Nagasaki Stadium City will host the ‘Autumn Kyushu Craft Beer Stadium’ from September 4 to September 6, 2026. The event features craft beers from ten selected breweries across seven Kyushu prefectures, alongside local gourmet food offerings.

Key highlights include the inaugural ‘Kyushu Craft Tasting Beer Championship,’ where participants attempt to identify five different beer brands, and a stamp rally offering prizes such as V-Varen Nagasaki and Nagasaki Velca merchandise. Additionally, a public viewing of a Vissel Kobe match will be held at the stadium stands.

Featured local products include fresh craft beer brewed within Japan’s first soccer stadium by ‘THE STADIUM BREWS NAGASAKI,’ as well as specialty offerings from various prefectures like Yame tea-infused IPA from Fukuoka.
