Snow Monkey Beer Live 2019 is an annual event held at Shiga Kogen ski resort in Nagano, Japan. The event takes place over two days, Friday 15th and Saturday 16th March and combines Japanese craft beer, which we love, with music, which we love, with snowboarding and skiing, which we also love, so what is there not to love?
