Calling all craft beer fans! The Craft Beer Festival in Matsumoto is coming September 14th through 17th (along weekend!) and will be held at the park around Matsumoto Castle<\/a>. At least 60 types of beers, mostly from Nagano, will be available so don’t miss it! <\/p>\n

Foodies will also rejoice because the Shinshu Food Fair will be held right along with the beer fest.<\/p>\n

Below you’ll see the flyer outlining the details for the event\u2014unfortunately it’s all in Japanese so let me do some interpreting. You can also check out the official website<\/a> for lots of photos from previous years.<\/p>\n
