Beer pub Schwa2 (Shuwashuwa), located in the Sennichimae / Ura-Namba area of Osaka, announced on Instagram that it will hold a fourth-anniversary event called “Schwa2 4th Anniversary.” The event will run for three days, on Friday, May 29, Saturday, May 30, and Sunday, May 31, with an open time of 15:00 each day. It is being presented as an anniversary program to express gratitude for the support it has received.

In the post, the venue said that the event details have not yet been revealed and that it plans to announce additional programming and offerings next week. In other words, the only things known at this stage are when it will open, that it is an anniversary event, and that more information is coming. For beer fans, the tap lineup on the day and whether there will be any limited offerings are likely the biggest points of interest.

At the end of the caption, the accounts CYCLO, Derailleur Brew Works, and Ravitaillement 496 were listed, and the hashtags also included “hard cider” and “craft beer.” While specific beer names have not yet been announced, it already sounds like an anniversary event that can be enjoyed in both beer and cider contexts.

As a beer pub in Sennichimae's bar-hopping district, Schwa2 has the appeal of being easy to fit into an after-work stop or a weekend crawl. Over the three anniversary days, it will be worth paying attention not only to your usual pint, but also to what related breweries and cideries are doing. Beer fans should keep an eye out for the follow-up announcement to see what lineup appears.
