Tokyo-based OGA (Oga) BREWING COMPANY shared spring event information in an Instagram post titled "This is OGA BREWING (English follows Japanese👇)." According to the post, the "Graduation Beer" brewed by the three people graduating from OGA this spring - An, Aria, and Liam - will be released at events held on Thursday, March 26 and Sunday, March 29.
This announcement was more than just a notice about a new release. It also shared that on Monday, March 23, last orders will be at 17:30 because the brewery will host a private booking from 18:00. In addition, the brewery promoted a limited-time campaign for people who turn 20 this year, in which one original beer will be given as a gift for the period January 12, 2026 to March 31, 2026. Eligibility includes living in Mitaka City or Musashino City, showing ID, picking it up in-store, and posting on social media.
On its official website, the brewery describes OGA BREWING as "a craft beer brewery in Mitaka." The shop information lists 4-1-16 Shimorenjaku, Mitaka City, Tokyo, 10 minutes on foot from the south exit of JR Chuo Line Mitaka Station, and 11:00-20:00 (closed Tuesdays). On its background page, "About Us," it explains its approach as spreading craft beer culture from a residential area in Mitaka and making brewing accessible even to people trying craft beer for the first time.
The graduation beer project brings together a milestone for its makers and the brewery's sense of community. For drinkers, it is likely to be more than just a seasonal pint - it is a chance to taste the people and stories nurtured by a local brewery from Mitaka.
