MugiHuh, are British-style beers really that varied? So it's not just "beers that feel British"!
Hop BroExactly. It's a gathering where you can enjoy the distinct character of ales with British, Irish, and Scottish leanings. The appeal of the British style is being able to compare the malt richness, restrained aroma, and easy drinkability at a leisurely pace.
MugiOh, I see! But what exactly is so great about malt depth? That sounds suddenly so expert-level, it's making me nervous!
Hop BroSimply put, it means the sweetness and toastiness of the grain tend to take center stage. One of the highlights this time is Chichibu Beer Brewery, which is also known for the in-house GOGO Series, and they'll also be offering a collaboration beer made with ORB from the UK.
MugiORB hasn't come to Japan yet! And a collab with Chichibu Beer? Just hearing Japan-UK collaboration makes it exciting!
Hop BroWhat's also interesting is that it uses Manriki, a legendary wheat from Chichibu. Since the grain's character really comes forward, it's likely to go in a direction that's not just flashy, but quietly and deeply delicious.
MugiA legendary grain already sounds delicious just from the name! But if you ask, what is Manriki?, the staff will probably explain it with a huge smile!
Hop BroOn the 17th, Bighand Bros. head brewer Nakamura-san and Inn Beers, the importer of British beer, Kagami-san, are also scheduled to visit. Being able to drink while hearing directly from the makers and importers is one of the pleasures of guest appearances by related staff.
MugiThat's the kind of night where the tasting just won't stop! After work, I want to stop by Ginza, snack on some limited food, and slowly enjoy British-style ales!
Hop BroExactly. It's an event to enjoy drinkability and depth rather than flash, so wandering in casually with a beer-pub mindset is just right.
MugiNow I completely want to go! The phrase a drink in Ginza is just too strong, and today makes me want to toast with British-style ale!
Event Overview

Featured Lineup
One of the main attractions this time is the familiar Chichibu Beer Brewery at IBREW GINZA.

The shop, located in Yaesu 2-chome, is an easy-to-use beer pub that's casual to drop into, and it's a good fit for leisurely enjoying British-style ales after work. It's for people who want to check out malt depth and drinkability more than flash.
