Garyu Brewing, based in Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture, will hold "ISEKADO WEEK" at "STAND SEVENs GARYU BREWING" in Matsuyama from April 24 to May 6. This limited-time Golden Week event will line up taps from Garyu Brewing and Ise Kadoya Beer side by side.
Hop BroMatsuyama’s ISEKADO WEEK is bringing a pretty hot lineup. Garyu Brewing is teaming up with Ise Kadoya Beer at "STAND SEVENs GARYU BREWING" to liven up Golden Week.
MugiWhoa! A collab with Isekado already sounds delicious just from the name! And it’s perfect for Golden Week too. What’s it like?
Hop BroThe event runs from April 24 to May 6. There’ll be 15 Garyu taps and 10 taps from Ise Kadoya Beer, so it’s set up for serious tasting comparisons.
MugiIf there are so many taps, does that mean there are that many kinds? Wait, 15 taps? Do beers come out like a faucet?
Hop BroExactly, taps are the pour spouts. So it’s basically a tasting paradise, and from Ise Kadoya Beer you’ll find everything from classics to characterful picks like "Pale Ale," "Hime White," "Neko ni Hiki," and "Ohi-sama Ale."
MugiWhat is that! Just the name "Neko ni Hiki" already wins. The name power is so strong I’d want to order it first!
Hop BroBut the beers themselves are solid too. A pale ale offers a balance of aroma and bitterness, Hime White brings soft wheat character, and you can really enjoy the differences in aroma and bitterness.
MugiOhhh! And Garyu Brewing is based at the former Hodo Silk Cocoon Warehouse site in Ozu, right? With that kind of background, beer suddenly feels so dramatic!
Hop BroExactly. Since they’ve continued community-rooted brewing and make beers using local specialties, this downtown project has real meaning too.
MugiAnd the venue is inside Matsuchika Town, so it’s easy to stop by. You could just drop in for a drink while shopping! I definitely want to put this on my Golden Week plan!
Hop BroIn the end, it’s an event you can use for your first drink or your last stop, and being able to enjoy Garyu and Ise Kadoya together in Matsuyama is rare. This is definitely the kind of thing that makes you want to go out for a drink.
Garyu Brewing, a craft beer brewery based in Ozu City, Ehime Prefecture, will hold a Golden Week event called "ISEKADO WEEK" at "STAND SEVENs GARYU BREWING" in central Matsuyama. The event will run from Friday, April 24, 2026, to Wednesday, May 6, 2026 (national holiday). In its post, the brewery said it is partnering with Ise Kadoya Beer to offer a lineup that lets visitors enjoy beers from both breweries together.
The venue is expected to feature 15 taps from Garyu Brewing and 10 taps from Ise Kadoya Beer. From Ise Kadoya Beer, offerings such as "Pale Ale," "Hime White," "Neko ni Hiki," and "Ohi-sama Ale" are listed, suggesting a wide range of tasting options from standards to more distinctive styles. With Garyu Brewing’s beers added as well, the highlight of the event is the chance to experience differences in aroma, bitterness, and body all at once.
Garyu Brewing is based at the red-brick warehouse in Ozu City, the former Hodo Silk Cocoon Warehouse site, and has continued brewing beers that use local specialties as adjunct ingredients, as well as efforts to make beer together with people with disabilities. With that background as a brewery rooted in the local community, this collaboration with the popular Mie-based brewery Ise Kadoya Beer will bring new craft beer choices into downtown Matsuyama.
The venue is inside "Matsuchika Town" at 5-1-1 Minatomachi, Matsuyama City. Conveniently located for dropping in while shopping or dining out, it looks suited both for the first drink of a Golden Week outing and for the final round of a tasting session. This project, where a brewery from Ehime Prefecture intersects with a popular brewery from another region, seems likely to offer a renewed sense of the breadth of craft beer.
