04&Beer marks its third anniversary with Cave d'Occi and Swan Lake brewers, plus Yama-Bushi
Niigata beer pub 04&Beer in Nishibori-maedori, Chuo Ward, will hold a third-anniversary service. Brewers from Cave d'Occi and Swan Lake are set to visit, with collaboration beers and Yama-Bushi on offer in a standing-only session starting at 3 p.m.
Hop BroI want to talk about 04&Beer's 3rd anniversary today. This event in Furumachi, Niigata looks seriously packed.
MugiWhat! A third anniversary party already sounds fun, so how packed are we talking?
Hop BroThe big draw is brewers visiting in person. The head brewers from CAVE D'OCCI BREWING and Swan Lake Beer are both showing up.
MugiWait, what does double head brewer even mean? A brewer with two heads and twice the palate?
Hop BroNot quite. It means top brewers from both breweries will be there, and the best part is the collab beer comparison you can do on the spot.
MugiOoh! And CAVE D'OCCI's first lager beer is part of it too? Even a beginner like me might notice the difference.
Hop BroThat's the fun part. Lager uses cooler fermentation, which often gives it a clean, crisp finish that's easy to follow.
MugiOkay, now I get it! So basically it's a super crushable style that makes you go back for another sip?
Hop BroExactly. And there's also Tamamura Honten's Yamabushi on tap, so you get dependable favorites and event-only beers in the same session.
MugiAnd it starts at 3 p.m. as a standing-style event, with outside food allowed plus steak and edamame from the pub? That's dangerously ideal.
Hop BroThen around 5 p.m. they roll into the Japan rugby match, so this is basically a full-day beer mission from afternoon to night.
MugiLocal Niigata breweries, Yamabushi, food, and rugby in one day... now I want a pint immediately.
04&Beer, a beer pub on Nishibori-maedori 8-bancho in Niigata's Chuo Ward, is hosting a third-anniversary service. The session starts at 3:00 p.m. in a standing-only format, and outside food is welcome. The bar will also have steak and edamame available, and around 5:00 p.m. guests can watch the Japan rugby match while drinking.
The main draw is the visit from the double-head brewers of CAVE D'OCCI BREWING and Swan Lake Beer. According to the post, the lineup includes collaboration beers, including Cave d'Occi's first lager, giving drinkers a chance to compare both breweries in one place.
Yama-Bushi from Tamamura Honten is also listed as a popular pour. At a place like 04&Beer, that combination of a known seasonal/favorite beer and an event-only collaboration makes tasting comparisons straightforward. In Furumachi, it should be a good chance to enjoy Niigata-linked breweries alongside well-known Japanese craft beer names.
