At the beer pub “04&Beer” in Niigata’s Furumachi area, a May 18 post announced the latest tap rotation. The shop is located at 8-bancho, Nishiborimaedori, Chuo Ward, Niigata City, Niigata Prefecture, and is an easy stop for people who want to keep up with craft beer in their daily lives.

In the day’s announcement, the shop first reported that Swan Lake’s “OVERTURE” had kicked. It also noted that it can be enjoyed at @ovenbarstove near the station. The shop wrote, “If you haven’t had it yet, run,” suggesting that this popular beer moves fast.

The four newly available beers are:

- Hefe weizen / Plank Brewery (Bavaria)
- from scratch / a blonde ale / Shiga Kogen Beer (Nagano)
- Chotto, Latte yo! / Ushitora Brewery (Tochigi)
- Osaru IPA (Real Ale) / Minoh Beer (Osaka)

Looking at the lineup, the range stretches from a Weizen to a blonde ale, a flavor-driven beer, and even an IPA served as a real ale, making it easy to build a tasting lineup from the first pint onward. The post also said, “Closed tomorrow” and “Open today at 5 p.m.,” so it would be wise to check the operating status before visiting.

If you want to track keg rotations in Furumachi, shops like 04&Beer that regularly announce specific beers are easy to follow. If a beer catches your eye, it may be best to stop by early.
