Craft Bank to Open a Booth at PLAYBACK FES. 2026 on April 26, Serving a Fruit Gose Made with Maizuru Summer Oranges
Craft Bank, a Kyoto-based brewery in Fukuchiyama, announced that it will open a booth at "PLAYBACK FES. 2026," to be held on April 26. Tailored to the venue, the brewery says it will prepare a fruit gose using about 100 liters of Maizuru-grown summer oranges, along with a festival-exclusive label.
Hop BroCraft Bank from Kyoto’s Fukuchiyama is setting up a booth, and this is one you don’t want to miss. They’re bringing a beer made with Maizuru-grown summer oranges for PLAYBACK FES. 2026 on April 26.
MugiWhat! A summer orange beer for a festival!? And it’s from Maizuru too, so it already sounds delicious just from the name!
Hop BroThe star this time is the fruit gose called "PLAYBACK." It’s great how they’re layering the citrusy character of summer oranges onto a style known for its balance of tartness and saltiness.
MugiA gose? What even is that! Tartness and saltiness sounds like the drink has lost its coordinates!
Hop BroBasically, it’s a crisp, tart beer. When you add the sharp acidity of summer oranges, it comes together as something you can drink easily as the weather turns warmer.
MugiI get it! That sounds perfect after sweating it out at a festival! And about 100 liters of summer orange is a pretty impressive brew size.
Hop BroThat’s what makes it interesting. They’re using ingredients from Maizuru in earnest, giving it this limited-edition recipe feel that even carries the atmosphere of a port town.
MugiWait, there’s even a festival-exclusive label! A dockside scene with summer oranges as the motif? Just carrying the can around would lift your mood!
Hop BroCraft Bank has a brewery on the site of a former bank, and its rooted-in-the-city approach is a big part of its appeal. Their slogan, "Let’s do something with a beer in hand," fits this event perfectly.
MugiThat’s a nice story. If you can enjoy local ingredients and music together, the beer has to taste twice as good when you drink it there.
Hop BroExactly, this is a beer that has excellent chemistry with music. Both Mugi-chan and I will probably want to toast with this "PLAYBACK" on the day.
MugiIt’s settled! I’ll be the one in charge of taking the first sip to check the citrus character! Hop-nii will probably be the one who talks too much!
Craft Bank, which operates a brewery on the site of a former bank in Fukuchiyama, Kyoto Prefecture, announced that it will have a booth at "PLAYBACK FES. 2026," held in Maizuru. In its post, the brewery said it will again take part in the festival, which is held every year on Sunday, April 26.
The beer prepared for this event will be "PLAYBACK," a fruit gose made with about 100 liters of Maizuru-grown summer oranges. By making the most of the tartness and citrus character unique to summer oranges, it has been designed as a beer that suits the season heading into warmer weather. In addition, a festival-exclusive label will be prepared, featuring motifs of the port-town dockside setting where the event is held and the summer oranges themselves.
Under the slogan "Let’s do something with a beer in hand," Craft Bank has continued brewing craft beer rooted in the city of Fukuchiyama. Based at its brewery and restaurant housed in a former bank building, the brewery offers beers that balance drinkability and character. Its decision to use local ingredients for this booth is another clear reflection of that approach.
This offering layers Maizuru’s summer oranges onto a tart style that pairs well with festivals. It looks set to be a booth where visitors can enjoy craft beer with a strong regional identity at a music event.
