Hop BroBreaking news: Fukuoka brewery Nekobeer is holding a TTO at Bajezagurado in Kobe! The taps open at 3:00 PM on March 2, and the pour volume is a whopping 200 liters.
MugiWhat!? 200 liters is bathtub-sized! What's a TTO?
Hop BroTTO stands for tap takeover, an event where kegs from one brewery are poured all at once. The appeal is that you can taste Nekobeer's personality all at once.
MugiOhhh! So it's like a "Nekobeer festival"? And what are the beers this time?
Hop BroThose details haven't been revealed in this announcement. The beer names are still a day-of surprise, and the styles haven't been announced either, but because it's a TTO, there's a strong chance you'll be able to compare several styles.
MugiStyles? Like "dressy" or "street" in fashion?
Hop BroThat's actually pretty close! Beer styles are like flavor genres, such as IPA or stout. The fun part is choosing among bitter, aroma-forward, and light-bodied options.
MugiWait, it even says the head brewer will be there, so this is the kind of event where you can say to your favorite maker, "I love this aroma!" directly!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, Fukuoka's "Beerkichi" and "Kichii" will be operating as usual. It's the kind of move that fits today's craft scene, pushing into Kobe while keeping the home base covered.
MugiShould I chase the TTO in Kobe, or enjoy regular service in Fukuoka... either way is amazing! I want to drink Nekobeer right now!
TTO information from Nekobeer, a brewery based in Fukuoka, is drawing attention from craft beer fans.
This announcement was made in an Instagram post from the beer bar "BEERKICHI." In the post text, it is described as "Let's Go to Kobe! vol. 2", announcing that a "Nekobeer TTO" will be held at Bajezagurado in Kobe. The post also clearly states 3:00 PM opening, 200L available on the day, and that the head brewer will also participate.
A TTO is a format in which kegs from a single brewery are served intensively, making it easy to experience the brewer's character and range all at once. For Nekobeer, which comes out of Fukuoka, holding the event in Kobe is also an opportunity to broaden contact with drinkers outside its home region.
The post also says that on the day of the event, Fukuoka's "Beerkichi" and "Kichii" will remain open as usual, ensuring a path for fans who cannot attend in person from afar. A Fukuoka brewery making its presence felt outside the prefecture while still maintaining a place where people can drink at home seems like a very current craft beer scene development.
