Hop BroI want to talk about Autumn Kyushu Craft Beer Stadium today. From September 4 to 6, 2026, Nagasaki Stadium City is hosting an event where craft beer from all seven Kyushu prefectures comes together.
MugiWhat! All seven prefectures together? That already sounds like a whole trip, just with more beer! And it runs for three full days?
Hop BroExactly, there will be 10 breweries total, and since it's held on the stadium concourse, you can enjoy it without stressing about the weather.
MugiWhoa, safe from the weather? Then even a rain magnet like me can relax! So who's the big local name from Nagasaki?
Hop BroThe hometown standout is THE STADIUM BREWS NAGASAKI. It's based inside Nagasaki Stadium City, and the symbolic part is that it can serve fresh beer brewed right by the soccer stadium.
MugiWait, brewed inside a stadium? What is that supposed to look like, barley doing squats under the seats?!
Hop BroNot quite. It means brewery attached on-site, so the brewing setup is close by and they can serve fresher craft beer more easily.
MugiOhhh, so you can sip a just-brewed pint and compare the differences between prefectures too. Do we know the beer names or styles yet?
Hop BroAccording to the article, beer names not announced yet. But that makes the event feel even more fun, especially with a blind tasting championship for five beers and a stamp rally prize draw.
MugiA blind beer contest? That got serious fast! If local food is involved too, I can absolutely pretend I'm studying while drinking a lot.
Hop BroBlind tasting is basically a compare-and-guess challenge. You identify beers by aroma and flavor, and the schedule is easy to plan around: 5 p.m. on September 4, then 11 a.m. on September 5 and 6.
MugiI seriously want to toast in Nagasaki now! Fresh pours from THE STADIUM BREWS NAGASAKI plus beers from all over Kyushu? Even choosing my first drink sounds exciting!
A three-day showcase of Kyushu craft beer
Nagasaki Stadium City will hold the Autumn Kyushu Craft Beer Stadium from September 4 to 6, 2026. The event takes place on the Peace Stadium concourse, giving visitors a weather-proof setting to enjoy beer and food. In its fourth edition, the festival brings together 10 breweries selected from across all seven Kyushu prefectures.
Local representation from The Stadium Brews Nagasaki
The Stadium Brews Nagasaki, based in Nagasaki City at Nagasaki Stadium City, is one of the local breweries featured in the lineup. As a restaurant-brewery located inside a soccer stadium, it offers freshly brewed craft beer in a setting closely tied to the venue itself. That connection between stadium and brewery is one of the event’s most distinctive points.
Food pairings and special activities
Alongside the beer lineup, the event will feature local foods chosen to pair well with craft beer. Visitors can explore different styles from around Kyushu while matching each pour with regional dishes.
Two special programs add another layer to the event. A stamp rally offers prize drawings for participants, and the first-ever Kyushu Craft Beer Tasting Challenge invites guests to identify five beers by appearance, aroma, and taste. Those who answer all questions correctly will receive an original beer glass.
