If your ideal weekend involves a glass of cold craft beer and live music, PMQ Flockfest 2026 should already be marked on your calendar this week. The three-day craft beer and music festival runs from Sept. 11 to 13, 2026 at PMQ's Courtyard & Marketplace on the ground floor, with free admission throughout.
Organized and presented by Black Kite Brewery, Flockfest brings together four Hong Kong breweries and four Japanese breweries in a "4-by-4" collaboration. The Hong Kong lineup includes the organizers themselves, Deadman Brewery, Heroes Beer Co., and Yardley Brothers, alongside Japan's Black Tide Brewery, DD4D Brewery, Far Yeast Brewing, and Shizuoka-based West Coast Brewing.
Together, these craft breweries will introduce eight limited-edition collaboration beers, plus signature brews and exclusive flavors. In other words, there's plenty to explore even if you attend all three days of the festival. Flockfest also features curated food pairings, with four local food stalls offering special menus and beer-pairing recommendations.
Flockfest, however, is not strictly a drinking affair. The program includes 13 live music acts spanning indie rock, R&B, and alternative — a music lineup that, like the beer counterpart, also bridges the culture between the two locations. Interactive sessions will also give beer enthusiasts the chance to meet master brewers from Hong Kong and Japan, while pop-up stores and creative workshops ensure there's plenty more to do, like shopping and getting crafty.
The festival runs from 5 to 10 PM on Friday, 12 NN to 10 PM on Saturday, and 12 NN to 5 PM on Sunday. Admission is free, while visitors can pre-book an event beer package that includes limited-edition glassware and other perks. Klook packages are also available, with exclusive merch.
There's a lot packed into this weekend at the PMQ for both dedicated craft beer fans and curious enthusiasts alike. If you want a weekend plan that involves a little something more than a drink invite, Flockfest can give you both the drink and the entertainment.
