Choshi Beer to Hold a Tasting Event at Careguild in Bunkyo on July 17
Choshi Beer will host its Choshi Iine Fair at Careguild in Bunkyo, Tokyo on July 17. The event includes a tasting lineup, Choshi-inspired snacks, and a talk by representative Yoshie Sakuma, bringing the brewery’s local story to Tokyo.
Hop BroI want to talk about the Choshiiine! Fair today. On July 17, Careguild in Bunkyo will host a tasting event centered on Choshi Beer.
MugiWhat, you can get the Choshi Beer experience in Tokyo? A tasting event already sounds dangerously tempting!
Hop BroThe setup is solid. It starts at 5:30 p.m., seats are limited to 20 people, the fee is 4,000 yen, and it even comes with Choshi-style snacks.
MugiNo way, an event with snacks included? That suddenly feels very serious in the best possible way.
Hop BroThat is exactly what makes Choshi Beer interesting. They make beers like Choshi Ale for local fish, with a clear focus on matching the local food culture.
MugiHold on, food pairing focus? Is that like wine pairing? Does beer really change that much with food?
Hop BroIt really does. Malt richness, hop aroma, and carbonation can all change how the fish tastes. They also have a beer called One for All SMaSH!
MugiWhat is that? SMaSH sounds like a finisher move in a fighting game. What does it actually mean?
Hop BroI was waiting for that question. SMaSH means single malt and single hop, so the recipe is stripped down and the ingredients speak clearly.
MugiOkay, that is cool. So instead of piling everything in, they let the basics shine. Now I really want to hear the brewer's talk from Sakuma too.
Hop BroAnd that is part of the event. Sakuma will speak, and they will sell canned beer and original merch too. Since it is five minutes from Nezu Station, you get the whole Choshi vibe in Tokyo.
MugiThis is settled then. With only 20 spots, I would want to book early, taste everything, eat well, and leave with cans in both hands.
Hop BroExactly. A tasting like this feels like it could show you the scenery behind the beer, so it is the kind of event that makes you want a pint at Careguild immediately.
MugiTotally. My stomach and my thirst both surrendered already. July 17 is officially a need Choshi Beer now kind of day!
Choshi Beer will hold its "Choshi Iine Fair" at Careguild in Bunkyo, Tokyo on Friday, July 17. The event starts at 5:30 p.m., is limited to 20 attendees, and costs 4,000 yen. The fee includes a tasting flight of Choshi Beer along with snacks inspired by the Choshi area.
The program also includes a talk by Choshi Beer representative Yoshie Sakuma and a corner introducing the appeal of Choshi. Canned beer and original merchandise will also be on sale, so the event is designed not just as a tasting session but as a way to learn more about the brewery’s outlook and the region behind it. Careguild is listed as being about a five-minute walk from Nezu Station.
Choshi Beer is produced by Choshi Cheers, a brewery based in Choshi, Chiba. On its official site, the company describes its approach as "connecting what exists and creating what does not," and it continues to build craft beers rooted in Choshi. Its lineup includes Choshi Ale, presented as a beer suited to local fish dishes, and One for All SMaSH!, the first beer brewed at the Inubo brewery. The brand’s products are closely tied to local food, scenery, and everyday life.
This fair offers a small-scale way to experience Choshi Beer’s world in Tokyo while highlighting the brewery’s regional identity.
