Craft beer, or ji-beer, which best translates to local beer, is celebrated at Ji-Beer Fest Kofu 2017. It’s a week-long festival located at Kofu in Yamanashi, which is home to Outsider Brewing. The previous events have been  big success and aims to increase the awareness and knowledge of beer styles and tastes to the public.

Ji-Beer Fest Kofu 2017 starts on Friday 28th July and runs until Sunday 6th August so you have plenty of time to try lots of local beers. The opening times for the event are weekdays from 4:30pm to 9:00pm and weekends from 11:30am to 9:00pm with last orders at 8:45pm. Breweries at previous events have included:

The breweries for the 2017 have not been released yet but once they have been, we’ll update this post as soon as we can. If last year’s event was anything to go by, expect the Yamanashi breweries above to attend plus some others, with Minoh Beer already having confirmed they will be in attendance for it.

How to Get Tickets For Ji-Beer Fest Kofu 2017

The event uses tickets for drinks system though it is possible to buy tickets on the day. You can buy an advance book of five tickets and original glass for ¥1,500 from the 5th June at the following places:

  • Lawson’s using the L-Code 33711
  • Seven Eleven using the code 053-634
  • Yamahi YBS Main shop

The same package on the day will cost ¥1,600 yen, while a book of five tickets for drinks will cost ¥1,000 and if you want just the original glass then it will set you back ¥600. Moreover, there are also some strange deals going on – for example, females get ¥100 off the price of an original glass when purchased on a weekday, people wearing a yukata or kimono also get ¥100 off a book of five tickets on any day, and students with valid ID also get ¥100 off a book of five tickets on any day. There isn’t any information if these deals stack up though so don’t blame us if you try and nothing happens.
