Hiwasa Beer to Join Women Brewers’ Craft Beer Event in Takamatsu on September 5
Hiwasa Beer from Minami, Tokushima, will take part in “A Holiday to Enjoy Women Brewers’ Beer in Takamatsu” on September 5, 2026, at Sunport Takamatsu. The event brings together beers from women brewers across western Japan, along with food stalls.
Hop BroI’ve got an event worth talking about today. On September 5, Takamatsu is hosting a women brewers beer event, and Tokushima’s Hiwasa Beer will be there.
MugiWhat, really?! That sounds fun! Where is it? If it’s close to Takamatsu Station, I could totally swing by.
Hop BroIt’s at the west walkway of Sunport Takamatsu Symbol Tower, from 11:00 to 17:00. And get this, it’s a four brewery lineup from Kagawa, Tokushima, Okayama, and Hyogo.
MugiOooh, nice! Even the name Hiwasa Beer makes me want to travel. What kind of brewery is it? I’m seriously curious now.
Hop BroHiwasa Beer is based in Hiwasa, Minami Town in Tokushima, and they brew in a barn on the grounds of an old shipping merchant site. Their thing is using local ingredients in a really intentional way.
MugiThat already sounds like a movie set! But what do you mean by local ingredients? I’m making my what is an adjunct face right now!
Hop BroAn adjunct is basically an ingredient beyond malt and hops that adds character. Hiwasa Beer uses deep seawater and Awa bancha, so the beer carries a real sense of place.
MugiWait, seawater and tea in beer?! That is a lot to process! So this is the kind of event that’s perfect for a compare and taste session, right?
Hop BroExactly. The article says the beer names and styles aren’t announced yet, but that makes the day-of reveal more fun. And with curry and fried pizza at the food booths, it’s basically locked in.
MugiI’m done for, my stomach and my beer brain are both awake now! September 5 sounds like a daytime craft beer mission to go drink whatever Hiwasa Beer brings.
On September 5, 2026, “A Holiday to Enjoy Women Brewers’ Beer in Takamatsu” will be held at the west passage of the Symbol Tower in Sunport Takamatsu, Kagawa. The event runs from 11:00 to 17:00 and features four breweries: Fukushige Shokuhin Beer Brewing Dept. (Kagawa), Hiwasa Beer (Tokushima), LAMP BEER STUDIO (Okayama), and 47forty-sevenbrewery (Hyogo).
Hiwasa Beer is based in the Hiwasa district of Minami Town, Tokushima. Its brewery uses a renovated storehouse on the grounds of the historic Taniya, a former shipping merchant house. The brewery is known for incorporating local ingredients such as subterranean seawater and Awa bancha tea, giving its beers a clear regional identity.
The Takamatsu event offers a chance to taste beers from different parts of western Japan in one place. It will also feature food booths from the Sunport Marche, so visitors can pair beer with lunch or snacks throughout the afternoon. Reported food vendors include curry, asparagus rolls, fried pizza, shaved ice, and more.
Craft beer events like this are appealing because each brewery expresses bitterness, aroma, malt character, and acidity differently. With women brewers at the center, the lineup is likely to highlight not only brewing technique but also the connection between each beer and its local setting.
For Hiwasa Beer, the event is also an opportunity to introduce beers shaped in the seaside town of Minami to a wider audience. Since the venue is close to Takamatsu Station, it should be an accessible stop for anyone interested in tasting regional craft beer across Shikoku and beyond.
