Yokohama gets its one BeerFes this year in September when the Great Japan Beer Festival, aka BeerFes Yokohama, returns for three-day drinking. Held at Osanbashi Yokohama International Passenger Terminal, BeerFes Yokohama Autumn is held from the 15th September to the 17th September and has breweries from Japan, with some import beers also on sale.
BeerFes Yokohama is open from the later time of 16:30 this year to 19:00 on the 15th, with last orders at 18:45. The timings for the Saturday have also changed with two time slots. The first being from 11:30 to 15:00 and the second from 16:00 to 19:30 on the 17th. The last day of the event only has one time slot this year, with it being from 13:00 to 16:30 with last orders at 16:15 due to tidying up. For those that attended last year’s event, unfortunately the slots have shrunk a bit in time, going from four hours down to about 3hrs 30.
