MugiA brewery in a bank? So they deposit malt instead of money?
Hop BroNice idea, but not quite! Its first floor has a brewery and brewpub, turning the old building into a place for people to gather.
MugiWow—there is coworking space and a rooftop terrace too. That bank building transformed completely!

MugiDRUNKABILITY... that word almost made my tongue tipsy! So it means flavorful yet easy-drinking, right?
Hop BroExactly. The founders trained in brewing and sanitation at Miyazaki Hideji Beer, aiming for a delicate flavor balance.
MugiThe event lineup is still to come, but now I want to visit Nijo on September 25!
Hop BroTheir motto is, “Let’s do something with beer in hand.” First, we should toast with Fukuchiyama beer.

Craft Bank, a craft brewery based in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto, will participate in “Yoru BiVi—KYOTO BEER NIGHT MARKET” at BiVi Nijo. The event is scheduled for Friday, September 25, 2026, from 4:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the facility’s outdoor area on the east side.
The announcement is the first installment in a series introducing the breweries taking part in the event. Craft Bank is known for brewing in a former bank building in Fukuchiyama. Its site includes a brewery and brewpub on the first floor, as well as a coworking space, event space, and rooftop terrace.
The brewery was founded by Daichi Haboshi, a Fukuchiyama native, and Kensuke Shoda, who had worked on community development in the city. After studying brewing, yeast cultivation, equipment design, and sanitation at Hideji Beer in Nobeoka, Miyazaki, the pair renovated the former bank building largely through their own efforts and opened Craft Bank in 2022.
Craft Bank’s guiding phrase is “Let’s do something, beer in hand.” Its philosophy, “DRUNKABILITY,” combines the ideas of drinkability and the enjoyment of getting pleasantly drunk. The brewery seeks to make beers with distinctive character that remain easy to enjoy over several glasses, while creating opportunities for people to connect.
Details such as the beers and serving format planned for the market have not yet been announced. Located next to Nijo Station, BiVi Nijo will offer visitors a chance to enjoy Fukuchiyama-brewed beer in central Kyoto.
