Hop BroThe 9th festival announced by TDM 1874 Brewery will be held for three days at Shimokita Senrogai Akichi in Shimokitazawa.
MugiWait, it’s free to enter in Shimokitazawa? A festival that casual sounds amazing!
Hop BroExactly. It runs from April 3 to 5, and the different ways to enjoy Friday night, Saturday, and Sunday make it a weekend-long highlight.
MugiBut what does it mean that you need to pay the reusable cup fee only for the first drink?
Hop BroBasically, it’s a system for using the cup repeatedly instead of throwing it away. It’s better for the environment, so it’s the festival’s eco-friendly design.
MugiI see! So which breweries are coming? Sounds like a star-studded lineup?
Hop BroIn addition to TDM 1874 Brewery, Ushitora Brewery, DevilCraft Brewery, West Coast Brewing, and Kyoto Brewing are coming too, so it’s a pretty nationwide lineup.
MugiWow, there are names I don’t even know! And they’re even offering cocktails? So it’s not just beer.
Hop BroThat’s right. Ezo Beer is listed as providing cocktails, and since each brewery’s lineup hasn’t been announced yet, it’s important to keep checking for updates on the day.
MugiThen it’s a beer tasting in springtime Shimokitazawa! I’m curious about TDM away from home, and this really makes me want to go!
Hop BroNo doubt about it. Start with a TDM pour, and before you know it you’re making the rounds at every booth. I’m already in the mood to raise a glass.
