Hop BroI’ve got a good one today: TAP ROOM 99 in Chiba is throwing a 2nd anniversary event from September 4 to 6.
MugiWhat! Three whole days? And the star is 99 HOPPY LAGER? That name already sounds dangerously drinkable!
Hop BroThat’s the hook. It’s a commemorative brew with the shop manager joining the brewing, and the style is a hoppy lager.
MugiWait, what is a hoppy lager even supposed to be? Is it a lager, or is it a hop parade wearing a lager costume?
Hop BroThat’s the fun part: you keep lager-like crispness but add a brighter hop aroma, so it stays easy to drink while still feeling expressive.
MugiOhh, so it’s clean but still fragrant. And during the event it’s all craft beer for 550 yen, which is very kind to my wallet.
Hop BroExactly, and TAP ROOM 99 also leans on kegs sent directly from KANKIKU BREWERY, so you’re chasing seriously fresh draft the whole time.
MugiDirect-from-brewery already sounds great. But then I saw straight glass service and suddenly I felt like I needed safety goggles.
Hop BroNothing scary there. It just means a simpler glass shape, which makes for easy side-by-side tasting and lets the flavors come through clearly.
MugiAnd they’ve got rock-paper-scissors at 8 and 10 p.m., a checkout garapon draw, and stickers too? That is festival energy everywhere.
Hop BroPlus on September 5 at 9 p.m. there’s a talk event with head brewer Matsuo, and limited food too, so arriving early feels like the smart move.
MugiYeah, this is settled. A special anniversary pint in Chiba with snacks on the side? I’m thirsty just thinking about it.
TAP ROOM 99, a brewery taproom within walking distance of JR Chiba Station, is marking its second anniversary. The venue describes itself as a hideaway-style space serving brewery-direct draft beer and seasonal dishes made with Chiba-grown ingredients.
The anniversary event runs from September 4 to 6. The highlight is 99 HOPPY LAGER, a limited beer brewed with the shop manager’s participation for the occasion. It is being presented as the commemorative beer for the taproom’s second year.
For beer drinkers, the pricing is straightforward: all craft beers are 550 yen during the event, served in straight glasses. That makes the taproom a practical stop for tasting through the lineup while focusing on fresh draft pours.
Other event features include limited anniversary food such as snacks, pizza, and sweets, a rock-paper-scissors contest held every day at 20:00 and 22:00, a gacha-style prize challenge at checkout, and sticker gifts for visitors. A talk event with head brewer Matsuo is also scheduled for September 5 at 21:00.
Reservations are accepted by phone, the official website, and Tabelog. Since the limited beer and anniversary menu items are available in limited quantities, early visits are recommended during busy hours.
