Hop BroEbetsu, Hokkaido is the place to watch. North Island Beer’s 17th anniversary festival is happening at EBRI on August 16.
MugiWhat! An anniversary party means we get to celebrate and drink? The venue is EBRI? Even the name sounds tasty!
Hop BroAnd it’s only a five-minute walk from JR Nopporo Station, running from 11:00 to 18:00. An easy daytime beer event like that is hard to beat.
MugiNice! Easy access matters. But what beers are the stars this time? I want the beer details too!
Hop BroThat’s the interesting part. Rather than one named beer, this event shows off five core beers and limited brews across the lineup. It really feels like North Island Beer.
MugiWait, what even is that? Limited brewing suddenly sounds like a school exam subject!
Hop BroPut simply, it means special batches brewed just for that moment. By changing yeast or hop combinations, they create a one-time-only flavor. That’s a big part of craft beer’s charm.
MugiGot it, so it’s like a new flavor gacha every time! And if their bar pours up to 12 beers on draft, I could spend all day just choosing!
Hop BroThe food side is strong too. The last vendor announcement was SUG SPICE, bringing hot chicken vindaloo as a solo pop-up.
MugiBeer with vindaloo? Spicy curry and beer sounds like a full festival happening inside my mouth!
Hop BroExactly, but it’s a carefully designed festival. They described it as pairing food and beer so neither dominates, a balanced pairing approach that’s honestly pretty slick.
MugiMy stomach is applauding already. Presale tickets are 500 yen cheaper, and the all-you-can-drink tickets are sold out, right? Fine, I’m going in with a regular ticket!
Hop BroThat’s the correct call. You can buy through Instagram or paper tickets too, and it really makes you want to toast the 17th anniversary in person.
MugiThen it’s settled. On August 16 in Ebetsu, let’s raise a glass to beer and curry together. I’m thirsty just reading about it!
North Island Beer will host its 17th anniversary festival on Sunday, August 16, at EBRI in Ebetsu, Hokkaido. The venue is a five-minute walk from JR Nopporo Station, and the event will run from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. In its Instagram post, the brewery said it had finished introducing all 10 vendors and highlighted SUG SPICE as the final food vendor announcement.
SUG SPICE will participate as a standalone booth inside the venue rather than in the originally planned collaboration with Bistro & café soup. The planned hot chicken vindaloo is described as a pairing that does not overpower either the beer or the curry, suggesting an event built around both drinking and dining.
Advance tickets are ¥500 cheaper and can be purchased via the link in Instagram bio or the QR code in the post. Paper tickets are available at the Ebetsu brewery, Beer Bar North Island, Cocomocha, and EBRI. The all-you-can-drink ticket limited to the first 50 people has already sold out.
North Island Beer is a Hokkaido brewery based in Ebetsu and originally started by brewers trained in Canada. The brewery makes five regular beers alongside seasonal and limited releases, and its Sapporo beer bar serves up to 12 draft beers. The anniversary festival fits that broad, beer-first approach.
