Bread Ale Brewery to Open at the Seiseki Spring Beer Festival from April 23
Bread Ale Brewery in Sengawa, Chofu City, will be setting up at the "Seiseki Spring Beer Festival," held at Keio Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Shopping Center from April 23 to 26. Visitors will be able to taste the brewery’s core lineup, which is brewed using discarded bread.
Hop BroBread Ale Brewery in Sengawa, Chofu City, is going to set up at the Seiseki Spring Beer Festival from April 23 to 26. A brewery built around "bread x beer" using bread is pretty interesting, right?
MugiWait! They turn bread into beer!? Using discarded bread sounds eco-friendly and tasty, but does it really taste like bread?
Hop BroNot quite in the sense of putting the bread flavor front and center. It’s more about using it as part of the malt bill to bring out the grainy nuance. They’ll apparently have everything from standards to popular labels at the venue.
MugiOhhh! Then the first one I want to try is probably White (Wheat Ale). It sounds light and fluffy, like a perfect first drink!
Hop BroGood eye. Wheat Ale’s charm is its soft wheat-derived texture, and at Bread Ale Brewery it also has a pretty strong bread pairing appeal. It’s the kind of beer that feels like morning toast.
MugiMorning toast vibes, what does that even mean! Then does Baguette (APA) smell kind of like French bread?
Hop BroThe name is playful, but APA is a style where hop aroma stands out. With Bread Ale Brewery’s Baguette, you can imagine the hop aroma and the bread-like toastiness standing side by side.
MugiI see~. Then Rye (English IPA) must be a little spicy because of the rye, right? It suddenly feels more grown-up!
Hop BroExactly. English IPA is appealing for its balance of bitterness and malt character, and when rye is added, a spicy edge tends to come through. And since there’s also Porter, they haven’t forgotten dark-beer fans either.
MugiA Porter too? That’s almost unfair. If I try everything in a tasting flight, I’ll probably end up wanting them all!
Hop BroAnd since the venue is Keio Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Shopping Center, it’s easy to get to, and if you like what you taste at the event, you can head over to the Sengawa shop too. At this point, it’s really about having one at the venue and then one more at the shop.
MugiYeah, yeah, since it’s from April 23 to 26, it’s easy to make plans, and I’m curious about the Sengawa shop too! I want to enjoy both bread and beer!
Located in Sengawa, Chofu City, Bread Ale Brewery is a microbrewery with an attached bakery. It promotes a "bread x beer" initiative that uses discarded bread as a brewing ingredient, and the shop also lets visitors enjoy bread-and-beer pairings.
This time, the brewery will appear at "Seiseki Spring Beer Festival" at Keio Seiseki-Sakuragaoka Shopping Center. The post says the event will run from Thursday, April 23 through Sunday, April 26, and that "from the standard beers to popular labels" will be available on site. The lineup introduced includes White (Wheat Ale), Baguette (APA), Rye (English IPA), Porter, and more. It also says visitors can compare beers through flights, making it easy to sample different styles in small amounts.
Bread Ale Brewery opened in 2024, about a five-minute walk from Sengawa Station. As a place that connects the everyday appeal of a bakery with the enjoyment of craft beer, it has been making its presence felt at local events as well. At this appearance too, it will be worth paying attention to the differences among each beer, from the bread-derived texture to the grain notes. If you stop by the Sengawa shop after tasting at the venue, you can confirm the character of the same beers in both an event setting and an everyday one.
