The 9th Craft Beer Festival in Matsumoto

In the fall of 2026, the Shinshu Beer Festival is returning to Matsumoto Castle Park for the first time in two years!!


This Year’s Overview:

■ Held during the 5-day Silver Week holiday

■ Over 100 varieties of craft beer from Japan and abroad—with a focus on those produced in Nagano Prefecture—are scheduled to be featured

■ Food booths featuring ingredients from Nagano Prefecture

■ Dining area set up on the site of the former Matsumoto City Museum

★We will continue our “One Glass, One Lord” initiative, in which 10 yen (planned) from each glass of craft beer sold will be donated toward preserving Matsumoto Castle for future generations.
