Hop BroA weekend beer alert is here: Muika Craft Brewing’s Niyodogawa Brewery is setting up shop right in central Kochi City for two weekends in March!
MugiWhat?! A mountain brewery is coming into the city?! They really closed the distance all of a sudden!
Hop BroOn March 7, 8, 14, and 15, they’ll be at Central Park for "Tosa no Okyaku," with beer service and bottle sales from 10:00 to 21:00. And on March 8 only, they’ll also do bottle sales at the Furusato Marche at "Tosa no Sato" from 9:00 to 15:00. Nice route planning, honestly.
Mugi“Route planning” just turned into a marketing term! Also, does “beer service” mean draft beer?
Hop BroExactly. Draft means beer poured from a tap, while bottles are better for taking home. You can try it at the event, then bring your favorite home for another round.
MugiOhhh! So it’s the kind of thing where you sample on site and bring your favorite labels home!
Hop BroBy the way, only on Sunday, March 8, the taproom "Blue Brew" will be closed; otherwise it will operate as usual. It’s in Shimo-Nangokawa, Niyodogawa Town, and it’s normally a place where you can drink beer in a mountain setting.
MugiWhat is that! Running the city event and the home base at the same time is basically brewery clone magic!
Hop BroPretty much. And what defines this brewery is its brewing based on water from the Niyodo River system. The article doesn’t reveal the beer names or specific styles, but expectations are high for the clean character that comes from the water.
MugiIf they haven’t revealed the lineup, that makes it even more exciting! I want to stand at the tap and agonize over which one to start with!
Hop BroThen first round at Central Park, secure a bottle if you like it, and after that it’s the Blue Brew expedition course in Niyodogawa Town.
MugiDeal! My mouth is already in craft-beer standby mode. I want to toast right now!

Brewery Background
Based in Niyodogawa Town, the brewery emphasizes brewing with water from the Niyodo River system. Its official website also highlights the Niyodo River’s water environment as a local strength, and its style is characterized by offering beer together with the area’s water, food, and nature experiences. The taproom, "Blue Brew Taproom," is located in Shimo-Nangokawa, Niyodogawa Town, Agawa District, Kochi Prefecture, and usually serves beer in a mountainous setting.
This time, that "mountain brewery" is heading into central Kochi City, giving visitors a chance to enjoy both draft beer and bottles at city events. The combination of a booth at Central Park and retail sales at Tosa no Sato also suggests an effort to appeal to both locals and tourists.
