Saraeru to Host a Six-Beer Simultaneous Tap Opening Event with Amakusa Sonar Beer on May 8
Saraeru in Kagawa will host a "TAP TAKE OVER EVENT" welcoming Amakusa Sonar Beer from Amakusa, Kumamoto, on May 8, 2026. Head brewer Araki will also visit the shop, making it the first beer event where guests can enjoy six beers at the same time.
Hop BroMugi-chan, there’s going to be a tap takeover with six beers on tap at the same time at Saraeru in Takamatsu, Kagawa. The brewery on the other side is Amakusa Sonar Beer from Amakusa, Kumamoto, and it’s happening on May 8, 2026.
MugiWait, six varieties at once? That’s total tap congestion! Is a tap takeover really the kind of event that goes in that hard all at once?
Hop BroExactly, it’s like one brewery bringing in a big lineup of kegs to the bar. And this time Mr. Araki will also visit, so being able to drink while hearing directly from the maker is the exciting part.
MugiWhoa. I’ve heard Amakusa Sonar Beer has a lot of Amakusa character, but what makes it so special?
Hop BroHere’s the thing: they grow hops right in front of the brewery, and they use 15 varieties of fresh hops as the westernmost hop field in Japan. When the field and brewery are that close, the freshness of the aroma changes a lot.
MugiWhat? A brewery that grows its own hops? The fields and tanks are basically neighbors! And mineral-rich groundwater? Just hearing that makes it sound delicious!
Hop BroExactly. With carefully grown, pesticide-free hops and mineral-rich groundwater, it brings out a distinctly Amakusa character. It’s interesting how the aroma and aftertaste reflect the place.
MugiBut still, a first beer event has to be a pretty big deal for Saraeru too, right? The staff must be nervous and buzzing with excitement!
Hop BroProbably excited nervousness. They’re inviting everyone to enjoy it together from 17:30 to 22:00 on May 8, 2026, and the best part is being able to experience the feel of Amakusa’s taproom in Kagawa.
MugiWow, it’s like a trip to Amakusa in Kagawa! I want to chase all six varieties, and I want us to go drink and get hyped with Hop-bro’s commentary!
Hop BroIf that’s the plan, then we’ve got no choice but to finish all the way to the sixth glass. Feeling the wind from Amakusa in Kagawa, it’s the kind of night that makes you want to clink glasses with Mugi-chan at the end.
MugiThen it’s decided! I’m putting it on my tonight's drink list, and on May 8 I’m going with an empty stomach and an empty heart!
