Nomcraft Brewing is a brewery based in Aridagawa, Wakayama, where it operates from a renovated former nursery school. The brewery has positioned its work around the idea of building the town through craft beer, while focusing on approachable beers rooted in American styles.

On August 26, the brewery posted on Instagram that it will take part in Hamamatsu Craft Beer Fes 2026 for the first time. The post said the event runs for three days, from October 2 to 4, and the ticketing information lists the venue as Hamamatsu City Gallery Mall Soramo. The schedule shown in the post is October 2 from 5:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m., October 3 from 11:00 a.m. to 9:00 p.m., and October 4 from 11:00 a.m. to 5:00 p.m.

The caption also notes that the festival will bring together 20 carefully selected breweries. Names from across Japan appear in the lineup, suggesting a broad and varied tap list for visitors in central Hamamatsu.

Nomcraft Brewing’s team includes brewers with international experience, and the brewery’s identity has long been tied to its home town in Wakayama. Its first appearance at this Hamamatsu event will be a chance to see how that local base and international outlook come together in the glass.
