CHEERS FOR CHARITY

April 15, 2026

A Charity Craft Beer Initiative

The Concept

Two Nagoya craft breweries - Hyappa Brews and Tallboys Brewing - are producing special beers to support local charities. ¥100 from every beer sold will be donated to organizations serving children in need throughout the community.

The Connection

This initiative supports the 35th Annual Chubu Walkathon, organized by the American Chamber of Commerce in Japan (ACCJ) Chubu Chapter and Nagoya International School (NIS).

Cheers for Charity

Who Can Participate

Nagoya food & drink establishments are invited to participate, including hotels, restaurants, bars, cafes, and izakayas.
