The Beer Shop Hirakata city, a craft beer pub in Hirakata, Osaka, will participate in Hirakata Festival 2026 from Saturday, September 26 through Sunday, September 27. Its booth will be located in the center of the main venue, Okahigashi Chuo Park, giving visitors a chance to enjoy craft beer in an outdoor festival setting.

The tap list announced for Friday, September 25 features six beers: Sapporo Brewery’s Kurolabel, served with its “one-pour” and mellow-pour styles; Minoh Brewery’s Coffee IPA; Flora Fermentation’s Siren; Fukuoka Craft’s Pale Ale; Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White; and Sanktgallen’s Pineapple Ale. The lineup spans a classic lager, a coffee-accented IPA, a pale ale, a wheat-based beer and a fruit ale.

Minoh Brewery’s Coffee IPA should appeal to drinkers who enjoy roasted coffee-like notes alongside IPA bitterness. Flora Fermentation’s Siren and Sanktgallen’s Pineapple Ale offer more distinctive alternatives, while Hirakata Beer’s Session Citra White brings a local connection to the festival. Kurolabel provides a familiar, clean option for those looking for an easy-drinking lager.

Food at the festival booth is planned to include charcoal-grilled chicken, corn, squid and sausages. These smoky, savory items should pair naturally with the varied beer selection and make the booth a convenient stop while exploring the festival grounds.

The Beer Shop Hirakata city is located in Hirakata Sun Plaza Building No. 3, directly connected to Hirakata-shi Station. At its regular location, the shop stocks craft beer from Japan and overseas and normally offers four to six beers on draft. The tap list and availability at the festival may change, so visitors are advised to check the shop’s latest official updates before visiting.
