The brewpub Kanpai! Brewing (1F/GRANZOO) in Sekiguchi, Bunkyo Ward, will run its 7th Anniversary WEEK from May 25 to 31. Imperial Stout 2026, Imperial Stout 2025, Foudre Pale Ale, and Kölsch S will be served in sequence.
Hop BroBunkyo Ward Sekiguchi's 7th Anniversary WEEK is kicking off, and Kanpai! Brewing (1F/GRANZOO) is going to be buzzing from May 25 to 31.
MugiWhoa! An anniversary event is basically a keg festival, right? I'm getting excited!
Hop BroExactly. The first highlight is Imperial Stout 2026, tapped on May 25. It's rich and full-bodied, perfect for the opening beer of an anniversary celebration.
MugiI know imperial stout is black and strong-looking, but what's so special about it?
Hop BroIt has a strong malt presence and roasted aroma, plus a hefty alcohol body. In other words, it's a dark beer you sip slowly.
MugiWow! And starting May 28, they're even pouring Imperial Stout 2025? A side-by-side by vintage is way too luxurious!
Hop BroAnd the fact that Foudre Pale Ale is coming as a single limited keg is another nice surprise. A foudre is often a large wooden cask, and it tends to add depth to the aroma.
MugiWhen you hear wooden cask, it suddenly feels like a grown-up secret base! But I think I'm also curious about the Kölsch.
Hop BroFrom May 29, Kölsch S arrives at a special price of 700 yen. It's crisp and light, so having it after a stout really resets your palate.
MugiAnd they make it on the 2F and 3F and you can drink it on the 1F? That's like a freshly made direct connection! That alone seems like it'd make the beer taste even better!
Hop BroExactly. The real charm of a brewpub is being able to drink while feeling the brewer's presence. For this anniversary week, we definitely want to go together and compare the beers.
The brewpub Kanpai! Brewing (1F/GRANZOO) in Sekiguchi, Bunkyo Ward, will mark its 7th anniversary on May 28. To celebrate, it will operate from May 25 to 31 as its 7th Anniversary WEEK, offering limited-edition beers exclusive to the occasion.
The main highlight this time is Imperial Stout 2026, which will first be tapped from Monday, May 25. Then, starting Thursday, May 28, Imperial Stout 2025 and Foudre Pale Ale will each be available as a single limited keg. In addition, Kölsch S is scheduled to be served from Friday, May 29 at a special price of 700 yen.
Kanpai! Brewing and GRANZOO are characterized by a style in which the brewery and taproom are directly connected. Because beers made in the 2F and 3F brewery can be enjoyed as-is at GRANZOO on the 1F, there is the appeal of visiting in search of freshly made beer. During the anniversary period, serving dates may shift depending on keg turnover and tapping status, so if there is a specific beer you want, it would be a good idea to check in advance.
The lineup for this anniversary milestone ranges widely, from a robust stout to pale ale and Kölsch. True to the spirit of a brewpub, it looks set to be a week for comparing anniversary beers while feeling close to the people who make them.
