Hop BroThis one’s worth talking about: Monterey Brewing is joining Oedo Beer Festival 2026 Autumn Season 1. A brewery from Shiojiri, Nagano is heading into the city.
MugiWait, so we can drink Nagano in Shinagawa!? Local apples and sansho in the middle of Tokyo sounds way too strong.
Hop BroThe venue is Shinagawa Intercity in front of the S&R building, and Season 1 runs from September 1 to September 5. Best part: admission is free, so it’s easy to sample around.
MugiFree entry is wallet-friendly magic! But what beers is Monterey bringing?
Hop BroThe lineup is strong: an apple-based Fruit Ale from Shinshu, a Belgian with sansho and citrus, an IPA made with beets, and even a Shine Muscat Ale.
MugiHold on, what is Belgian here? Does the beer arrive with a tiny passport?
Hop BroNo airport needed. In this case, Belgian means a style using Belgian-style yeast, which tends to create floral aromas and spicy character.
MugiWhoa, so with sansho and citrus it turns into a Japanese citrus bomb!? My nose is getting busy just hearing that.
Hop BroExactly. And the beet IPA is visually wild too, which really fits Monterey Brewing’s habit of pushing local ingredients all the way.
MugiThat settles it, I’m joining the festival tasting mission in Season 1! Apples to sansho with a glass in hand sounds like a Nagano field trip.
Hop BroStart with apple, move to sansho, then finish on Shine Muscat. Just talking about it makes me want a pour right now.
MugiSame here! A glass of Shinshu in Shinagawa is basically calling our names.
