NOMENDO Brew Stand announces 3rd anniversary festival for Aug. 8-9
NOMENDO Brew Stand in Koshigaya, Saitama, has announced a two-day 3rd anniversary festival on August 8 and 9. FI-KA will join on day one, followed by TRIP on day two, in an event framed as a local collaboration around craft beer and food.
Hop BroKoshigaya has a fun one coming up: Nomendo's 3rd Anniversary is happening at Nomendo Brew Stand on Saturday, August 8, and Sunday, August 9.
MugiWait, Nomendo Brew Stand is that craft beer spot just three minutes from Koshigaya Station, right?
Hop BroExactly, and after getting its brewing license in January 2024, it became Koshigaya's first brewery, so this anniversary feels like a real milestone.
MugiWhat! A brewing license sounds wildly official. So that means they can actually make beer in-house?
Hop BroThat's right, and they've got a standing taproom too, so you can drink the beer on site, which is a big part of the appeal.
MugiOkay, but a taproom sounds like a secret lair full of faucets. You just mean a space for fresh draft beer, right?
Hop BroPretty much. On Saturday, FI-KA joins the party with 15:00-22:30 last order, and pairing Swedish cafe-bar food with craft beer should be a lot of fun.
MugiNo way, and on Sunday TRIP joins in too, right? Just hearing restaurant and bar makes my stomach start pre-gaming.
Hop BroYep, Sunday runs 13:00-19:00 last order, and TRIP should give day two a totally different pairing vibe.
MugiBut hold on, the beer names and styles still haven't been announced? That is exactly the kind of detail that keeps me selectively awake at night.
Hop BroFor now, yeah, but food and beer pairing is clearly the star here, and it sounds like one of those events where the whole neighborhood comes together.
MugiI'm officially in. Early August plans are now reserved, because this is absolutely the kind of event that makes both of us want a drink.
NOMENDO Brew Stand, a craft beer-focused spot in Koshigaya, Saitama, has announced its "Nomendo 3rd Anniversary Festival" on Instagram. The event is set for Saturday, August 8, and Sunday, August 9. According to the brewery's official site, the venue is a craft beer specialty shop about a three-minute walk from Koshigaya Station, and it became Koshigaya City's first brewery after obtaining its brewing license in January 2024.
On the first day, FI-KA, a Swedish cafe and bar in Koshigaya, will participate from 3:00 p.m. to 10:30 p.m. last order. On the second day, TRIP, a restaurant and bar near Dokkyo University Station, will join from 1:00 p.m. to 7:00 p.m. last order. The post positions both venues as part of the celebration, suggesting a food-and-beer lineup built around local ties.
NOMENDO Brew Stand also operates with a standing-room-oriented tap room, giving it a dual identity as both a brewery and a neighborhood drinking spot. That combination has made it a familiar name for beer drinkers in the area, and the anniversary festival looks set to extend that role by bringing together beer, food, and nearby businesses.
Further updates are expected, so anyone planning to go should keep an eye out for the next announcement and make room in their schedule for early August.
