Hop BroThere’s a Graduation Beer Event 2026 at OGA BREWING COMPANY in Mitaka on Thursday, March 26 and Sunday, March 29, and it’s a hot springtime piece of news!
MugiWait, three graduates brewed it? That’s way too青春! So these are works by An, Aria, and Liam!?
Hop BroExactly, and since it’s being held in the brewery’s taproom during regular business hours, it’s easy to drop in casually.
MugiI want to go! But what style is it? IPA? Sour? Something dark? Is there any beer style info?
Hop BroAs of the post, the details are still unreleased, so the style is probably a day-of surprise. It sounds like a session where you can compare the personalities of the three beers all at once.
MugiWhen I hear about a tasting, it suddenly feels pro-level... Also, that "taproom" you mentioned is a bar attached to the brewery, right?
Hop BroCorrect! OGA also sells growlers, so it has great takeaway options too. It’s within walking distance of the station, so it’s easy to experience craft beer in everyday life.
MugiOhhh! "Growler" sounds kind of strong, haha. So basically it’s a beer take-home bottle!
Hop BroYep, just keep an eye on the times: last order is 7:30 p.m. (food is 7:15 p.m.). On Monday, March 23 only, because of a private booking, it moves up to 5:30 p.m.
MugiGot it, and it’s closed Tuesdays and open 11:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m.! Chasing a limited release in springtime Mitaka sounds perfect, so I have no choice but to go drink!
