Hop BroApril 11 is when Spring Brew Fest 2026 gets interesting. Rusty Nest Brewery is holding it at its brewery in Oamishirasato City, Chiba Prefecture, and there will even be a free shuttle bus from JR Ooami Station.
MugiWait, an event at a brewery!? So it is more than just drinking, it's basically a festival!
Hop BroExactly, and what's really exciting is the debut of the new beer. The venue is near Shirasato Coast, so it feels like you're tasting the very air of Kujukuri.
MugiThe air of Kujukuri? What does that even mean! But when you call it a community co-creation event, it sounds a little hard to understand, doesn't it?
Hop BroIn short, it means using beer as a way to connect people, culture, and industry. This time there will also be tastings with Choshi Beer, which is what makes it interesting because you can see how craft beer is spreading across Chiba.
MugiA tasting sounds great! But what is that Chiba University thing, CURAFT? It suddenly sounds so academic!
Hop BroIt's an initiative that brings in ideas from students and the local community, and the point is that you can look across brewing culture. And there will be plenty of outdoor content, including beach yoga, party games, and even a talk show.
MugiWait, you're doing yoga after drinking beer!? But now there are evening live performances and hula dancing too? At this point it's basically a festival!
Hop BroAnd that's not all. There will also be kitchen trucks using local ingredients like bamboo shoots, plus leather goods and handmade accessories. Rusty Nest Brewery has been building this as a former factory revival hub, and they've even grown it to include a cafe and an RV park.
MugiI get it, it's a day where you can enjoy the whole town. This definitely makes me want to have a drink at the venue, and toast while feeling the breeze from Shirasato Coast!
