Hop BroBreaking news: Egre Brewery from Himeji, Hyogo, has been confirmed to exhibit at the Kyoto Yūagari Craft Beer Festival 2026 for the fourth year in a row!
MugiWhat! Four years straight makes them a regular! And the name "After Bath" is basically already a winner, right?
Hop BroThe event runs on May 2 and 3, 2026 at the Futsal court inside Fushimi Chikara no Yu in Fushimi, Kyoto. It’s from 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. with last orders at 7:30 p.m., and reception and bath entry start at 10:00 a.m.
MugiL.O.? What’s that? A beer spell?!
Hop BroIt stands for last order. In other words, you can order until 7:30 p.m. Timing after the bath is super important.
MugiOhh! So what kind of beer will Egre Brewery bring? Have they announced the beer names yet?
Hop BroNo specific beer names have been announced yet. But their concept is "beer that accompanies the happy moments of life," and they’re known for a variety of styles suited to different scenes. I’m expecting a highly sessionable pour here.
MugiWhat does that even mean? Sessionable as in the drinking party just keeps going?
Hop BroPretty much! It means something with lighter alcohol presence and an easy-drinking feel, so you can enjoy several while talking. And this year’s lineup is a record 25 breweries, as announced in the event’s official Instagram post on March 8.
MugiFree admission, food-and-drink tickets, three ticket types on sale via Loppi now - Standard, Premium, and Beginners - and Takeda Station is only a 5-minute walk away, right? While we wait for the pre-festival details... let's go get our after-bath drink!
