O/A NAGASAKI CRAFT BEER, a microbrewery in Nagasaki City, will take part in TENJIN NIKU BEER FES (Tenjin Meat Beer Fest), held on April 18 and 19 at the area in front of the Kihinkan in Fukuoka’s Tenjin Central Park.

The brewery began brewing in May 2022 in Mezame-machi, Nagasaki City. For this event, it will offer a lineup designed to pair well with meat dishes, including refreshing beers made with Nagasaki’s specialty citrus fruits and IPAs with a firm hop presence.

Highlights at the Event

Tenjin Meat Beer Fest is an event where visitors can enjoy meat specialties from across Kyushu and craft beer all at once. O/A NAGASAKI CRAFT BEER’s booth should be a good opportunity to convey the brewery’s strength in emphasizing food pairings.

The bright aroma derived from citrus and the distinctive bitterness and aroma of an IPA pair well with event staples such as grilled meat, skewers, and sausages. Rather than just drinking beer on its own, visitors can enjoy discovering how it complements the food.

This expansion from Nagasaki to Fukuoka is also noteworthy as an example of a small, locally rooted brewery making its presence known through events across Kyushu. For anyone looking for a beer that pairs well with meat dishes, this is a booth worth visiting.
