Hop BroThat is the fun of brewing. Ingredients, water, yeast, and hop choices create each brewery's distinctive house character.
MugiHop choices? Does beer need blueprints? My brain is getting foamy already!
Hop BroIt just means planning the aroma and bitterness. Individual beers and styles have not been announced yet, so watch for lineup updates.
MugiThen we might discover a surprise favorite! With food alongside, comparing beers gets better!

A north-to-south brewery collaboration
Craft Beer Market Jimbocho will hold a NORTH ISLAND BEER × MAHOE BREW W Tap Takeover on Saturday, September 26, 2026. The event is scheduled to start at 12:00.
The takeover will feature beers from NORTH ISLAND BEER, based in Hokkaido, and MAHOE BREW, representing the southern part of Japan. The source announcement does not specify individual beer names, styles, or the number of taps, but presents the event as an opportunity to taste beers from both breweries side by side.
Craft Beer Market is a beer pub known for offering a broad selection of craft beer alongside food, making it a natural setting for comparing the character of different breweries.
Please note that the event venue is the Jimbocho location, not the Sendai store. The official Sendai store page says the location is moving to the first floor of Daiwa Roynet Hotel Sendai near the west exit of Sendai Station and will reopen as Craft Beer Market Sendai Ekimae, with a grand opening planned for late July. Visitors should check the latest store information before heading to the Sendai location.
For beer enthusiasts, this event offers a chance to explore contrasting regional expressions in one session. Further details about the tap lineup are expected from the venue.
