An award plaque for a beer that won at JAPAN BREWERS CUP 2026 has arrived at Moji Port Craft Beer Workshop in Kitakyushu, Fukuoka.

Hop BroWow, the news that Moji Port Craft Beer Workshop's award plaque has arrived is great. The results at JAPAN BREWERS CUP 2026 have finally taken shape.
MugiOh! A plaque, like a trophy? It suddenly feels like proof of victory, and that's exciting!
Hop BroExactly. And the star is that the pilsner came in first. Topping the pale lager category is pretty impressive classic strength.
MugiPale lager, huh? So that means a clean, crisp beer, right? I tend to think all lagers look the same!
Hop BroBasically, yes. Pilsner is known for its crisp finish and moderate bitterness, the kind you can keep gulping down.
MugiOhhh! Then what about weizen? I noticed it said they also placed in the wheat beer category, and now I'm curious!
Hop BroWeizen uses wheat, so its appeal is a soft mouthfeel and a gently fragrant aroma. It really shows that Moji Port Craft Beer Workshop is strong in classic styles.
MugiAnd it was born in 1998 in the port town of Moji Port Retro, so it has history too! A brewery raised in a harbor town has such a romantic vibe.
Hop BroAccording to the official site, they value orthodox styles beloved across Europe while pursuing a taste you never get tired of drinking. That's where its reproducibility and quality come in.
MugiAnd the directly operated restaurant has weizen, pale ale, Sakura Beer, and even house-made ham? That's amazing! I'm so looking forward to the pairings.
Hop BroSeeing the plaque makes me want to drink already. Tonight feels like the kind of night to toast with a pilsner from Moji Port Craft Beer Workshop.
MugiYeah! I want to enjoy the afterglow of the award with a weizen in hand!
