Hop BroAkasaka-Mitsuke is getting a Kyoto brewery TTO at Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, running from June 22 to June 27 for KYOTO BREWERS MEETING TAP TAKE OVER!
MugiWhat! Six straight days of Kyoto craft beer madness? It's in a basement, but the hype level is sky-high!
Hop BroAnd the headline is an event-only beer made with Kyoto water, barley, hops, and yuzu, brewed with help from Ichijoji Brewery.
MugiWhat is that, full Kyoto loadout? If there's yuzu too, I'm not sure whether it's beer or a Kyoto gift box!
Hop BroIt's definitely still beer. Matching the ingredient origins gives it a clearer identity, and the yuzu lifts the aroma. It's basically Kyoto terroir in a glass.
MugiWhoa, sudden sommelier mode! Can you translate that into normal person language for me?
Hop BroIt just means the taste of a place. And during the event there will be 30-plus taps, so you can range from Edel Pils and Kitsune Japanese Light Lager to Helles and Oolong Tea Lager.
MugiNo way, Tiger Hachi Bakushu is an oolong tea lager? And there's Hakkokuma Spice Ale too? I'd be double-taking at the tap list already!
Hop BroPlus, the brewers show up on Saturday the 27th, and there'll be a toast event and even a rock-paper-scissors contest, so you can actually meet the people behind the beer.
MugiThat's unfair! If I can do an underground Kyoto crawl in Akasaka-Mitsuke, my so-called one drink after work is absolutely not surviving.
Hop BroThe place also thinks about food pairings, so I already know I want the limited beer first. Then I'd work my way from crisp lagers to the barrel-aged stuff.
MugiI'm in. Let's start with the limited beer, then finish with Barrel Aged Smoky Margarita. I want a pint now, and you're absolutely coming with me!
Craft Beer Server Land Akasaka-Mitsuke, located in the basement of Akasaka Gessekai Building in Minato, Tokyo, will host the KYOTO BREWERS MEETING TAP TAKE OVER from Monday, June 22, 2026 through Saturday, June 27, 2026.
The beer pub is known for its focus on Japanese craft beer and food pairing. With counter seating and table seating in a relaxed underground space, it works well for both after-work drinks and full meals.
In the announcement, the shop said this will be the third edition of its Kyoto tap takeover. A special event-only original beer was brewed with the help of Joraku Brewery, using Kyoto-grown water, barley, hops, and yuzu. During the event, the bar will pour more than 30 taps, and brewery guests are scheduled to visit on Saturday, June 27. The post also mentions a toast session and a rock-paper-scissors game planned for the visit.
The tap-list image shows a broad range of Japanese craft beers, including Edelpils, Kitsune / Japanese Light Lager, Helles, Tora Hachi Mugi / Oolong Tea Lager, Hakko Kuma / Spice Ale, and Barrel-Aged Smoky Margarita. It is a lineup that reflects how wide and varied Japan’s domestic craft scene can be.
For beer lovers, this looks like a six-day chance to enjoy a Kyoto-themed takeover in the basement of Akasaka-Mitsuke.
