Hanaten Brewery Shukujitsu Bakushu announced the 20s-only event “CRAFT BEER U-30” on Instagram. According to the post, it will be held on March 25 from 7:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., with 2 hours of all-you-can-drink plus one plate included, and the participation fee is 4,000 yen. Those wishing to join should contact them by DM or at the store.

The announcement is designed around the idea of connecting people in their 20s, assuming interests such as “I’m curious about craft beer but don’t really understand it,” “I want friends to go to beer fests with,” and “I want to meet beer lovers my age.” It is an invitation that takes beginners and solo attendees into account, opening the door not only to people already familiar with beer, but also to those just starting to explore craft beer.

The shop is located in the shopping street in front of Hanaten Station in Osaka, and the shopping street’s official website معرفی it as a standing beer bar attached to a craft beer brewery. It operates with separate hours for weekdays and weekends/holidays, and in addition to house-made craft beer, it also offers bottled beer to go. By positioning craft beer as not only something to drink on special occasions but also as a casual option in everyday routines, it has built the foundation for this networking event.

The brewery was also listed as a participating brewery in Kansai’s large-scale event “CRAFT BEER LIVE,” showing that even as a local shop, it has maintained connections with outside events. This U-30 event is drawing attention as an extension of those activities, and as an effort to cultivate the next community of drinkers.
