OUR BREWING to Exhibit at “Craft Beer Fest Maibara” on March 20
Fukui craft brewery OUR BREWING announced that it will set up a booth at “Craft Beer Fest Maibara,” scheduled for Friday, March 20, 2026 (national holiday). In response to last year’s strong turnout, the brewery says it is preparing so it can keep serving beer through the final stretch of the event.
Hop BroToday’s event info is here! Fukui’s OUR BREWING will be at “Craft Beer Fest Maibara” on Friday, March 20, 2026 (national holiday).
MugiWait, Maibara is the one by the station!? That access is insane!
Hop BroExactly. It’s on the first floor of Maibara City Hall, directly connected to the east exit of JR Maibara Station, from 12:00 to 19:00. And since it’s indoors, you don’t have to worry about the weather.
MugiOh wow, even if the weather gacha fails, the festival is still a win! So what can we drink?
Hop BroBrewer Mr. Yamaguchi will be at the booth, with five beers available at all times. The beer names haven’t been announced yet, but since it’s OUR BREWING, an American-style lineup that really leans into hops seems likely.
MugiWhat is that! “An American-style lineup that really leans into hops” sounds like instant pro jargon! I want beer in Japanese!
Hop BroIn plain terms, it means beers with bright aroma, bitterness, and citrusy notes you can enjoy. Think of it as a recipe that puts hop character front and center.
MugiGot it! The kind that lifts your mood with the smell and makes you grin when you drink it!
Hop BroAnd last year the response was so strong they sold out partway through, so this year they’re preparing to keep pouring through the final stretch. Plus, there’s also an anniversary celebration at OUR BREWING TAPROOM in Fukui on the same day, so you could even make it a train trip built around beer.
MugiDrink around Maibara, then stop by the Fukui taproom too... that’s way too perfect a day! Let’s clear our schedule now and assume we’re going drinking on March 20!
Booth Information
According to OUR BREWING’s announcement, the booth will operate on Friday, March 20, 2026 (national holiday), from 12:00 to 19:00. The venue is Maibara City Hall 1F, directly connected to the east exit of JR Maibara Station (1016 Maibara, Maibara City), making it an easy-to-enjoy setup thanks to its station-front, indoor location where weather is not a concern.
On the day, brewer Mr. Yamaguchi will be at the booth, with five varieties available at all times. The post notes that last year demand exceeded expectations and some beers sold out midway, and says the brewery is preparing so it can serve beer all the way to the end this time.
Fukui-Side Topic on the Same Day
One point not to miss in this announcement is that a “anniversary celebration” will also be held on the same day at Fukui’s OUR BREWING TAPROOM. The suggestion of a “rail trip through beer” linking the Maibara festival and the Fukui taproom is also interesting as a way to enjoy craft beer culture across Hokuriku and Shiga.
Brewery Background
OUR BREWING is based in Fukui and is introduced on its official website as a brewery founded by two people raised in Fukui. Centered on American-style beers that make the most of hop character, it is a brewery that continues to share its work while remaining rooted in the local community. One of its bases, the taproom, is located in central Fukui City (1-3-5 Chuo, Fukui City, Fukui Prefecture) and serves as a point of contact for both local customers and visitors.
At the Maibara festival, in addition to tasting and comparing beers at the event venue, taking the Fukui-side program on the same day into account should make it possible to experience OUR BREWING’s current position in a more layered way.
