Hoping Hill Brewery to Hold Preview Tasting for New Beer "GALACTIC COMET" on May 30
Hoping Hill Brewery will hold a completion unveiling ceremony and tasting event for its new beer "GALACTIC COMET" on May 30, 2026, at Michi-no-Eki Kakuda. In addition to a limited tasting of 100 cups, draft service will also begin at Rikyu Kakuda.
Hop BroSo Hoping Hill Brewery is holding a preview tasting for the new beer "GALACTIC COMET" on May 30, right? The venue is Michi-no-Eki Kakuda, and it feels great that they’re unveiling it locally first.
MugiWait, it’s limited to just 100 cups!? That sounds like it’ll be gone in seconds. I’d be willing to live at the front of the line!
Hop BroAnd it’s not just the completion ceremony either. They’re also serving Japanese sweets. Pairing sweet treats with a new beer shows real event planning care, doesn’t it?
MugiWhat, beer with Japanese sweets? And the article says it goes especially well with gyutan too. My stomach is way too busy!
Hop BroThat’s what makes it feel like Hoping Hill Brewery. Their focus has always been on making beer that complements food. The style hasn’t been revealed in the article yet, but you can tell it’s designed to be enjoyed with a meal.
MugiOhhh, so starting draft service at Rikyu Kakuda in Kakuda, Miyagi, is also a pretty serious way to push it!
Hop BroExactly. Having it on draft in the store gives it that freshly made feel all at once. The carbonation and aroma open up differently, so even the same beer can leave a very different impression.
MugiWow, hearing that makes me want to drink it! And getting an early taste in the local area is irresistible for fans!
Hop BroSince it’s a brewery run by Rikyu, connecting the event venue and its own store creates a very clear path for people. Try it first at Michi-no-Eki Kakuda, then enjoy it on draft at the Kakuda store if you like it. That flow makes perfect sense.
MugiAlright, then May 30 is the day to watch. One drink at Michi-no-Eki Kakuda, another at the Kakuda store, and I think dinner is already decided for the day!
Rikyu, which operates Hoping Hill Brewery, will hold an event to commemorate the release of its new product, "GALACTIC COMET," at the event venue at Michi-no-Eki Kakuda starting at 11:00 a.m. on Saturday, May 30, 2026.
In addition to the completion unveiling ceremony, a tasting session limited to 100 cups will be held that day. Rikyu also plans to serve Japanese sweets at the venue, and the event is being presented as a chance to taste the new beer before its official debut.
In addition, Rikyu Kakuda in Kakuda, Miyagi, will begin selling "GALACTIC COMET" on draft from kegs. The recommendation to enjoy it together with gyutan is another move that reflects the brewery's focus on food pairing, which has long been characteristic of Hoping Hill Brewery.
Hoping Hill Brewery is known as the brewery operated by Rikyu, the gyutan charcoal-grill restaurant brand, and has continued making beers designed to complement food. This rollout, which combines a local event venue with the company’s own store, is also an easy-to-understand way to bring a new release to the local area. Anyone eager to try the new beer first should check out Michi-no-Eki Kakuda or Rikyu Kakuda on May 30.
