Hanaten Brewery Holiday Beer in Osaka's Tsurumi Ward will hold the "Hanaten Beer Fest" over two days, Saturday, June 13, and Sunday, June 14, at Hanaten Sakaemachi Shopping Street in front of JR Hanaten Station.

This announcement shows that the venue uses vacant spaces in the shopping street, and its arcade-style setting makes it easy to enjoy even in rainy weather. Admission is free, the brewery is cashless, and food and merchandise will also be available, making it a place you can stroll through alongside the beer.

According to the post, brewing for the event began in early May, and at Holiday Beer's booth, visitors are expected to enjoy about six craft beers in total, from the staple "Katen Ale" to the new "Flower and Green Saison". True to a brewery that continues to brew in Osaka's Tsurumi Ward, it is carrying on efforts to bring the town and beer closer together through events staged in the local shopping street.

The participating breweries include Derailleur Brew Works, Hare no Kuni Brewery, Mame Mame Beer, Lamp Beer Studio, Hiwasa Beer, Milestone Brewing, Good Wolf Beer, Akashi Beer Workshop Toki, and Hanaten Brewery Holiday Beer. Centered on local breweries from Osaka, the lineup brings together a wide range of names from nearby areas as far as the Seto Inland Sea, Shikoku, San'in, and Hyogo.

As an event where you can enjoy the revival of the shopping street and the fun of craft beer at the same time, it also looks like a chance to get a sense of the Hanaten area's present-day character.
