Hiwasa Beer to join Takamatsu event featuring women brewers on Sept. 5
Hiwasa Beer, based in Minami, Tokushima, will take part in “A Holiday Enjoying Beers by Women Brewers in Takamatsu” on September 5, 2026, at the west passage of Symbol Tower in Sunport Takamatsu. The event brings together beers from women brewers across western Japan, alongside market-style food stalls.
Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: Hiwasa Beer heads to Takamatsu. On September 5, 2026, they’re joining an event at Sunport Takamatsu featuring beers brewed by women.
MugiWhat! A women brewers lineup? That’s basically a festival for craft beer fans! Takamatsu is getting something seriously fun.
Hop BroAnd Hiwasa Beer is a tiny brewery in Minami, Tokushima, working out of a 20-square-meter brewhouse. They even renovated a shed next to the registered cultural property Tannya, which is a great detail.
MugiNo way, shed-to-brewery conversion? That’s romantic! But 20 square meters sounds so small I’d hit a wall in three excited steps.
Hop BroThey do everything by hand from brewing to bottling, and each batch is just 200 to 300 liters. That’s what people call a small batch, and it makes it easier to keep the beer expressive.
MugiHold on, small batch? Suddenly we’re in fancy beer vocabulary! It sounds cool, but my brain wants the easy version.
Hop BroSimple version: it means making a little very carefully. With a hands-on setup like Hiwasa Beer, the local ingredients from southern Tokushima and the brewer’s intent can show up more clearly in the flavor.
MugiThen I need to know which beers are pouring. Do we have names or styles yet?
Hop BroNot yet, because the beer list isn’t announced. The article doesn’t give styles either, but the four-brewery lineup with Hiwasa Beer, LAMP BEER STUDIO, Fukushige Shokuhin Bakushu Jozobu, and 47forty-seven brewary is the main draw.
MugiAnd they’ve got a stacked food lineup too? Curry, meat-wrapped asparagus, fried pizza... this event is attacking my stomach on purpose.
Hop BroIt runs on the west walkway of Sunport Takamatsu Symbol Tower from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m., and I’m already picturing my first pour. A daytime marche with beer and snacks is a very hard thing to say no to.
MugiI’m done for, I want a tasting flight now! Starting with Hiwasa Beer and then circling through all those women brewers from western Japan sounds perfect.
