Nippon Craft Beer Festival in Sumida

Always offering a convenient way to sample a wide variety of domestic craft brews in one sitting, the Nippon Craft Beer Festival now stops by Asakusa over the long weekend. More than 60 varieties, including a few 'guest beers' from overseas, will be available at Sumida Riverside Hall, with top breweries like Kiuchi (Hitachino Nest), Coedo, Brimmer and Aqula already confirming their participation. The grub selection tends to be pretty good at these fests, too.
