North Island Beer has announced its 17th anniversary thanksgiving event on Instagram. The venue is EBRI, a renovated brick factory complex in Ebetsu, Hokkaido (3-3 Higashinohoro-cho), about a five-minute walk from JR Nopporo Station. The event will run from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m.

The program is designed to bring together beer, music, and the local community. According to the post, the day will begin with a live performance by the Ebetsu Chuo Junior High School wind band, with the main live performance scheduled for around 11:30 a.m. That local connection gives the anniversary event a distinctly community-oriented tone.

Advance tickets are available through the Instagram link or QR code via Swipe. Paper tickets are also being sold at the Ebetsu brewery, Beer Bar North Island, Cocomoca, and EBRI. The 50-person all-you-can-drink ticket sold out in advance, while regular advance tickets remain on sale.

North Island Beer has been brewing in Hokkaido since 2003 and moved to Ebetsu in 2009. The brewery has long emphasized local ties and carefully brewed beers, and this anniversary event reflects that history in both its venue choice and its lineup.
