Nagahama Roman Beer Brewery has highlighted the final day of FEST. INAZUMA 2026, held at the Karasuma Peninsula Lawn Area in Kusatsu, Shiga. The three-day festival runs from September 19 to 21, 2026, with Nagahama Roman Beer operating a booth and supplying beer exclusively through the official bar at the venue.
The festival site is next to the Lake Biwa Museum, offering visitors a lakeside setting alongside live music. On the final day, the live area is scheduled to feature artists including OWV and T.M.Revolution. The free area opens at 9:00, while the live area opens at 10:00, with performances scheduled to begin at 11:30 and end at 19:00.
FEST. INAZUMA was created to showcase the appeal of Shiga through music, with singer Takanori Nishikawa serving as a key figure behind the event. The festival also emphasizes Lake Biwa conservation and regional development. In 2026, it adopted the new name FEST. INAZUMA after being known for many years as the Inazuma Rock Festival.
Nagahama Roman Beer began brewing in Nagahama City in 1996. Its brewery and restaurant share the same site, allowing the company to serve fresh beer while maintaining established beers and developing limited releases. In 2016, the company also opened the Nagahama Distillery, making it one of the few producers in Japan to work across both beer and whisky.
For beer fans attending the festival, the final day offers a chance to pair live music and the lakeside atmosphere with a locally rooted craft beer from Shiga. It is a fitting setting for Nagahama Roman Beer to present its brewing tradition to festivalgoers from across Japan.
