Hop BroFukuoka Craft Brewing has a booth at Tobu Department Store Ikebukuro's Umakamon♪ Yokamon♪ Fukuoka Fair. Fukuoka flavors coming all the way to Ikebukuro is pretty exciting, isn't it?
MugiWait, Fukuoka vibes in Ikebukuro? And they even have craft beer there? That's basically a win already.
Hop BroWhat's more, it's running from May 21 to 26, with business hours from 10:00 to 19:00. They'll be selling cans at the venue, so it's easy to take home too.
MugiSelling it in cans is pretty unusual, right? I wonder why they aren't serving draft.
Hop BroAt a specialty fair, portability matters most. The point isn't just drinking it at the venue - cans make it easy to bring home and enjoy it slowly later.
MugiI see! So Fukuoka Craft Brewing is a brewery in Okagaki Town, right? I'm kind of imagining the sea and wind of Fukuoka already!
Hop BroExactly. They're based in Okagaki Town, Onga District, Fukuoka Prefecture, and they have a full-scale brewing facility there. One of the attractions is that you can drink freshly brewed beer at the attached cafe, or taproom.
MugiTaproom sounds like a super technical term out of nowhere! Am I right that it means a place where you can drink freshly brewed beer?
Hop BroThat's right. It's basically a dining space attached to the brewery, and the distance to the brewer feels close. What's interesting is how easy it is to sense the intent behind the flavor.
MugiThat's great - feeling Fukuoka's atmosphere in Ikebukuro, and being able to take it home in a can too. I definitely want to check out the taste from Okagaki Town!
Hop BroAt the end of the day, it's the kind of event that makes you want to choose a beer, open it at home, and toast to the Fukuoka Fair. I already want to go right now.
MugiI'm totally in that mood too! Heading home with cans in hand and drinking slowly at night sounds absolutely perfect!
Exhibiting at Tobu Ikebukuro's Fukuoka Fair

In a post on its official Instagram, the company announced that the event runs from May 21 to 26 and that business hours are 10:00 to 19:00, adding that it will sell craft beer in cans.
From the brewery in Okagaki Town to Tokyo

On its official website, it says it has established a full-scale brewing facility in Okagaki Town, where visitors can enjoy freshly brewed beer at the adjacent cafe, or taproom. Bringing beer brewed in a nature-rich setting not only to the local area but also to urban events is a straightforward way to understand the brand's identity.
New touchpoints through a specialty fair
This Fukuoka Fair serves as an event introducing Fukuoka's food and craftsmanship in Tokyo, making it an easy stop for beer fans as well. Since the beer is sold in cans rather than on draft, it is easier to take home, which adds to its appeal. It is a good chance to casually check out the flavor nurtured at the Okagaki Town brewery at the Ikebukuro venue.
