Hop BroHere it is, BEER CUBE OMISHIMA 2026 in the middle of the Shimanami Kaido. Omishima Brewery and Minoh Beer are coming together again for their “mentor-student collaboration” on June 13 and 14 at WAKKA.
MugiWait, what is a mentor-student brewery? And beer with an ocean view? That already sounds like a guaranteed win!
Hop BroSimply put, it means you can enjoy Omishima Brewery, which carries on the lineage of Minoh Beer, in the same place. The venue, WAKKA, is attractive for its ocean-view location. The event runs from 11:00 to 17:00 on both days, and reception starts at 10:30.
MugiI see~ But what about the advance tickets? 3,000 yen per set sounds nice, but what exactly comes with it?
Hop BroThat’s the good part. You get five beer tickets plus an original Tritan glass. And the tickets can also be used for food, so it’s a setup that works well for both drinkers and eaters.
MugiWhat is Tritan!? Wait, the glass name already sounds like technical jargon, and my brain is starting to foam up a little!
Hop BroTritan is a shatter-resistant material, so it’s easy to carry around at events. Since you can use it directly at the venue, having a 10 oz glass included is practical and makes for a nice souvenir too.
MugiNice! So what kind of beers does Omishima Brewery have? If I hear five standard varieties, that just makes me want to compare them all!
Hop BroAccording to the official website, the standards are Blonde Ale, IPA, Coffee Pale ~Munimaru Cafe ver~, White Ale, and Stout. They have a lineup with citrusy fruitiness and a balanced drinkability that keeps you from getting tired of it, which fits the island atmosphere really well.
MugiI keep hearing about IPA, but what’s actually so great about it? Strong hop character isn’t just about bitterness, right?
Hop BroExactly, the aroma is a star too. It can bring out bright citrus, pine, and even tropical notes, which is why it’s popular as a beer to enjoy for its aroma.
MugiAnd WAKKA also has lodging and a cafe, right? This is basically already a complete Setouchi beer trip.
Hop BroThat’s right. It’s great to stop by while touring the Shimanami Kaido, and it’s even better to stay overnight and take your time. Alright, this is clearly one for toasting by the sea.
A Two-Day Beer Event on Omishima in the Shimanami Kaido
At the tourism facility WAKKA on Omishima in Imabari City, Ehime Prefecture, “BEER CUBE OMISHIMA 2026” will be held on Saturday, June 13 and Sunday, June 14. According to the organizer’s announcement, this year will once again bring together the “mentor-student breweries” of Omishima Brewery and Minoh Beer. The venue, fitting for Omishima in the middle of the Shimanami Kaido, is distinguished by its ocean-view location.
The event runs from 11:00 to 17:00 on both days, with reception starting at 10:30. Advance tickets are 3,000 yen per set, and include five beer tickets at 600 yen each plus an original Tritan glass (10 oz). The tickets can also be used for food, and another point is that you can use the glass as-is at the venue. The venue guide says food information will be released gradually on the official social media accounts.
According to the official website, Omishima Brewery’s standard lineup consists of Blonde Ale, IPA, Coffee Pale ~Munimaru Cafe ver~, White Ale, and Stout. The brewery emphasizes fruity beers made with citrus and a well-balanced profile that keeps them easy to drink without getting tiresome, making this a lineup best enjoyed alongside the island atmosphere. With the close-up feel unique to a brewpub, the appeal lies in being able to compare local character with classic styles side by side.
WAKKA is an ocean-view facility with lodging, a cafe, cycling support, and hands-on activity programs. If you combine the event with an overnight stay, it can become a relaxed trip where you can take in the scenery of the Seto Inland Sea and craft beer at a leisurely pace. It is a great plan both for stopping by along a Shimanami Kaido journey and for visiting with beer as the main destination.
