Swan Lake Pub Edo Shibuya Yoyogi-Uehara Cafe de Tete to Host Meet the Brewer on April 12
Swan Lake Pub Edo Shibuya Yoyogi-Uehara Cafe de Tete, in Oyama-cho, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, will host a "Meet the Brewer" event on Sunday, April 12, 2026. Swan Lake Beer brewer Kohara will appear, and guests can enjoy the collaboration beer Alt and beers from other breweries along with stories from the makers.
Hop BroOn Sunday, April 12, there’s a Meet the Brewer event. It’s at Swan Lake Pub Edo Shibuya Yoyogi-Uehara Cafe de Tete in Oyama-cho, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, and it’s a long run from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m.
MugiWait, is that an event where you can actually meet the brewer!? And it runs that long? That means it’s the kind of day that stays fun from afternoon to night!
Hop BroExactly. This time, Swan Lake Beer brewer Kohara will be there, talking in a Europe edition format. The fact that this popular brewer meet-up from the end of last year is coming back is pretty exciting.
MugiA Europe edition makes it sound like a travel show all of a sudden! But it’s about beer, right? It feels like you can enjoy even the atmosphere of the journey.
Hop BroThe big highlight is the German-style Alt brewed as a collaboration with the female brewer who traveled with them. Alt is top-fermented, but its appeal is a calm malt character and a clean finish, so it’s not flashy, but it has a quiet depth of flavor.
MugiWhoa, when you say top-fermented, it suddenly sounds like a science experiment! But I get it: it’s one of those beers that tastes great.
Hop BroYeah, roughly speaking, it’s a type of yeast that works near the top, and it often develops more aroma than lagers. With this Alt, you can drink it while hearing about the brewing philosophy, so the shape of the flavor should come through much more clearly.
MugiNice! And if you can enjoy beers from various breweries too, the tasting comparison is going to be nonstop. Drinking after hearing the brewers talk is definitely going to make everything taste even better!
Hop BroPlus, there’ll be limited German food on the day, so you won’t have to worry about finding the perfect beer companion. Being able to enjoy it in a calm beer-pub setting from the bright hours of a spring day is part of the appeal.
MugiAnd reservations aren’t being accepted, so it’s walk-in only, right? Then let’s just drop by, listen to Kohara talk, drink the Alt, and maybe finish with one more beer!
Hop BroThat sounds great, I’m on board. It’s the kind of event that suits a spring beer, and once you hear the story, your throat starts craving a drink even more.
MugiYeah, I already want to drink it! If you can taste the brewer’s story along with the beer, then this is definitely an event worth going to!
"Meet the Brewer" on Sunday, April 12
Swan Lake Pub Edo Shibuya Yoyogi-Uehara Cafe de Tete, in Oyama-cho, Shibuya Ward, Tokyo, will host a "Meet the Brewer" event on Sunday, April 12, 2026, from 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m. An Instagram post says the brewer meet-up, which was well received at the end of last year, will be held again this year, with Swan Lake Beer brewer Kohara appearing in a Europe-themed edition.
The highlights this time are a collaboration beer brewed with a female brewer who traveled together, and the chance to enjoy beers from various breweries alongside stories from the makers. The collaboration beer is Alt, a style that originated in Düsseldorf, Germany. It offers a chance to explore the style's background and brewing approach, one glass at a time.
German food will also be available in limited quantities on the day. The post encourages people to enjoy sophisticated beers from early in the day during the pleasant spring weather outdoors. It also notes that the brewer's stay is only planned for daylight hours and is still undecided, and that reservations will not be accepted that day, so visitors should come directly to the venue. It looks set to be an event where beer and the brewer's story can be enjoyed together in a relaxed beer-pub atmosphere.
