Japan's beer festival season runs on local weather and local breweries. Pick a region to see what it has to offer.

The Japanese beer year 季節のカレンダー

Beer gardens open on rooftops from May and close with the rain. Festival season peaks in September and October. Winter belongs to the taprooms.

  • Accurate to the source

    Every date, venue and time is checked against the organiser's own announcement, and listings come down when something is cancelled or moved.

  • Every kind of beer event

    Festivals, summer beer gardens, brewery open days and one-off taproom events — not just the big-city headliners.

  • Free to list

    Listing costs organisers nothing, which is how a small local festival ends up here alongside the big ones.
