Quartet Brewing announces June's Nippon Craft Beer Fest 2026
Quartet Brewing in Karuizawa Town, Nagano Prefecture, announced on Instagram the "Nippon Craft Beer Festival 2026 in Sumida," to be held on June 13 and 14. It will be a craft beer event in Tokyo bringing together more than 40 beer labels from 20 companies.
Hop BroKaruizawa's Quartet Brewing announced on Instagram that June's Sumida event is happening. You're already wondering what kind of encounters there'll be in Tokyo, right?
MugiWait, they're announcing from Karuizawa and the event is in Tokyo!? More than 40 beers from 20 companies is basically a beer lover's culture festival!
Hop BroIt's on June 13 and 14 at the Sumida Sangyo Kaikan Event Hall. It's a two-day event, 11:00 to 16:00 both days, with advance tickets at 4,300 yen for both days.
MugiAdvance tickets for both days means one ticket gets you in on both days? Hearing two-day pass makes it sound kind of advanced-user level!
Hop BroExactly. And Quartet Brewing runs a brewery and taproom on Karuizawa Hondori, and its strength is that you can see the faces behind the brewing.
MugiOhhh! Taproom means a place where you can drink there, right? Just the fact that it's directly operated makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroExactly. A brewery is where the beer is made, and a taproom is where they pour and serve it. At an event, unlike at the usual shop, the nice part is how easy it is to compare different labels.
MugiWow, faced with more than 40 labels, I'd never be able to choose! I'd fall into the rabbit hole of comparison tasting and before I know it, I'd be interested in all of them!
Hop BroThat's the fun of craft beer. The post also invites not just repeat visitors but first-timers too, and you can really feel that first-timers welcome vibe.
MugiDefinitely, an event like that feels easy to go to! It sounds like you can do a mini tour of breweries across the country all at once, so exciting!
Hop BroI'm looking forward to what Quartet Brewing, which brews daily in Karuizawa, will pour in Tokyo. This is definitely the kind of event that makes you want to grab a beer.
MugiYeah, I'm totally in that mood too! If we toast in Sumida, it'll definitely be amazing.
Quartet Brewing is a craft beer brewery operating a brewery and taproom on Karuizawa Hondori in Karuizawa Town, Nagano Prefecture. This time, it used Instagram to announce the June "Nippon Craft Beer Festival 2026 in Sumida."
According to the post, the event will be held over two days, Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14. The venue is the Sumida Sangyo Kaikan Event Hall, and hours are 11:00 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. on both days. Advance tickets are 4,300 yen for both days combined, and more than 40 beers from 20 Japanese craft beer makers will be available.
In Quartet Brewing's post, it invited not only regulars but also first-time attendees to come. The post clearly conveys the event's character as a chance to sample beers from breweries across Japan all in one place.
For this brewery, which makes beer daily in Karuizawa and serves it in its taproom, a large event in Tokyo is also a venue to bring its beer to a wider audience. In a context different from its usual store operations, the appeal of this event seems to be the chance to encounter beers with the brewers' faces behind them.
