In an Instagram post on May 19, Chuo Line Beer Works announced that it will make its first appearance at the "#TOYODA Beer Fest," held on Saturday, May 23, and Sunday, May 24. The venue is the south rotary of Toyoda Station. In the post, the brewery says it will take part in the event, now in its 11th year, and explains that "10 breweries from around the region will set up booths, including Toyoda Beer, which was born in Toyoda."
On the day of the event, the brewery will serve its three standard beers, along with the limited-edition "Poppoya Ale," on tap. Payment at the venue will be limited to transit IC cards such as Suica, credit cards, and QR code payments; cash will not be accepted. Event hours are 12:00 to 20:00 on the 23rd and 10:00 to 16:00 on the 24th. It will be held rain or shine, but canceled in the event of severe weather.
Chuo Line Beer Works is a brewery based in Koganei, Tokyo. On its official website, it presents the philosophy of "building a bridge to the town with beer that started at the station," and develops its brewing business against the backdrop of hop-growing efforts by people along the Chuo Line and station staff. Another distinguishing feature is that it is run by a former station employee brewer. At its taproom under the JR Chuo Line elevated tracks, visitors can enjoy not only its own beers but also guest beers, mainly from the Tama area.
This appearance should be an opportunity to convey its position as a brewery rooted along the line. By comparing the three standard beers and the limited release at the event venue, visitors will likely get a fuller sense of where Chuo Line Beer Works stands today.
