Keika Brewing to pour four beers at the Misawa Tanabata Festival from July 24
The Asamushi-based brewpub will set up at the Sky Plaza parking area next to Nakai Sake Shop during the Misawa Tanabata Festival, from July 24 to 26. The lineup includes Zanko, Senrin, Steady, and Sunny, with service planned to start around 3 p.m.
Hop BroPerfect summer festival news just dropped: Hotarubi Brewing is setting up at the Misawa Tanabata Festival starting July 24.
MugiWhat! Craft beer at a festival? Misawa Tanabata Festival already sounds like a winning plan.
Hop BroAnd it runs from July 24 to 26, at the Sky Plaza parking lot on the Nakai Liquor Store side, starting around 3 p.m.
MugiOh wow! A 3 p.m. start means I can do one lap of the stalls and then make a first-beer dash for it!
Hop BroThey’re bringing four beers: Zanko is a Golden Ale, Senrin is an IPA, Steady is a pilsner, and Sunny is a fruit IPA.
MugiHold on, what is a fruit IPA? In my head, fruit just started sprinting through a hop field!
Hop BroThat image is way too energetic, but not totally wrong. An IPA has hop-driven bitterness, and the fruit side adds bright aroma and flavor, making it feel more lively and approachable.
MugiOkay, got it! Then would Zanko the golden ale and Steady the pilsner be good for beginners too?
Hop BroThat’s exactly Hotarubi’s strength. They focus on drinkability that pairs with local food, and three straight years at this festival says people clearly keep coming back for them.
MugiAnd if Kinsei Brewing is there too, we can even compare pours! At this point I can only picture festival cheers with a cold cup in hand!
Event Details
Keika Brewing, a brewpub in Asamushi, Aomori City, will appear at the Misawa Tanabata Festival from Friday, July 24, to Sunday, July 26. According to the post, the booth will be located on the Nakai Sake Shop side of the Sky Plaza parking area, with service expected to start around 3 p.m.
The brewery says it will bring four beers:
- Zanko (Golden Ale)
- Senrin (IPA)
- Steady (PILSNER)
- Sunny (FRUIT IPA)
The lineup spans four different styles, making it easy to choose a beer to match the moment, from a crisp golden ale to an IPA, a pilsner, and a fruit IPA. The post also notes that Keika Brewing has participated in the festival for three consecutive years since the brewery opened, suggesting that it has become a familiar summer presence in the area.
In addition, Kinsei Brewery is also scheduled to join the event. For beer fans visiting the festival, it should be a good chance to enjoy Aomori craft beer alongside the summer festivities. Back in Asamushi, Keika Brewing continues to focus on beers that fit well with local food, and this event extends that approach into one of Misawa's major summer celebrations.
