July 4, 1996.

Helios Craft Beer was born as Okinawa’s first craft beer.

Now, in 2026, we are proud to celebrate our 30th anniversary, marking this important milestone thanks to the continued support of everyone who has enjoyed and supported Helios Craft Beer over the years.

This 30-year journey would never have been possible without the support of so many people.

We are deeply grateful to all the beer lovers and Helios fans who have enjoyed and supported Helios Craft Beer throughout the years. Thank you, sincerely, from the bottom of our hearts.

Over the past 30 years, we have also gradually expanded the number of places where you can enjoy Helios Craft Beer and feel closer to the brand.

In 2020, we began brewing a new line of craft beer at the Sawa-uchi Brewery in Nishiwaga Town, Iwate Prefecture.

Then, in 2022, we opened the HELIOS NAHA Airport Brewery inside Naha Airport. It has become a place where visitors to Okinawa can enjoy freshly brewed craft beer while creating memorable moments to take home from their trip.

In 2025, we opened HELIOS PUB inside the RYUBO FOOD HALL at Department Store RYUBO, as well as BREWING LAB. inside Aeon Shibutami.

These new spaces offer more than just a place to enjoy a beer. They allow people to experience the appeal of craft beer and the joy of brewing and craftsmanship in a more personal and accessible way.

Step by step, we have continued to create places where people can enjoy craft beer while building meaningful connections with our customers and fans.

And now, as we celebrate our 30th anniversary, Helios Craft Beer is taking its next step forward.

While staying true to the values we have cherished over the years, we will continue to take on new challenges and bring fresh discoveries, memorable experiences, and great-tasting beer to beer lovers and Helios fans everywhere.

Toward the next 10 years—and beyond.

A new chapter in the story of Helios Craft Beer begins here.

We sincerely hope you will continue to enjoy our beer and support us for many years to come.
