Koenji’s Bankan lines up a Brasserie Knot tap takeover and BANKAN launch
Beer pub Bankan in Koenji, Tokyo has published its September schedule. Highlights include a Brasserie Knot tap takeover from September 4 to 6 and a release party for BANKAN, an original collaboration beer with Hime Beer, on September 15.
Hop BroKoenji in September is looking seriously fun. Bankan’s September lineup is out: a BrasserieKnot tap takeover from the 4th to 6th, and the collab beer "BANKAN" release party on the 15th.
MugiWhat! BrasserieKnot TTO sounds like the taps are getting hijacked or something!
Hop BroThat would be entertaining, but not quite. A tap takeover event means one brewery’s beers take over the draft lines, so you can really compare a whole BrasserieKnot lineup side by side.
MugiOhh! Side-by-side tasting just made me want to go about three pints more than I already did.
Hop BroThen on the 15th, the spotlight shifts to limited collaboration beer "BANKAN," made by Bankan and Hime Beer. The article doesn’t list a precise style yet, but it’s clearly positioned as a special original release.
MugiWait, what is that! Special original release sounds like I need to nod wisely while pretending I totally know brewing terms.
Hop BroIn plain language, it means a brand-new one-off beer. And Bankan is also packing the month with food pairing events, from homestyle dishes to game meat and seasonal fish.
MugiThis is supposed to be a beer schedule, and yet the food event lineup is attacking my stomach first!
Hop BroThat’s the charm of the place. Easygoing but wide-ranging is basically Bankan’s whole personality, so it works whether you want a quiet pint or a full-on event night.
MugiAnd it’s not just inside the pub, right? There’s outside festival action too, with the Fuchu beer garden and the Keyaki Beer Festival!
Hop BroExactly. Start with BrasserieKnot from the 4th to 6th, then finish strong with "BANKAN" on the 15th. September at Bankan really does need a drinking strategy.
MugiThen it’s settled. I already want to toast with BANKAN so badly that my calendar might be thirsty too!
