MugiWhat! That sounds amazing! And new park venue means way more room to relax, right?
Hop BroExactly. The host is Minoh Brewery, a long-running brewery from Minoh that has been brewing since 1997 and has won gold at international competitions.
MugiOooh! But I noticed beer names and styles unannounced so far. That kind of makes me even more curious.
Hop BroSame here. Still, the event setup feels very Minoh: stay-all-day format, no timed entry swaps this year, and you can hang out freely from 11:00 to 17:00.
MugiThat is dangerous in the best way. But last call at 4:30 sounds like the kind of detail I would absolutely forget.
Hop BroThe ticket system is neat too. The mug set and ticket bundles are built around a 240ml exact pour, so one beer ticket matches one full serving.
MugiHold on, 240ml exact pour just sounded extremely beer-nerdy. What does that actually mean?
Hop BroSimple version: one ticket, one pour. It makes portions easy to understand and helps people sample more beers without overcommitting.
MugiOkay, I love that. And with re-entry plus bring-your-own chair, this sounds less like a rush and more like a proper picnic with beer.
Hop BroRight, and advance sales start at noon on July 10 through LivePocket only, so advance tickets are safest. Same-day tickets may be limited or not sold at all, and park admission is separate.
MugiI can already picture it: open air, good food, and cheers with Minoh Beer. September 20 and 21 suddenly feel way too far away.
Event Overview
Minoh Beer, the Osaka-based brewery founded in Minoh City, has announced advance ticket sales for its 2026 Thanksgiving Festival. The brewery has been making beer in Minoh since 1997 and has won gold medals in international competitions, making the festival one of its key annual community events.
This year, the venue moves from Osaka University Senba Campus to the Upper Plaza at Expo '70 Commemorative Park. The festival will take place on Sept. 20 and Sept. 21, with opening hours from 11:00 to 17:00. Reception opens at 10:00, and last call is at 16:30. Separate park admission is required in addition to the event ticket.
Ticket Details
Advance tickets will be sold only through LivePocket, and there will be no counter sales at the MINOH BEER WAREHOUSE shop. Three ticket types are available:
- Special mug + 5 beer tickets: 3,300 yen
- 3 beer tickets: 1,650 yen
- 5 beer tickets: 2,750 yen
Each beer ticket is worth 240 ml, and the special mug is sized to hold one ticket's worth of beer. Visitors who already have the 2025 festival mug or beer mug may bring it back, but mugs from 2024 or earlier and ordinary glassware or mugs will not be accepted.
Visitor Notes
Non-drinking companions may enter free of charge, but they must check in together with the ticket purchaser. Because advance-ticket holders are prioritized, same-day tickets may not be sold at all, or may be heavily limited, with same-day guidance expected around 13:00 to 14:00. Advance sales run from July 10 at 12:00 to Aug. 31 at 16:00.
The venue will be open for re-entry, and visitors may bring folding chairs or picnic sheets. Tents and tarps are not allowed, but the park setting should make it easier to spend time at a relaxed pace while enjoying beer and food.
Information may be inaccurate. Please refer to the brewery’s official channels for the latest details.
