Now in its second year, this event is run by a group of students with an interest in craft beer, and they have chosen seven Hokkaido craft breweries to participate with booths. Food is not sold at the event, but you can bring in food purchased at restaurants inside Sapporo Factory. Participating breweries are Black Fox, Nakafurano, , Bifuka Shirakaba, Kyogoku, Shimokawa Mori, Hokkaido Otobe Oiwake, and Lupicia, and brewmasters will be on hand.

This early-March weekend event seems to be a mini session of the popular regional beer festival, with nine local brewers announced so far. Check the website for more details as the date approaches.

Begun in Spring 2022, this small neighborhood event now has ten participating breweries and importers, including West Coast Brewing, TDM 1874, Titans, Ushitora and Kaigan Brewery. A handful of food trucks will provide snacks. The event will be held in the big open space about 4 minutes from the east exit of Shimo-Kitazawa Station where the above-ground train used to run.

Japan's biggest Belgian beer event kicks off the season in Tokyo's Hibiya Park for the first time. We can expect several dozen different beers from various brewers, and there will be plenty of food, both Belgian and non-Belgian.
