Nomcraft Brewing to debut at SakuraTown Brewers Fest 2026
Nomcraft Brewing, based in Aridagawa Town, Wakayama, will make its first appearance at SakuraTown Brewers Fest 2026 at Tokorozawa Sakura Town in Saitama on January 24 and 25, 2026. The brewery announced the move on Instagram, and the official event page lists it as a first-time participant.
Hop BroThis one's worth flagging: Nomcraft Brewing's first booth at SakuraTown Brewers Fest 2026. They're coming from Aridagawa, Wakayama to Tokorozawa on January 24 and 25, 2026.
MugiWhat, from Wakayama to Tokorozawa? That's a serious trip. If it's their first time there, craft beer fans around Kanto should be paying attention.
Hop BroExactly, and it's an indoor beer festival at Hall A in the Japan Pavilion on the second floor of Tokorozawa Sakura Town. Winter drinking without freezing is a strong setup.
MugiBeer in winter without shivering sounds perfect! And free admission means even a newer craft beer fan like me can just wander in.
Hop BroThat part is great. But it's also cashless only, so showing up with just coins and confidence would be a tactical mistake.
MugiNo way, a modern festival trap! So what kind of beer does Nomcraft make? When people say hop-forward, my brain suddenly hears science class.
Hop BroPut simply, aroma leads the way. They brew everything from hop-forward American styles to classic beers, aiming for bright citrusy character, solid drinkability, and quality.
MugiOhh, that helps! But the beer names aren't announced yet, right? That somehow makes the booth even more dangerous for my curiosity.
Hop BroExactly. Nomcraft also works out of a renovated former nursery, and they're serious about community building through craft beer. With seven breweries each day plus food trucks, the comparison tasting could get intense fast.
MugiThe backstory makes me want it even more. On January 24 and 25, I want to chase those hop aromas and toast their first appearance in person.
Hop BroThat's the move. It's a rare Kanto chance to try Nomcraft directly, so I could absolutely see my first pour going there.
MugiThen it's settled: let the tasting begin. I want my first sip to be Nomcraft and immediately go, so this is what their debut tastes like!
