CARVAAN Brewery in Hanno to host craft beer and gin tour on July 25
CARVAAN BREWERY in Hanno, Saitama, will hold a limited 20-seat craft beer and gin factory tour on Saturday, July 25. The program includes a guided look at the brewery and distillery, followed by a lunch course and free-flow drinks at the restaurant.
Hop BroI've got a good one today: CARVAAN BREWERY is hosting a craft beer and gin factory tour at its Hanno flagship on July 25.
MugiWhat! A 20-person-only tour? That is absurdly exclusive!
Hop BroAnd the setting is the best part: it's a brewpub over Hanno Gorge, with cliffside views and a look inside both brewing and distilling.
MugiNo way! An Arabian-meets-Western interior with beer? That is basically a vacation!
Hop BroThat's their thing, though: reimagining historic beers with ingredients from around the world, and they even grow some of their own hops.
MugiWhoa, but what is Tripel? It sounds like a spell that summons three pints!
Hop BroTripel is a strong Belgian-style ale with a floral aroma and solid body. Then you've got Arabian Lime Ale, Spelt Weizen, Belgian White, and even Andes Cacao Stout.
MugiOkay... so free flow means I get the full lesson first, then a dream-level tasting spree after that?
Hop BroExactly. It even comes with a lunch course, and both beer and gin keep flowing, so you can taste with the brewing story fresh in your head.
MugiI'm done for, I want to start with Hanno Fresh Hop IPA and then charge straight into the gin lineup!
Hop BroSame here, I'd finish on Andes Cacao Stout. A full day of scenery, brewery talk, and drinks? That makes me want a glass right now.
Brewery setting
CARVAAN Brewery & Restaurant sits on the edge of Hanno Gorge, about an hour from central Tokyo. The building combines Arabian motifs with Japanese Western-style architecture, and the tall atrium and layered decor create a setting that feels far from the everyday.
CARVAAN BREWERY focuses on recreating historically significant beers with ingredients imported from around the world. It also works with house-grown hops, which makes the brewery story part of the drinking experience.
July 25 tour
The July 25 "CARVAAN's all-in-one experience tour" is limited to 20 guests. It pairs a guided brewery and gin factory visit with a lunch course at the Hanno restaurant, plus free-flow beer and gin. Seeing the production site before sitting down to drink gives the event a clear, practical appeal.
What to expect in the glass
The lineup associated with CARVAAN includes Arabian Lime Ale, Spelt Weizen, CARVAAN Belgian White, CARVAAN Tripel, and Andes Cacao Stout. Seasonal beers such as Hanno Fresh Hop IPA and Classical IPA add hop freshness and malt depth, giving visitors a good sense of the brewery's range.
