Big Hand Bros Brewery to Exhibit at CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026 in Osaka on May 23 and 24
Big Hand Bros Brewery, which brews beer in Kyoto’s Nishijin district with classic British styles at its core, announced that it will be exhibiting at "CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026," held on May 23 and 24 at Osaka Nanko. The event will bring together 53 breweries from Kansai and will also feature food and stage programs.
Hop BroKyoto’s Nishijin-based Big Hand Bros Brewery is coming to a May event in Osaka. Since it centers on classic British styles, it feels like this will be more than just an event booth - it sounds like a beer with real character is coming.
MugiWait, a Kyoto brewery is coming to Osaka!? And it’s CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026 - even the name sounds like it’s going to be a big deal!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is Osaka Nanko ATC Piroti Plaza, and it’s a two-day event on Saturday, May 23 and Sunday, May 24. With 53 breweries from Kansai gathering, the place should be packed with beer.
Mugi53 breweries!? That’s basically a beer theme park. Early-bird tickets get you priority entry one hour earlier - that’s like a reward just for waking up early!
Hop BroWhat’s more, this brewery is known for British styles popular in the UK. It centers on ales, while also mixing in American styles and lagers, so it has a lot of range.
MugiBritish styles? Wait, what’s that! When you say ale is the core, it sounds like the backbone of the beer world, which is cool, but I can’t picture it at all!
Hop BroSimply put, these are beers that tend to focus on aroma and depth of flavor. And because they make small batches in a basement in Kyoto’s Nishijin area, the result is more carefully defined than flashy.
MugiSmall batches in a basement!? That sounds like a secret base! And they name their labels after minerals - suddenly it feels like a geology class is about to start in the middle of a beer article!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. If you taste it while keeping the name in mind, you don’t just drink it - you can also see the background of the brewer, which makes it much more worthwhile at an event.
MugiI see! If there’s food and stage events too, one day may not be enough. First I want to hunt for their distinctive Kyoto beer, then do some eating and drinking around!
Hop BroThat’s the plan. Comparing Kansai breweries in Osaka and then finishing with a Big Hand Bros pour is an irresistibly drinkable flow, isn’t it?
