Osaka Shibuya Beer to Exhibit at Nanko ATC's "CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026" on May 23 and 24
Osaka Shibuya Beer will exhibit at the craft beer event "CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026," held at Nanko ATC Piloti Square on May 23 and 24. This annual gathering brings together breweries from across the Kansai region, and attention is also focused on the company’s background and staple beers.
Hop BroOn May 23 and 24, Osaka Shibuya Beer will be at CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026 at Nanko ATC. A whole lineup of Kansai breweries is gathering, so the venue is going to feel like a sea of beer.
MugiWhat, that many!? More than 50 breweries participating? That’s basically the national election of beer festivals!
Hop BroExactly. And the best part is that the brewers themselves are serving the beer. Getting to ask the brewer what they were aiming for when they brewed it is the best part.
MugiWhat, that’s way deeper than a normal event. So Osaka Shibuya Beer is a small brewery in Fujiidera, right?
Hop BroThat’s right. It’s about a 10-minute walk from Fujiidera Station. And on its official site, it introduces its history as inheriting the lineage of Japan's brewed beer, so even its background is interesting.
MugiWow! So it has that kind of pedigree. Then its flagship beer, Kawachi no Ale, must be something special too!
Hop BroExactly, and the key is that it uses peel from Unshu mandarins. They make use of the peel from thinned fruit, really turning local ingredients into beer.
MugiThinned fruit? Wait, this is suddenly starting to sound like an agriculture lesson. You mean mandarins that were thinned out?
Hop BroYes, they’re using mandarins that come from thinning the fruit. That’s why the aroma comes through not as just a fruity flavor, but as the character of a local ingredient, which is what makes it interesting.
MugiI see, so it’s not just fruitiness, but tasty because of the story behind it too. And if you can sample more than 300 kinds at the venue, that’s definitely not enough stomach space!
Hop BroThere’ll also be food like pizza, gyoza, and yakitori, so it feels like you can enjoy the whole of Kansai over two days. This is the kind of event that makes you want to toast with a Kawachi no Ale in hand.
MugiIt’s settled! That day, I’m going to Nanko ATC and drink my way through the Kansai craft beer festival. I’m going all in from the very first glass!
Osaka Shibuya Beer, a brewery in Fujiidera, Osaka, will take part in the craft beer event "CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026," held at Osaka's Nanko ATC on May 23 and 24. The venue is ATC Piloti Square, where breweries from the Kansai region's two prefectures and four prefectures gather for this annual event, with brewers themselves serving the beer.
More than 50 breweries will participate in the event as a whole, and visitors will be able to enjoy more than 300 kinds of craft beer. The food area will feature 10 vendors serving pizza, gyoza, yakitori, and more, while the stage will host live performances by brewers and toast-themed events. One of the attractions of this event is the chance to compare craft beers while speaking directly with the people who make them.
Osaka Shibuya Beer is a small brewery located about a 10-minute walk from Fujiidera Station. On its official website, the company presents its history as inheriting the lineage of Japan's first brewed beer made by Japanese hands. Its standard beer, "Kawachi no Ale," is characterized by the use of peel from thinned Unshu mandarins, and making products that make the most of local ingredients is one of the brewery's strengths.
At this exhibition as well, there is a chance visitors will be able to taste these regionally rooted beers at the venue. With the highly accessible Nanko ATC as the setting, the two days are shaping up to be a chance to fully enjoy Kansai's craft beer culture in one place.
