The festival brings together a broad range of beers from Japan and overseas. The lineup also includes beers recognized at the International Beer Cup 2025 and the Japan Great Beer Awards 2026.

Nagano Minamikaze Beer traces its roots to a standing yakitori bar that opened in Namamugi, Tsurumi, Yokohama, in January 2010. The business moved back to Nagano City in 2016 and began operating as the current brewpub in December 2021. It obtained its brewing license in April 2022.
Located about an eight-minute walk from Nagano Station, the brewpub features a blue interior inspired by the seaside. Guests can enjoy house-made craft beer while looking at the brewing tanks from the counter. The food menu highlights Shinshu ingredients, including Shinshu salmon, lamb sausage from Shinshu-Shinmachi, and Shinshu-produced cured ham.
