Craft Bank to Open at Two May Events in Saitama Shintoshin and Osaka Nanko
Kyoto-Fukuchiyama craft beer brand Craft Bank has announced its May event schedule. From May 13 to 17, it will take part in the Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival, and from May 23 to 24, it will appear at CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026, serving beer at locations around the region as early summer approaches.
Hop BroFukuchiyama-based Craft Bank is on an event-heavy run in May. Being able to meet them in both Saitama Shintoshin and Osaka Nanko is pretty exciting, right?
MugiWait, they're at two venues? Going all over the place like a beer expedition unit!
Hop BroFirst up is the Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival, from May 13 to 17, 2026. It's their first spring appearance at Japan's largest-scale event.
MugiWow, hearing it's their first spring appearance already makes it feel special. And they're there with Torinago from Fukuchiyama too? That sounds like beer and food won't stop!
Hop BroExactly. Their official slogan is "Let's do something with a beer in hand." I like that Craft Bank is creating a place where people can enjoy seven kinds of craft beer and food.
MugiSeven kinds and still calling it place-making? That's not a bar anymore, it's like a full-blown culture festival. And a former bank site? That's seriously cool!
Hop BroThat former bank site is part of the charm. A brewery with a story in its location feels like it adds depth to the flavor before you even take a sip.
MugiWhat is that, something where you can drink the atmosphere of the place too? The romance is so strong my hand is shaking holding this glass!
Hop BroNext is CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026, from May 23 to 24 at ATC Piroti Plaza in Osaka Nanko. It's a pretty spectacular gathering with 55 Kansai breweries all in one place.
Mugi55 breweries? That's like the Kansai all-out battle! If Craft Bank is in the mix, the tasting is going to be so busy I can only laugh.
Hop BroFrom Fukuchiyama to Saitama Shintoshin and Osaka Nanko, this is definitely worth following. If you drink an early-summer beer there, you'll probably start thinking about your next one on the way home.
MugiGot it, I'll be watching this month's event info closely. If I go, I bet I'll want to toast Craft Bank's beer with Torinago too!
Craft Bank, which brews craft beer from its base on the site of a former bank in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, has announced its May event schedule. On its official website, the brand says it is building places where people can enjoy seven kinds of craft beer and food under the slogan, "Let's do something with a beer in hand."
The announcement names two venues. The first is the Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival, held at Keyaki Hiroba in Saitama Shintoshin from Wednesday, May 13, 2026, through Sunday, May 17. The post says this is the brand's first spring appearance at one of Japan's largest craft beer events, and that it will help liven up Saitama together with Torinago, a famed Fukuchiyama restaurant known for duck hot pot.
The second is CRAFT BEER LIVE 2026, taking place from Saturday, May 23, 2026, to Sunday, May 24. The venue is ATC Piroti Plaza in Osaka Nanko, and the event is presented as one of Kansai's long-running craft beer gatherings. The post says it will bring together 55 Kansai breweries, and Craft Bank will be joining that circle.
From its brewery in Fukuchiyama to Saitama Shintoshin and Osaka Nanko, the regionally rooted brewery is creating more opportunities to connect directly with beer fans in different places. A beer poured at a storefront or event venue can make the brewery's character and the feel of the local area especially easy to experience. If you keep track of this month's event schedule, it will be harder to miss a chance to try Craft Bank's beer.
