Minoh Brewery (Minoh Beer), based in Minoh, Osaka, announced that it will hold its regular event, the "Minoh Beer Thanksgiving Festival 2026." The venue will be the "Upper Plaza" in Expo ’70 Commemorative Park in neighboring Suita, Osaka. The event will take place on Sunday, September 20, 2026, and Monday, September 21, a national holiday, and this year marks the milestone 29th anniversary.

On Instagram, the company announced that this year’s Thanksgiving Festival, which in recent years had been held in October, will have changes to both its date and venue. It will move from the former "Senba-Hankyu Plaza" to a spot where visitors can toast on a wider expanse of grass, and the time and other details are still being worked out, with more information to be announced once finalized.

Minoh Beer is a craft brewery based in Minoh, Osaka, and is known for making beer rooted in the local community. This year’s Thanksgiving Festival is positioned as an annual opportunity to express gratitude for the support it receives, and it also appears set to be a chance for the brewery and drinkers to connect directly.

The venue, Expo ’70 Commemorative Park, is a large park in northern Osaka known for the Tower of the Sun. It is easily accessible from the city center and well suited to outdoor events. Scheduled for the start of the autumn holiday weekend, this year’s event looks like one beer fans will want to mark on their calendars.
