Hop BroHere’s a booth update worth watching in Dazaifu! Dazaifu Brewery is going to "Dazaifu Ume no Ichi 2026."
MugiWait, craft beer at a plum-themed event!? That sounds like so much fun!
Hop BroIt runs on Monday, February 23, 2026, a national holiday, from 10:00 to 16:00 at Miyamachi-dori Park. They’re planning to open plum bottle beer and serve it there.
MugiHuh. But if it’s “opened and served,” does that mean it’s not the usual pour-from-the-tap thing?
Hop BroThat part matters! There won’t be any tap service this time. It’s bottle service only. And payment is cash only, so that’s definitely something to note.
MugiWhat! “No tap service” sounds like industry jargon all of a sudden! Explain it in beginner-friendly terms!
Hop BroBasically, it means they won’t use a draft-beer tap system. They’ll serve the beer from opened bottles. Event-style service, in other words!
MugiGot it! So what about souvenirs? I want to keep enjoying the afterglow at home!
Hop BroThey’re planning to sell a set of three standard beers. As a brewery in the approach-road area, they offer staples like pale ale and IPA, and they also make plum-inspired beers, so the local flavor comes through clearly.
MugiStrolling around Dazaifu, drinking plum beer from a bottle, then buying a three-beer set on the way back... that’s too perfect! Big hop bro, my throat is already getting craftier!
Hop BroThat’s the first time I’ve heard that expression, but I love it! A drink that’s uniquely Dazaifu in plum season? We’ve got to go drink this together.

Dazaifu Ume no Ichi is a market held as part of Dazaifu City's "ume" project, bringing together food and drinks themed around plums. Dazaifu Brewery's participation is also noteworthy as an effort to layer craft beer onto the tourism context of Dazaifu.
The brewery is based in the Dazaifu Tenmangu shrine approach area and offers a lineup that reflects the local character. In addition to staple pale ales and IPAs, it also works on beers inspired by plums, and this appearance seems likely to be a natural fit between the theme of "Dazaifu, the town of plums" and its brewing approach.
Because the service format and payment method on the day of the event will differ from regular business, visitors planning to attend would be wise to check in advance. In plum season, it looks set to be a day to enjoy a drink unique to Dazaifu along with a stroll through the town.
