Butterfly Brewery to Exhibit at JR Nagoya Takashimaya's Craft Beer Fest 2026
Butterfly Brewery in Kasugai, Aichi, will have a booth at "Craft Beer Fest 2026" held at JR Nagoya Takashimaya. Sales will run from April 22 to May 5, and the store manager and brewmaster will also be on site on April 23 and April 30.
Hop BroMugi-chan, this time it’s about Butterfly Brewery setting up a booth. They’re bringing their beers from Kasugai, Aichi, to JR Nagoya Takashimaya’s “Craft Beer Fest 2026.”
MugiWhoa! A beer fest at a department store already sounds like an instant shopping high! And they’re coming from Kasugai too, so I kind of want to cheer them on!
Hop BroThe sales period is from April 22 to May 5. And on April 23 and April 30, the store manager and brewmaster are scheduled to be there.
MugiWhat! So it’s not just buying beer normally, there’s a chance to meet the makers too? That really ups the event vibe!
Hop BroExactly. Butterfly Brewery opened on November 3, 2021, and it was Kasugai City’s first craft beer brewery. Their concept, “a place where you can drink beer while listening to music,” is pretty interesting too.
MugiOhh! Music and beer sound like a great match. They’ve even held mini concerts inside the brewery all year round, which is kind of romantic, isn’t it?
Hop BroAnd since many of the beer names feature instruments and music motifs, the worldbuilding is consistent. A brewery like that lets you enjoy the story, not just the drink.
MugiWait, so you mean not just the taste, but the name and the atmosphere too are all part of the work? That’s a rabbit hole. Totally the kind you can’t get out of!
Hop BroThat’s right. The shop is located in Ote Tori-cho, and besides in-store sales they also do online sales and growler fills, so you can see why it’s been loved locally.
MugiGrowler fills too! That suddenly gives off a really beer-connoisseur vibe! Being able to choose according to your own taste sounds fun!
Hop BroIt’ll be interesting to see how Butterfly’s personality from Kasugai is received at a department store in the Nagoya Station area too. The article doesn’t go into much detail about the style, but the strong appeal is that you can enjoy it together with music.
MugiJust reading it makes me want to go! A pint at Takashimaya sounds a little indulgent, and that’s what makes it great. I’d want to join with snacks in hand!
On Sale at JR Nagoya Takashimaya
Butterfly Brewery, based in Kasugai City, Aichi Prefecture, announced that it will set up a booth at "Craft Beer Fest 2026" held at JR Nagoya Takashimaya and sell its beers there. The sales period will be April 22 through May 5. During the event, the store manager and brewmaster are also scheduled to visit the venue on Thursday, April 23 and Wednesday, April 30.
The brewery opened on November 3, 2021, and is Kasugai City's first craft beer workshop. With the concept of "a place where you can drink beer while listening to music," it has also held mini concerts inside the brewery throughout the year. Many of its beers have instrument and music motifs in their names, and one of its defining features is a consistent overall world view.
This booth appearance should offer a chance to broadly introduce Butterfly Brewery's character to the Nagoya Station area. The shop is located in Ote Tori-cho, Kasugai City, and in addition to in-store and online sales, it also offers growler fills. It will be worth seeing what kind of drinkers discover this locally loved craft beer through a department store event.
At the venue, visitors will of course be able to stop by casually between shopping trips and enjoy the beer, and on April 23 and April 30 there may also be a chance to hear directly about the brewing process. Another point of interest is how a brewery from Kasugai will be received at a major commercial facility in Nagoya.
