The Craft Beer Field Executive Committee will be holding "Craft Beer Field 2024" at Hokkaido Ballpark F Village for three days from September 14th (Sat) to 16th (Mon/Holiday).

This year's "Craft Beer Field 2024," the second annual event, will feature 16 breweries from across Japan and one from Denmark. Eleven breweries will be participating for the first time. Why not spend the whole day drinking beer from these breweries, who are particular about everything from the taste to the ingredients, brewing methods, and even the brewing location? There will also be a souvenir beer sales area where you can take home any beers you like (some varieties may not be available). Let's fully enjoy discovering new beers. At the venue, you can interact with the breweries, relax with family and friends in a limited area where you can enjoy delicious appetizers, and try out "cornhole," an American-born party sport. On the second floor ROOF TOP of "SORA TO SHIBA by YONA YONA ALE" a craft beer brewing restaurant within Esconfield, amateur bands mainly active in Sapporo will perform a variety of music. You can spend time in a comfortable space with pleasant music. The "Craft Gyoza Festival" will also be held during the event! You can also enjoy the perfect pairing of piping hot dumplings and beer.

Seven stores from 10 prefectures across Japan are making their debut at Escon Field!

VERTERE, based in Okutama, makes beer at their own pace without being swept away by the fast pace of the city; BLACK TIDE BREWING in Miyagi, which offers a wide variety of beers created by members who have come together to embody "BREWED WITH PRIDE IN KESENNUMA"; Son of the Smith Hard Cider, based in Nagano Prefecture, founded by experts from various fields such as apple farmers, chemists, and designers with the common philosophy of "Make Cider, Make Culture" and "Farm to Cheers"; Repubrew, a craft beer maker in Shizuoka that delivers "new discoveries" through beer with the motto of "creating what doesn't exist"; Nara Brewing, which started brewing in June 2018, makes a wide variety of beers, from classical beer styles to collaborations with various manufacturers including sake breweries, with the motto "Enjoy the fun of choosing beer!"; and RISE&WIN Brewing in Tokushima Prefecture, which brews unique craft beers that challenge the problem of food waste by reusing off-spec Naruto Kintoki sweet potatoes and mandarins that cannot be sold as regular products. After years of training under the mastermind behind "Co.", Heartland, and Ichiban Shibori, the brewer established "Shimanami Brewery" in his hometown of Hiroshima to pursue the creation of craft lagers. These seven breweries will be coming to Esconfield for the first time!

Also featured are beers named in the Tsugaru dialect, brewed by American brewer Gareth who speaks the Tsugaru dialect; Be Easy Brewing from Aomori, proud of its "clean and smooth" beers; Totopia Brewery, which transforms fresh fruits and plants into beers, showcasing even greater depth; and FUKUOKA CRAFT BREWING, making its second appearance, which uses rare hard water drawn from 50 meters underground in Okagaki Town, Fukuoka, to deliver its meticulously crafted beers to the world. Many have been eagerly awaiting their arrival since last year!

A store has opened for the first time, all the way from overseas!

Mikkeller is a Danish brewery that originated when its founder, Mikkel, a math and physics teacher, started homebrewing in his kitchen. In Japan, there are three locations in Tokyo and a bar in Sapporo, Hokkaido! Because we love Hokkaido ♡ Mikkeller delivers innovative beers and, through various collaborations, creates not only beer but also culture, valuing the new creativity that arises from the community. We also strive every day to provide interesting things for all of our Mikkeller Lovers.

Six of Hokkaido's top breweries will be featured!

The lineup includes "SORA TO SHIBA by YONA YONA ALE" a craft beer brewing restaurant located within Escon Field; "Streetlight Brewing," which started brewing last year in the Sapporo Soen area; "Hobo Brewing," where a Sapporo-born brewer brews original beers in various locations such as Sapporo, Shikoku, Tokyo, and even overseas breweries in a phantom style; "NORTH ISLAND BEER," which is also working on making beers that make use of local ingredients, such as wheat and hops from its base in Ebetsu; "Brasserie Knot," a brewery in Tsurui Village in eastern Hokkaido, where abundant nature and a peaceful paradise area spread out; and "Noboribetsu Craft Beer Oni Densetsu," which has been in business for 26 years near Noboribetsu Onsen and has recently been producing local hop beers using hops from Noboribetsu.

Held concurrently! Don't miss the "Craft Gyoza Festival®," which has attracted over 2 million people nationwide!

"For all dumpling lovers" We bring you a selection of the finest handcrafted dumplings!
"Craft dumplings" refer to dumplings that have been meticulously crafted by dumpling artisans across Japan, with attention paid to every detail, from the wrapper and filling to the sauce, during the manufacturing process and ingredient selection. These creative dumplings, including not only pan-fried dumplings but also boiled dumplings, deep-fried dumplings, steamed dumplings, and even xiao long bao, incorporate the unique characteristics and individuality of each shop. Their appeal lies in the fact that they can be enjoyed paired with beverages such as beer, depending on the flavor and ingredients. A lineup of unique dumplings from Hokkaido and other regions across Japan is available.
