Keyaki Beer Festival

The Keyaki Beer Festival is a large festival held at Saitama Super Arena. Most beers are around ¥500 each but you can also get “tasting comparison” sets of 4 smaller sized beers for around ¥1,000 to ¥1,200 at most of the breweries in attendance, although a few may charge more for these.

90 different brewers from throughout Japan and a few from overseas will be in attendance serving over 400 different beers. The most common price points are ¥500 and ¥600. A few brewers will be serving up their product for as little as ¥300.

Breweries in attendance include Coedo, Hatachino, Shiga Kogen, Devilcraft, Swan Lake, Outsider, Y.Market Brewing and Kyoto Brewing Company. Notable absentees are Baird Beer and Minoh Beer.
