The collaboration beer between FC Osaka and Hanazono Craft has been decided as "Vamos Craft ~HANAZONO Edition~". On FC Osaka's official Instagram, it was introduced as an initiative ahead of the first match of the playoff round in the Meiji Yasuda J2/J3 Hundred-Year Vision League, against Reilac Shiga FC.

Hanazono Craft is a specialty shop for Japanese craft beer based in Higashiosaka, Osaka. On its official website, it says it uses water filtered through a dedicated purification system, along with malt, hops, and yeast carefully selected from around the world, and makes beers that put the quality of the ingredients front and center. Its regular lineup includes Origin Lager and Weizen, and it also puts effort into collaborations and limited releases.

This collaboration beer is currently on sale at Hanazono Craft, located along the route from Higashi-Hanazono Station to Hanazono Rugby Stadium. According to FC Osaka's post, it is intended as a drink to enjoy before heading to the stadium, but because it is a bottled product, it cannot be brought inside the venue.

Initiatives like this, which connect a soccer match day with a neighborhood brewery, make the experience of drinking beer locally itself part of the stadium outing. For Hanazono Craft as well, it can be seen as an effort by a community-rooted brewery to propose a beer that pairs well with sports.
