Tanba Sasayama Zigzag Brewery Publishes May Event Schedule, with Appearances at Three Venues
Tanba Sasayama Zigzag Brewery announced its May appearance schedule on Instagram. The brewery is set to appear at events in Akashi, the Kobe area, and Osaka Nanko, continuing its effort to deliver a “glass of happiness” from its small brewery in Fukusumi.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Tanba Sasayama Zigzag Brewery and its newly announced May event schedule. Just the idea of carrying beer from a small brewery in Fukusumi all the way to Akashi and Osaka is exciting in itself.
MugiWait! Delivering from Fukusumi? It’s coming from that far up in the mountains!? Somehow that alone already makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a microbrewery based in Fukusumi, Tanba-Sasayama City, and its strength is making a wide range of beers in small batches. What’s more, it uses more than 10 different yeast strains, so even the same brewery can show a very different character.
MugiMore than 10!? Is using different yeasts really that important? I always thought yeast was something you only associate with bread!
Hop BroIt matters a lot. Yeast doesn’t just drive fermentation in beer; it also affects the aroma and flavor impression, so the choice can change the beer’s personality quite a bit. That’s why they can enjoy everything from hop-forward IPAs to rich tripels and soft, wheat-driven weizens through free-form brewing.
MugiAhhh! So it’s basically a different personality within the same brewery. That’s kind of fun, like someone whose personality changes every time you meet them!
Hop BroExactly. And May has a solid lineup of event appearances. First is Lohas Meets Akashi 2nd from May 4 to 6, then Seseragi Marche on May 10, and finally Craft Beer Live 2026 on May 23 and 24.
MugiWhoa, they’re going to that many places!? Three venues? That’s basically a beer nationwide tour!
Hop BroAnd the vehicle doing the deliveries is the Shiawase no Ippai Go. It’s not just about bringing beer to the venue; it also helps shape the atmosphere there, which feels very true to Zigzag Brewery’s style.
MugiNow that you say that, I’m done for. It makes me want to start planning my schedule! I want to go to Akashi and Osaka Nanko, and today I want to check the event dates while drinking a beer!
Hop BroI get it. Planning beer outings is its own kind of enjoyment. So for the next weekend, let’s raise a glass while imagining which venue will offer what kind of beer.
MugiYeah, just picturing a glass from Fukusumi makes me want to drink. If I actually meet one at the venue, it’s definitely going to be delicious.

ZIGZAG Brewery’s signature is that it never sticks to the same style each time, instead brewing IPA, tripel, weizen, and more with a free approach to recipe design. As for the beer cart that handles event appearances, Shiawase no Ippai Go (“The Glass of Happiness”) is also described on the official website as serving the role of “bringing beer to places where people gather,” including helping shape the atmosphere of the venue.
This May schedule connects events from the Akashi market to beer gatherings in Osaka. A glass brewed at the Tanba Sasayama brewery will reach different drinkers at each venue, and beer fans will want to keep an eye on the schedule for the chance to plan their visits around it.
