MugiWhat? You can drink eight varieties?
Hop BroThat’s right. Booth No. 50 will feature the Keyaki-exclusive HAZY IPA and stout.
MugiOhhh, but what changes when a Hazy IPA uses Green Bullet?
Hop BroWith Green Bullet, it gets a citrusy aroma and a juicy drinking profile.
MugiWow, a stout with berry-like sweetness? That totally flips my image of dark beer!
Hop BroThey’re also serving the limited-draft Suika Wheat, so you can really enjoy the seasonal feel too.
MugiAnd there’s food too! Shirokoro horumon and a big horse mackerel fry? That’s almost unfair!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, President Iwamoto himself is scheduled to serve the beer, so you can hear about it straight from the brewer.
MugiWith more than 52 breweries and over 300 kinds, it makes sense that people call it one of Japan’s biggest festivals!
Hop BroI want to taste the spirit of Sankt Gallen’s original local beer shop tradition through a side-by-side tasting.
MugiYeah, I’m dying to raise a glass with beer in hand!
Sankt Gallen will exhibit at the “Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival 2026” in Saitama Shintoshin from Wednesday, May 13, 2026, to Sunday, May 17, 2026. The venue is Keyaki Hiroba in Saitama Shintoshin and Saitama Super Arena. Breweries from Hokkaido to Okinawa, numbering more than 52, will gather, with more than 300 kinds of beer on offer, making it one of Japan’s largest craft beer events.
The company’s booth is No. 50. This time, it will offer eight beers in total, including two limited brews created for the Keyaki festival. The limited beers are a HAZY IPA and a stout, both showcasing the hop “Green Bullet.” The HAZY IPA is characterized by a citrus-like, juicy aroma, while the stout’s hallmark is a sweet, berry-like flavor. In addition, the “Suika Wheat,” which is available only in limited draft quantities, will also be served.
The food lineup includes locally popular shirokoro horumon from Atsugi and large horse mackerel fry delivered directly from Odawara Fishing Port. It is designed to be enjoyed alongside the beer. The company’s president, Mr. Iwamoto, is also scheduled to serve at the booth on multiple days, offering visitors a chance to hear about the beers directly from the maker.
Sankt Gallen is a long-established brewery based in Atsugi, Kanagawa Prefecture. Known as the “original local beer shop,” it was brewing small-batch beer in the United States even before Japan lifted restrictions on local beer production, and it has earned a strong reputation for beers that make use of fruit and seasonal ingredients. In keeping with the company’s direct-run taproom, where a wide variety of draft beers can be enjoyed, this event is likely to showcase a broad range of expressions, from limited releases to seasonal pours.
