Nara Brewing announced on Instagram at 17:25 on March 5, 2026, that it will hold its "TapRoom Open Day" on March 14. The venue is its brewery, and in addition to taproom service, there will be brewery tours by reservation, five vendors from within and outside the prefecture, and the opening of award-winning beers.
Hop BroNara Brewing has news! On Saturday, March 14, 2026, it's holding a TapRoom Open Day at its brewery in Kitano-sho Nishi-machi, Nara City, from 10:00 to 17:00, with last orders at 16:30.
MugiWait! Do you need a reservation for the taproom?!
Hop BroNo reservation needed to use the taproom. You can just drop by, which is awesome. And the brewery tour led by head brewer Yasunori Namioka is by reservation and capacity-limited, so getting in early matters there.
MugiWhat is that? 'Head brewer' sounds like a final boss title.
Hop BroHe's the person in charge of brewing! The one who handles recipe design through fermentation management. Getting to hear directly from them is a pretty hot experience for beer fans.
MugiOhh! So what beers will be available that day?
Hop BroThey're planning to tap 'SUN' and 'INTEGRAL B', both award winners at the Japan Brewers Cup 2026! Nara Brewing makes a wide range of styles, from core beers and collaborations to limited releases, so you can look forward to comparing different styles too.
MugiSo 'tapping' basically means 'connect the keg and start serving!'? That sounds way too cool.
Hop BroExactly! And with vendors like knot's hot dogs and donuts, FOUR STAR PHO, Akaha Chai, Kore Kara Flowers, and KISSA, it's a day that'll keep both your stomach and your senses busy.
MugiAmazing! Since there's no parking, let's go by public transport and fully enjoy Nara Brewing's award-winning beers and all the different styles! I want to drink now!
Nara’s craft beer brewery Nara Brewing will hold a "TapRoom Open Day" on Saturday, March 14, 2026. The venue is its own brewery in Kitano-sho Nishimachi, Nara City. Hours are 10:00 to 17:00 (last order at 16:30), and no reservation is required to use the taproom. In addition, a brewery tour led by head brewer Yasunori Namioka will be offered (reservation required, capacity limited).
At this open day, as previously announced, a key highlight will be the planned tapping of the beers "SUN" and "INTEGRAL B," which won awards at the Japan Brewers Cup 2026. Vendors on the day include knot (hot dogs, donuts), FOUR STAR PHO (pho and snacks), Akaha Chai (chai), Kore Kara Flowers (bouquets), and KISSA (snacks), making for a lineup that includes not only food and drinks but flower sales as well.
Nara Brewing was established in 2017. As for why it puts "Nara" in its name, the brewery has made clear its intention to carry the regional name outward and its responsibility to bear the place name. It offers a wide range of styles, from core beers to collaborations and limited brews, and continues its work from Nara, sending beer to drinkers across Japan. This open day can be considered one of the best opportunities to experience that approach firsthand.
The main point to note when visiting is that there is no parking. The organizers are also urging visitors to use public transportation. It looks set to be a day where you can enjoy, all at once, beer, brewing equipment, the people who make it, food, and local connections.
