Nothing beats enjoying a pint on a warm and sunny spring day. Craft Beer Live invites you to celebrate the sipping season with locally brewed Kansai craft beers over the May 23 and 24 weekend, featuring a respectable 300 beers by 66 breweries from across the region. You can pair your choice with Japanese pub grub like skewered meats, gyoza and various deep-fried delights, or opt for curry, pizza or pasta. Come for the beers and eats, stay for the live music and dance performances, which run throughout both days.
Admission is free, but the beers can only be purchased with special drink tickets. These are available at the venue, but we highly recommend picking up yours online in advance. General tickets cost ¥3,500 for a bundle of 6 and a plastic mug, while the limited-edition set of 6 tickets and an exclusive beer glass will set you back ¥5,500. Can’t wait to get buzzed? Even more reason to buy online; advance ticket holders can enter the venue an hour before everyone else.
