On April 26, Nagahama Roman Beer Brewing House posted on Instagram, saying, "This year, one of Kansai's largest beer festivals is coming again," and announced "Craft Beer Live 2026" in Osaka Nanko. In the post, it introduced the two-day event on May 23 and 24 at ATC Piloti Square, where breweries from across Kansai will gather and visitors can enjoy craft beer.

Nagahama Roman Beer is a brewery with a brewhouse and restaurant in Nagahama City, Shiga Prefecture. Its official website says the brewery has been making craft beer since 1996 and has also worked on limited seasonal brews in addition to its standard lineup. That background, rooted in the historic townscape of Nagahama, naturally connects with this event announcement, where freshly kegged draft beer has long been served.

This post conveys how a brewery nurtured in Nagahama is expanding its distinct character to a large Kansai beer festival. Osaka Nanko, where the event will be held, is easy to access, and the appeal lies in being able to compare the individuality of many different breweries over two days. It is an event worth checking out not only for fans of Nagahama Roman Beer, but also for anyone who wants to explore Kansai craft beer broadly.
