Aoshima Craft to join Miyazaki Craft Beer Expo and Midsummer Meat Festival
Aoshima Craft announced on Instagram that it will once again take part in the Miyazaki Craft Beer Expo and Midsummer Meat Festival at Amu Hiroba. The event runs from August 7 to 16 and brings together local craft beer and food in central Miyazaki.
Hop BroMiyazaki’s summer scene is about to heat up. Aoshima Craft is joining the Miyazaki Craft Beer Expo & Midsummer Meat Festival, and that sounds like a strong combo already.
MugiWhat! I’m hungry just hearing the name! A craft beer expo with a meat festival attached is basically dangerous in the best way.
Hop BroIt runs August 7 to 16, 2026 at Amu Hiroba, right by JR Miyazaki Station. Hours are 12 p.m. to 10 p.m., except the last day, August 16, which ends at 9 p.m.
MugiNice! Easy to get to, and daytime drinking is officially on the table. And happy hour from 2 to 4 p.m.? My self-control just left the building.
Hop BroIt gets better: the venue packs in 10 craft beer booths plus 14 food vendors. You can mix beer with meat, international dishes, and even cold sweets.
MugiNo way, that’s a full-day mission! But what kind of brewery is Aoshima Craft? That Aoshima vibe part really has me curious.
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. Aoshima Craft makes local-inspired craft ales built around the area’s ocean, nature, surfing, and golf mood. One signature beer is Aoshima Surf Ale, made with Nichinan lemon.
MugiNichinan lemon already sounds like a win. But when you say Earl Grey or hebesu, I immediately go into what is an adjunct mode over here!
Hop BroIt means ingredients added beyond malt and hops to create character. Aoshima Turf Ale with Earl Grey is aromatic, while Jidori Ale, themed around Miyazaki chicken and hebesu, has easy-drinking local character.
MugiOkay, I get it now, it’s like turning local flavor into beer. Pair that with meat and it’s over for me. I’m already ready to toast with Surf Ale.
Hop BroThat’s the right plan. Drinking Aoshima Craft in the Miyazaki summer with a plate of meat sounds like a clear win. This is absolutely a taste-comparison mission.
MugiDone. We go early, hit happy hour, and then order our favorite again at the end. Just imagining it makes me want a beer right now!
