Y.Y.G. Factory Previews Four Collab Beers Ahead of 10th Anniversary Weekend
Y.Y.G. Brewery & Beer Kitchen announced in a March 3, 2026, 20:33 post that it had revealed the tap list for the anniversary event running April 3-5. First, it disclosed the outline of four collaboration beers, saying the remaining lineup will be announced gradually.
Hop BroBreaking news: Y.Y.G. Factory is turning 10! Ahead of the April 3-5 weekend, they’ve previewed four collaboration beers first.
MugiWhoa! That’s already exciting! What kinds of beers are coming?
Hop BroFirst, there’s a collab with @kbl_the_garage for a SOUR IPA and a DARK LAGER. Then there are two beers from a collab with @mahowbrew, but their styles haven’t been revealed yet.
MugiWait, what! That "beer types" wording sounds kind of scary, like a science lab!
Hop BroIt just means, roughly, "the kinds of beers they’re putting out." This time they’re aiming for 14 taps total, and a lot are still marked as ???, so the plan is to reveal them little by little until the day itself.
MugiNice! Going from a tart SOUR IPA to a toasty DARK LAGER is a huge range. This is the kind of lineup that makes tasting through them a blast!
Hop BroExactly. The pairing flow looks good too. If you start with sour-driven beers early and finish with roasty ones later, the overall experience becomes much more layered.
MugiYou even use "flow" for beer? Your brain is basically a taproom floor plan now, Hop!
Hop BroAnd on top of running the Brewery/Beer Kitchen, YYG also operates the Factory in Nagusa, Chuo Ward, Chiba City, so they have a strong two-pronged setup for both production and service. The follow-up on the three 10th anniversary beers will be big news.
MugiIt’s settled! I’m starting with the SOUR IPA, and you’re on DARK LAGER duty, Hop. We’re definitely going April 3-5!
In Y.Y.G. Factory's Instagram post (March 3, 2026), part of the tap list for the anniversary period from Friday, April 3, to Sunday, April 5 was announced. The four beers identified in the post as "the four currently decided" are the following collaboration beers.
- `@kbl_the_garage` collaboration / SOUR IPA
- `@kbl_the_garage` collaboration / DARK LAGER
- `@mahowbrew` collaboration / style not yet revealed (2 beers)
The post also teased the planned release of three Y.Y.G. 10th Anniversary beers. Of the assumed 14 taps in total, many remain marked as "???", so the idea is to roll out information step by step until the anniversary day. Judging from the range of styles, the lineup looks likely to span everything from sour-driven beers to roasty ones, and how the tasting sequence is designed will be a point of interest.
Y.Y.G. Factory is also running, on its official site, a Factory in Chiba City (Nagusa, Chuo Ward) in addition to its Brewery/Beer Kitchen operations. It has built a setup for delivering craft beer through both production and food service.
Once the unrevealed styles from the two collaboration partners, as well as details on the three original 10th anniversary beers, are released, the way to move through the three-day weekend will become much clearer. This is an introductory announcement that is well worth following for updates.
