Sakazuki Brewing Announces 16-Tap Lineup and Begins Agave Collaboration Brew for May Release
Tokyo-based Sakazuki Brewing announced its 16-tap lineup for the day in its latest March 12 post, while also reporting that it has begun brewing a collaboration beer scheduled for a May release with Agave specialty shop Katoenge Tokyo in Asakusa and others. The post also outlined anniversary-related event dates for the second half of March.
Hop BroToday’s Sakazuki Brewing update is seriously hot! In their March 12 post, they revealed a 16-tap lineup and also announced a May agave collaboration brew in the works.
MugiWhat! They dropped that much info at once?! That’s some serious momentum!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is really broad too. They’ve got Bohemian Pilsner "shy girl," Hazy IPA "Stardust," Imperial IPA "hangover!," coffee beer "Red shoes," and British Imperial Stout "Yoiyami no Kuro."
MugiWhoa! "Imperial" shows up twice, though. Does that mean kingly beer or something?
Hop BroGood question! "Imperial" basically means something like "stronger" or "richer." It usually refers to a style with more alcohol presence and body, so it feels more substantial than the standard version.
MugiOhhh! So the name "hangover!" is the kind that warns you about the next morning before you even drink it!
Hop BroThat name is pretty bold, right? And the main story here is the May collaboration brew. They’re working with Katoenge Tokyo in Asakusa, Narushima Shoten, and Cosmicoplants to develop a beer with agave syrup that’s "hoppy, light, and easy-drinking."
MugiAgave is that plant stuff, right? Putting it in beer is kind of unexpected!
Hop BroExactly. Think of it as an adjunct ingredient. The sugar character comes through cleanly, and it helps aim for a finish that isn’t too heavy. It’s a very Tokyo kind of project that connects plant culture and craft beer.
MugiAnd there are a bunch of events too, right? I’m curious about the 10th-anniversary one!
Hop BroFrom March 20 to 22, Brewing, Taproom, and Lab will all host 10th-anniversary events at the same time. On the 26th there’s a taproom-only domestic craft project, and on the 28th and 29th they’ll have a booth at the Senbon Sakura Festival. Honestly, just keeping up with all of it makes you thirsty! I want a glass right now!
MugiSame! I’d start with "Stardust" from the 16 taps, then finish with "Yoiyami no Kuro"!
In an Instagram post on March 12, 2026, Sakazuki Brewing shared both that day’s tap lineup and its upcoming event information.
That day’s in-house offerings totaled 16 varieties. The selection ranged widely from lagers to dark styles, including Bohemian Pilsner "shy girl," Hazy IPA "Stardust," Imperial IPA "hangover!," coffee beer "Red shoes," and British Imperial Stout "Yoiyami no Kuro." The tap list balanced familiar drinkability with a chance to compare distinctive styles.
The core of the post was the collaboration brew for a May event. Working with Asakusa agave specialty shop "Katoenge Tokyo," craft beer specialty store "Narushima Shoten," and agave producer-designer Cosmicoplants, the brewery says it is developing a beer made with agave syrup in a direction that is "hoppy, light, and easy-drinking." It is a Tokyo-style project that connects plant culture and craft beer, and one worth watching.
In addition, the second half of March is packed with events. From the 20th to the 22nd, Sakazuki Brewing, Taproom, and Lab will all host 10th-anniversary events at the same time. On the 26th, there will be a taproom-only domestic craft beer project, and on the 28th and 29th, the brewery will also have a booth at the Senbon Sakura Festival in Toneri Park, Tokyo. The post made clear just how much momentum the brewery has right now, as it continues daily operations while stacking up new releases and events.
