MEGA VEGAS Collaboration Beer Premier Tapping at Whity Umeda, Revived Seltzer Too
At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda, early tapping of two collaboration beers made for the music festival "MEGA VEGAS 2026" began on March 14. In addition, last year’s collaboration release, "Mega Tropical Seltzer," is also being brought back.
Hop BroThere’s hot buzz in the Umeda underground: MEGA VEGAS early tapping started on March 14.
MugiWait, you can already drink it before the festival? Whity Umeda store sounds like a place I could stop by after work!
Hop BroAnd for the festival hosted by Kobe’s Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas, CRAFTROCK BREWING produced two collaboration beers.
MugiWhat? What does early tapping mean? How is it different from a normal release?
Hop BroBasically, it means hooking up the keg and serving it ahead of the main event. In a beer pub, it’s like getting the tap in early.
MugiOhhh! And the revived Mega Tropical Seltzer they mentioned, is that beer?
Hop BroIt’s less beer and more a hard seltzer style with a light fruity feel. It’s a return of last year’s collaboration, so people who wanted another taste are thrilled.
MugiA B1F spot you can hit while shopping is the best, and with great underground access, it’s perfect for festival prep too!
Hop BroThe festival itself is on March 20 and 21, 2026, so tasting them before and after should make the whole thing even more exciting.
MugiIt’s decided! Hop-nii and I both want a drink right now. Let’s prep with the two collaboration beers and the seltzer!
At Craft Beer Market Whity Umeda (inside Whity Umeda NOMOKA in Kita Ward, Osaka City), early tapping of the "MEGA VEGAS 2026" collaboration beers has begun.
According to the post, CRAFTROCK BREWING produced two festival beers for the event, which is hosted by the Kobe band Fear, and Loathing in Las Vegas. Since this shop is also part of the CRAFTROCK BREWING group, guests can taste them in advance starting March 14, before the festival itself.
Also worth noting is the revival of "Mega Tropical Seltzer," which first appeared as last year’s collaboration beer. The lineup should appeal both to first-timers and to anyone who wanted to drink it again.
In addition to its convenient access from the underground mall, the shop is a beer pub where craft beer is easy to enjoy in everyday life. It’s also a good place to stop by after shopping or work and grab the collaboration taps as pre-event preparation.
The post also says that MEGA VEGAS 2026 will be held on March 20 and March 21, 2026. It seems like a fun way to compare the drinks before and after the festival.
