Motoyamacho Brewery to Join San no Maru BEER GROOVE in Mito on June 26-28
Motoyamacho Brewery in Mito, Ibaraki, has shared its June schedule on Instagram. The highlight is a three-day appearance at San no Maru BEER GROOVE in central Mito from June 26 to 28, alongside other local breweries and food vendors.
Hop BroHere’s a good one from Mito: Motoyamacho Brewery is joining Sannomaru BEER GROOVE from June 26 to 28.
MugiWhat, three days in a row!? Sannomaru BEER GROOVE already sounds like a party before the first pour!
Hop BroIt’s the third time they’ve held it, and it brings together Ibaraki breweries plus food vendors for a three-day beer event.
MugiOooh, so this is one of those compare-and-enjoy setups where you say “just one” and accidentally do a full tasting tour?
Hop BroExactly. Their Instagram post also mentioned tank racking work getting messy because hop residue clogged things up during production.
MugiWait, what is tank racking work? That suddenly sounds way more intense than me opening a can at home!
Hop BroIt’s basically separating beer from the settled solids after fermentation, and when hop residue gets stuck, the whole flow slows down and turns into extra work.
MugiThat is wild. One little update and suddenly you can feel the brewery floor energy like you’re standing next to the tank.
Hop BroThe post focused on the event, so no beer name announced yet, and the style lineup is still a mystery for now.
MugiSo it could be an IPA, a lager, anything? I’m ready for a full style prediction contest before we even get there!
Hop BroThat’s part of the fun. Outside the regular taproom, you get the brewers, the food, and the event-only atmosphere all in one place.
MugiNow I really want to go. Late June in Mito with food in one hand and a pour from Motoyamacho Brewery in the other sounds perfect!
Motoyamacho Brewery has posted an update on its June plans on Instagram. The opening of the post also mentions an unexpected bit of brewery work: while drawing off sediment from a fermentation tank, hop residue got clogged and created more work than expected. It is the kind of detail that gives the post a very brewery-specific feel.
Late-June plans: San no Maru BEER GROOVE
The main announcement is a three-day appearance at San no Maru BEER GROOVE on June 26 (Fri), 27 (Sat), and 28 (Sun). The event is held in the San no Maru area of Mito at @beergroove310. According to the post, it brings together breweries in Ibaraki that are actively making craft beer, and this will be the third edition.
Motoyamacho Brewery is a craft brewery based in Mito, Ibaraki. Events like this offer drinkers a chance to compare different local brewers side by side and to see how each brewery expresses its own style. The post also notes that food vendors from various directions will support the event, so visitors can expect a beer-and-food lineup rather than beer alone.
Compared with a regular taproom visit, a festival setting adds another layer: the connections between brewers, the pace of the season, and the sense of place. For anyone following craft beer in Mito, the final weekend of June looks like a date worth keeping in mind.
