It's been a while since craft beer was called the "third boom," but it seems to have gone beyond the fad and become firmly established in our lifestyle. Not only are there bars and restaurants that specialize in craft beer, but more and more cafes are selling it, and supermarkets and convenience stores are now stocking a wide variety of unique craft beers.

The appeal of craft beer lies in its diversity and originality. There are many options to choose from, including the unique flavors created by breweries and special limited edition bottles.

Peatix also hosts many events and communities to help people enjoy craft beer even more. There are events where people can enjoy tasting and hopping around, social gatherings for brewery fans, and even workshops where people can experience brewing.

So, the theme of this Community Terrace is "craft beer." We will be welcoming guests Takatake Hibiya, CEO/connector of kipples, which runs the craft beer bar "Bibibi.", and Ai Watanabe, GM of "Schmatz Kaiser Kitchen Beer Co., Ltd.", to talk about craft beer and the community of people who gather around breweries.

Regardless of the size of the community, if you want to talk to people involved in the community or guests, please come and join us. Even if you are not currently involved in community activities, if you are interested in the theme or are interested in the "Community Terrace", please feel free to come!

[Community Terrace: A place for community organizers to interact]
When you join a community, you can meet many different people and have new experiences. However, when you become the organizer, you may worry about how to gather participants and how to manage the event, and you may be curious about what other organizers are doing. In such cases, what if there was a community where organizers could share knowledge and information with each other? You can find many more ways to solve problems and new ideas than if you were to think about it alone.

Why not join Peatix's "Community Terrace"? By sharing the common ground of hosting communities and events, we aim to create a place where you can meet people who share the same concerns and make new connections that make you think, "That's an interesting idea!" Let's liven up the diverse cultures and places that are our communities!

We will welcome a guest who is related to the theme each time. Even if you are not hosting a community or event, please feel free to come if you are interested in the theme. We will provide time to enjoy comfortable conversation over tea or alcohol. You are also welcome to participate just by listening! Even just listening will give you new perspectives and hints.

I would be happy if this becomes a place where you can gain energy and inspiration when you feel like "I want to start something new" or "I want some tips to change the way I do things now."

Reports from previous Community Terrace events are also available!
