LUPICIA Brewery, based in Niseko, Hokkaido, says it will join Odori Park Beer Garden for four days from August 8 to 11. The brewery will bring a newly renewed beer lineup and will serve at the venue from noon to 9 p.m., with last orders at 8:30 p.m.
Hop BroSapporo's summer just got more interesting, because Niseko Lupicia Brewery is popping up at the Odori Park Beer Garden from August 8 to 11.
MugiWhat! At the Odori Park Beer Garden? Niseko showing up in central Sapporo sounds way too good!
Hop BroYep, and LUPICIA BREWERY is run by the tea specialist Lupicia. It moved from Tokyo to Niseko in 2020 and builds its beers around the local air, water, and seasons.
MugiWhoa, but local air in beer? What does that even mean? They're not literally canning mountain breeze, right?!
Hop BroIt sounds poetic, but it's brewing talk. That is terroir in beer terms: the water, climate, and seasonal feel all shape the beer's character.
MugiOhhh, got it! So it's basically a beer with a strong Niseko personality, like a Hokkaido trip in a glass!
Hop BroExactly. The post says they're bringing their newly refreshed beers this year, which sounds perfect for a hot summer day.
MugiHold on, the beer names and styles still aren't out yet? My brain needs to know whether to prepare for lager mode or IPA mode!
Hop BroLooks like they're saving that for the event. For now, the lineup details are still undisclosed, but hours are 12:00 to 21:00 with last order at 20:30.
MugiThen we obviously need a plan for drinking Niseko in Sapporo. I'm getting thirsty just thinking about it!
Hop BroSitting in Odori Park with a summer breeze and checking out a refreshed seasonal pour sounds exactly right. Existing fans are going to have a hard time skipping this.
MugiSettled! For those four days starting August 8, my schedule and my glass are officially reserved!
LUPICIA Brewery is the beer brand operated by LUPICIA, the tea specialist based in Hokkaido's Niseko area. According to the brewery's official site, the company moved its base from Tokyo to Niseko in 2020 and has since aimed to reflect the local air, water, and changing seasons in its beer. That approach has shaped a lineup that is closely tied to the place where it is brewed.
In its Instagram post, the brewery announced that it will open a booth at Odori Park Beer Garden for four days from August 8 to 11. The venue will run from 12:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with last orders at 8:30 p.m. The post also says the team will serve a renewed beer lineup and invites visitors to stop by for a drink on a hot summer day.
For beer fans, the appearance links two different sides of Hokkaido: Niseko's locally rooted brewing and Sapporo's signature summer beer event. Being able to drink a Niseko-made beer in the center of Sapporo makes this a practical stop for regular fans and a useful introduction for anyone who has not yet tried LUPICIA Brewery's beers.
