Okayama Saidaiji Beer Announces the 3rd Tera BEER Festa at Saidaiji Kannon-in
Okayama Saidaiji Beer Brewery has announced the third Tera BEER Festa, a craft beer event held at Saidaiji Kannon-in in Okayama City. The festival brings together locally rooted beer, food and community activities in the grounds of the historic temple.
Hop BroOkay, here’s a fun one: Okayama Saidaiji Beer Brewery is hosting the 3rd Tera BEER Festa at Saidaiji Kannon-in Temple. Craft beer in a temple courtyard is a brilliant combination.
MugiWhat?! A beer festival at a temple? Can you really pray and then raise a glass in the same place?
Hop BroYou can. Set in the historic temple grounds, it brings together craft beer, local food, and community. Previous editions reportedly gathered several breweries from Okayama too.
MugiOoh! An Okayama beer tasting sounds perfect for a beginner like me. Are there snacks too?
Hop BroAbsolutely. There have been beer-friendly foods, music, and children’s activities—so it is designed for many generations. A very peaceful kind of festival.
MugiBut I can feel a technical explanation coming… What is the brewery’s signature beer called?
Hop BroGreat question! Watch for a beer called Akura, made with wild yeast and named after the local Okayama word for the kurogane-mochi tree growing at the temple.
MugiWild yeast? What is that—beer germs gone camping in the forest?
Hop BroThat image is adorable. Yeast is a microorganism that turns sugars into alcohol and flavor; wild yeast is collected from nature. It can help capture local character in brewing.
MugiA beer inspired by a tree at the temple… that is so romantic. It feels like you could taste the spirit of Saidaiji in a glass.
Hop BroAnd the brewery’s attached Gofuku Workshop also serves stone-oven pizza. Just imagining Akura with pizza sends my pairing brain into overdrive.
MugiI’m joining that overdrive! Dates, vendors, beers, and tickets will be announced officially, so let’s watch for upcoming details.
Hop BroExactly—use public transport and, if you are of legal drinking age, enjoy responsibly. I’m already thirsty for a Saidaiji-style toast in that temple setting.
MugiSame! Temple grounds, pizza, and craft beer—I want to toast already! Let’s say cheers at Tera BEER Festa!
Okayama Saidaiji Beer Brewery has announced the third edition of the Tera BEER Festa at Saidaiji Kannon-in. The event takes place at Saidaiji Kannon-in in eastern Okayama City, using the temple grounds as a setting for craft beer, food and community-focused activities.

The Tera BEER Festa offers a distinctive meeting point between the historic atmosphere of a temple and the contemporary culture of craft beer. Details for the third edition, including the event date, participating breweries, beer lineup and ticket information, are expected to be announced through the brewery’s official updates.
