Why You Should Visit
AWAJI BEER, the island's craft brewery, holds its annual beer festival at waSTEP AWAJISHIMA, a roadside complex near the Awaji IC. This eighth edition pours all eight of its beers on tap, including a limited-batch Golden Ale that is served on draught only at this event. Those who buy the 60-minute all-you-can-drink pass (2,300 yen in advance, 3,000 yen on the day) receive fresh hops grown on Awaji Island to drop into their glass and compare the aroma. Single pours are 660 yen. It suits a coastal drive stopover—drinkers will need a non-drinking driver or public transport.
