Golden Rabbit Beer to Join Craft Beer Land Events in Three Shiga Venues
Golden Rabbit Beer has announced its participation in the Craft Beer Land events taking place in Shiga Prefecture from September through October 2026. Craft breweries from Shiga, Kyoto, and Nara will gather at three venues, alongside food, music, outdoor films, and family activities.
Hop BroIf you’re looking for an autumn plan in Shiga, there’s news of a Craft Beer Land appearance. Golden Rabbit Beer from Naramachi, Nara, is heading to Kusatsu and Otsu.
MugiWhat? A Nara brewery in Shiga? A chance to drink it outside Nara already makes this feel like a little trip!
Hop BroThe dates are September 12–13 in Kusatsu, then September 19–21 and October 10–12 in Otsu, all from noon until 7 p.m.. A beer under the autumn sky is a powerful idea.
MugiThree event runs across Kusatsu and Otsu—where exactly? I might follow the beer aroma to the wrong station!
Hop BroKusatsu is at Kusatsugawa Atochi Park de Ai Hiroba, and Otsu is at Nagisa Park Festival Plaza. Plus, beers from Shiga, Kyoto, and Nara will gather there, so I’m already drawing up a tasting plan.
MugiA tasting plan!? What is that—do I need an architect’s license before I can drink beer?
Hop BroNot at all! It just means starting lighter and moving gradually so flavors and aromas do not clash—the order of your tasting. No hard hat required.
MugiOhhh! Then I want Golden Rabbit Beer first. Which beer style are they bringing?
Hop BroThe specific beers and styles have not been announced yet, so watch social media. Still, the brewery focuses on brewing with Nara ingredients, which makes the reveal extra tempting.
MugiSo the lineup is a surprise until later! But there will be meat dishes, sweets, music, and even outdoor movies—waiting sounds fun too!
Hop BroThere’s also a bouncy dome for kids, making it a family-friendly beer event. Tasting a beer born from their brewery beneath the Naramachi taproom in a Shiga outdoor setting should be special.
MugiIt’s decided! I’ll check the latest vendor updates and prepare for a Shiga craft-beer toast in Kusatsu or Otsu. I want that autumn beer right now!

In addition to craft beer, the event will feature meat dishes, sweets, music performances, outdoor films, and an inflatable dome for children. The program is designed to appeal not only to beer enthusiasts but also to families looking for a relaxed outdoor event.
Golden Rabbit Beer operates a taproom in Naramachi, Nara City. The brewery focuses on making beers that draw on ingredients from Nara, with its brewing facility located beneath the taproom. Its concept also combines craft beer with the memory of music, allowing guests to enjoy beer alongside music played from vintage records.
For this event, visitors will be able to experience Golden Rabbit Beer in a different setting from its Nara taproom, while exploring beers from breweries across the Kansai region. Details on participating beers and the latest event updates are available through the organizers’ and Golden Rabbit Beer’s social media channels.
