Northern Brew to Hold “Beer School” at Endeavour in Hakodate on May 31
Northern Brew, based in Abira, Hokkaido, will hold “Beer School Endeavour Class” at Endeavour in Yukawa-cho, Hakodate City, on May 31. The event will let participants learn about the history of beer while experiencing part of the brewing process, and a tasting that connects the shop’s beer with two beers from Northern Brew is also planned for the day.
Hop BroSo the Beer School Endeavour Class is being held at Endeavour in Hakodate, right? Learning while drinking really is the ultimate grown-up field trip.
MugiWait, there’s an event like that on May 31, from 4:00 p.m. to 6:00 p.m.? And it’s called Beer School, so can you actually drink during class?
Hop BroThe venue is Endeavour in Yukawa-cho, Hakodate City, and it’s being hosted by Northern Brew. Just the fact that brewer Hatakeyama is coming already gives the lesson a lot more authority.
MugiWhat! So you’re learning about the history of beer? Were people in the old days that serious about beer too? Were they studying foam the whole time or something?
Hop BroExactly. Fermentation culture has been deep since ancient times. This time there’s also an experience of part of the beer-making process, so you can enjoy not just drinking, but also the feeling of being in the middle of the brewing process.
MugiWait, you can experience it too? So I can scatter some malt around and feel like a craftsperson? Suddenly I’m getting major brewer vibes!
Hop BroAnd the side-by-side tasting is the real highlight. TAP1’s Hazy IPA has a soft, aromatic spread, and full throttle is an energy beer with momentum that matches its name, so the contrast should be interesting.
MugiOhhh! But what exactly is an energy beer? If I drink it, will I suddenly start running around too?
Hop BroNot really running around, but it’s a way of describing a flavor that feels energetic. Northern Brew also makes beers using oats from Abira, and its strength is that you can enjoy the personality of the ingredients.
MugiI see, and having eight varieties available all the time is just too good to be true! Learn, drink, eat, and then absolutely end up saying you want one more.

Those who wish to participate will need to check the details and application form attached to the post.
Northern Brew is based in Abira, Hokkaido, and its official website says that it offers original craft beer made with oats from Abira as well as imported craft beer, and that visitors can also enjoy sports broadcasts and public viewing inside the shop. With eight craft beers available at all times and BBQ dishes paired with beer, this event is drawing attention as a program that adds the fun of both “learning” and “drinking,” rather than just drinking alone.
