On April 3, the Instagram account "beach_marche.himi" announced the exhibitors for BEACH SUMMIT2026 (Bee Sami). In this announcement, the eight names listed were AMAKUSA SONAR BEER, REPUBREW, open air, Nobody Brewing by Teenage Brewing, BREWMIN', FETISH CLUB, BREW CLASSIC, and ANTELOPE.

Looking at the lineup, in addition to distinctive craft breweries from around Japan, it also includes ANTELOPE, which makes mead, making for a setup that should offer beer fans a wide range of tasting experiences. The specific beer names were not revealed in this post, but there is plenty to look forward to discovering at the venue, from each brewery's standard offerings to limited releases.

The exhibitor categories are not limited to breweries. They also include drinks and alcohol, merchandise and workshops, food, and sweets, giving it the broad appeal of a seaside market event. With 66 booths gathering from Hokkaido to Kyushu, it looks set to be a place where visitors can enjoy food, outdoor culture, and local culture all at once, centered around beer.

The venue is Shimao in Himi City, Toyama Prefecture. Given its coastal setting, it seems like a great match for an event where people can stroll around slowly with a craft beer in hand. With Himi, home to the liquor supermarket Max, this is an exhibitor announcement that is also drawing attention from the perspective of drinkers.
