Derailleur Brew Works (Osaka) was introduced as a participating brewery at the "Kyoto Yukari Craft Beer Festival 2026," to be held in Fushimi, Kyoto on May 2 and 3, 2026. The post also announced that the brewery's own directly managed store in Kyoto City, "Stand Umineko Koto," is scheduled to offer food at the event.
Hop BroHere's the news: Derailleur Brew Works is going to open at the "Kyoto Yukari Craft Beer Festival 2026"! It'll be held on May 2 and 3 at the Futsal Court at Fushimi Chikara no Yu.
MugiWhat! Craft beer after a bath? That's basically a championship-level event!
Hop BroAnd this time it's the biggest one yet, with 25 breweries expected to participate. Derailleur Brew Works from Nishinari, Osaka, will also be serving food from "Stand Umineko Koto" in the same tent.
MugiSeriously? So I can conquer beer and food at the same time? My stomach is applauding!
Hop BroI also want to look forward to ale styles like their signature "Nishinari Riot Ale." True to the name Derailleur, meaning "one who goes off the rails," it's a brewery that pushes ahead with ideas that stray from the conventional path.
MugiWait, does "going off the conventional path" mean the flavor gets lost? And what exactly is an ale style?
Hop BroNot lost, adventurous. Ale is a top-fermented style, so it tends to have a more expressive aroma. For a Riot Ale, they would likely be aiming for a balance between toastiness and the fresh aroma of hops.
MugiOhh! So it's basically "one sip after a bath and happiness just floats out through your nose," right?
Hop BroThat's actually pretty close. Hours are 11:00 to 20:00, last order at 19:30, with free admission and a ticket system. Tickets go on sale at Lawson Ticket from March 1, and there are three types: Standard, Premium, and Beginners.
MugiIf there's a Beginners ticket, even I can feel safe! It's only a 5-minute walk from Takeda Station, so Golden Week in Kyoto with post-bath craft beer and a toast with Hop-bro is a plan!
Hop BroExactly. First drink, Nishinari Riot Ale. Second drink, let's go find new encounters that "go off the rails" at the venue!

What Is Derailleur Brew Works?
On its official website, Derailleur Brew Works describes itself as "a collective of a craft beer factory and a planning/operations team established with a focus on Nishinari, a town where people enjoy drinking from the morning, and with the aim of recreating the Riot Ale recipe." True to its name, "Derailleur" (one who goes off the rails), the company's defining trait is its commitment to brewing with ideas that do not conform to existing frameworks.
Based in Osaka, the company offers everything from its flagship "Nishinari Riot Ale" to seasonal labels. At beer festival appearances like this one, a notable point is that visitors can enjoy not only the beers themselves but also food from its directly managed store. This is something to look forward to as a place to enjoy craft beer after a bath in Kyoto during Golden Week.
