A Kawasaki brewery heads to Yokohama

Pecora Beer, a small craft brewery in Asao Ward, Kawasaki, Kanagawa, will take part in Beer Festival Yokohama 2026. The two-day event will be held on September 12 and 13 at Osanbashi Hall in Yokohama Port.

The festival offers unlimited sampling of more than 200 beers with admission. The lineup is expected to include beers recognized at competitions such as the International Beer Cup 2025 and Japan Great Beer Awards 2026. Brewers and beer judges will also be on site, giving visitors an opportunity to ask for recommendations while exploring different styles.

Four beers planned for Pecora Beer’s booth

Pecora Beer plans to serve the following beers:

- Churro: California Common
- Bergamo: Other Hoppy Lager
- Ines: Fruit American-Style Sour Ale
- Spiegel: American-Style India Pale Ale

Pecora Beer is led by a representative who holds a beer judge qualification and focuses primarily on American-style beers with restrained bitterness, clean character, and a bold overall profile. The planned selection spans refreshing lager character, fruit-forward sourness, and hop-driven IPA character, offering festivalgoers a compact tour of the brewery’s range.

Limited quantities of Pecora Beer original merchandise will also be available at the booth. The brewery operates the attached taproom Pecora Beer Kitchen, where up to nine house beers are served. The festival will provide a chance to sample several of the Kawasaki brewery’s beers in one visit.
