drink afterward. All I can see now is that post-finish drink.
MugiIt’s settled! On the day, let’s walk Morioka to the limit and finish with a full-power toast together!
