Otako Beer Brewery announced that it will exhibit at "CHIBA BEER FEST 2026," to be held in Chiba Minato on Saturday, April 25 and Sunday, April 26. For the brewery, which is based in Chiba City, this major local craft beer event is likely to be a place to connect directly with fans.

At the venue, "CHIBA BEER FEST 2026," 20 breweries with a stellar lineup will come together. The announcement calls on visitors to enjoy a toast under the spring blue sky, and says that food will also be available in addition to beer. The event hours are 11:00 to 21:00 on Saturday, April 25 and 11:00 to 20:00 on Sunday, April 26. Another appealing feature is its easy access, just a 3-minute walk from Chiba-Minato Station.

Among the participating breweries, in addition to Otako Beer Brewery from within Chiba Prefecture, the lineup includes Shiokaze Blue Lab, RIO BREWING&CO., Kankiku Brewery, Chiba Inage Beer Inabiya, and Kaigan Brewery with After School Brewery. Along with local breweries, breweries from Saitama, Yamanashi, Tochigi, Tokyo, Kyoto, Nara, and the UK are also set to participate, making for a broad lineup.

Chiba City's craft beer scene has grown in presence over the past few years alongside the expansion of places to drink, breweries, and events. Otako Beer Brewery's participation is drawing attention as an opportunity, within that trend, for local breweries to gather face to face.
