An Instagram post from Mukai Craft Brewing Niyodogawa Brewery announced details for this season's first Mountain Music Festival. The venue will be the brewery's taproom, BLUE BREW. According to the post, this time the event will feature bluegrass, will start at 12:30 p.m., and will be open with free admission.

The announcement also says the weather is expected to be sunny on the day, and the cherry blossoms are likely to be at their best, making it a day where visitors can enjoy beer and music while taking in the spring atmosphere of Niyodogawa Town. Craft beer events are often held in urban areas, but being able to experience one together with the natural surroundings is one of the brewery's distinctive appeals.

Mukai Craft Brewing is a brewery that produces beer amid the rich natural environment of Niyodogawa Town in Kochi Prefecture. Its official website says that it uses the clear water of the Niyodo River system as the foundation of its brewing, and that it offers a "retreat experience" that includes food and lodging around the taproom. BLUE BREW is not just a place to drink beer, but a base for enjoying the local atmosphere and scenery as well.

This festival looks set to be the clearest opportunity yet to experience that brewery style firsthand. Listen to music from the afternoon and enjoy the spring landscape with a glass in hand. For beer fans, it is well worth considering as a weekend destination.
