Magic Hour Shimotakaido to Host Aug. 29 Third-Anniversary Party, Release Collaboration Beer with Kunitachi Brewery
Magic Hour Shimotakaido Main Store has announced its August schedule. The beer pub will hold a third-anniversary party on August 29 and plans to release a collaboration anniversary beer brewed with Kunitachi Brewery.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Magic Hour’s 3rd anniversary. The Shimo-Takaido main shop is throwing a party on August 29 and releasing a third-anniversary beer brewed with Kunitachi Brewery.
MugiWait, so August is anniversary month? And there’s a commemorative beer too? My calendar is about to get aggressively decorated.
Hop BroYep, and from August 22 to 28 they’re running 3rd Anniversary Week. On August 16 they’re even doing a beer run and beer stroll on the same day. Run, walk, then drink. Very efficient.
MugiWhat is this, the perfect drinking route? I’d finish my first pint at record speed just from feeling athletic.
Hop BroThe biggest draw is the third-anniversary beer. The exact name and style haven’t been announced yet, but the fact that it’s a special collaboration brew already makes it exciting.
MugiHold on, what does special collaboration brew even mean? Please tell me nobody is summoning hops with candles.
Hop BroNothing that mystical. It means they build the beer for the occasion from recipe to ingredients. Recipe design is basically deciding the aroma, body, and finish before brewing starts.
MugiOhh, so it’s like a flavor blueprint! That makes it way less scary for beginners like me to ask for something bright and aromatic.
Hop BroExactly. Magic Hour focuses on Japanese craft beer, plus gin, wine, and house food. Their hot dog is a signature too, with house-made bread and fresh sausage, so the pairing potential is serious.
MugiNow I’m hungry and thirsty at the same time. On August 29 this feels like more than one pint territory, and I want both the regular lineup and the anniversary release.
August is anniversary month
Magic Hour Shimotakaido Main Store, a beer pub in Setagaya’s Akatsutsumi area, shared its August business schedule on Instagram. The post says there will be no full closing days, while listing the owner’s days off as August 4, 5, 10, 12, 17, 18, 24, and 25.
Three event highlights
On August 16, the pub will hold its first combined "beer run & beer walk" event, billed as "Magiwa Beer Run & Beer Walk." It is a straightforward, beer-lover-friendly idea: run, walk, and then drink.
From August 22 to 23, and again from August 24 to 28, the pub will host "Magic Hour 3rd Anniversary Week." Food and special programming will be announced separately.
The main finale comes on August 29 with the "3rd Anniversary Party." The post says a "3rd Anniversary Beer" will be released, brewed in collaboration with Kunitachi Brewery.
A pub worth following
Magic Hour focuses on Japanese craft beer, and also serves craft gin, wine, and snacks. Its homemade-bread hot dogs with fresh sausage are another draw. With anniversary programming filling the month, August looks like a good time to visit for both the regular lineup and the commemorative beer.
