For full details, be sure to check out their flyer: Craft Beer Shinshu Kaikin Matsuri (Flyer) Merchandise There were various related items for sale at the Craft Beer Shinshu Kaikin Matsuri but there was no official merchandise for sale. They did have a special table selling glassware and we stopped by to take a look and see what they had to offer. Interviews We had a very busy time at the Craft Beer Shinshu Kaikin Matsuri. We were joined by Josh, the guy who does the reddit list of craft beer establishments in Tokyo. It was fun to have him join us for the videos as we talked about the different beers available at the festival. We’ll definitely be getting him to join us again in the future.
