Hop BroIt looks like SHIMOKITA CRAFT BEER FEST 2026 is coming to Shimokitazawa in spring. TDM 1874 Shimokitazawa announced it, and it really feels like the whole town is becoming a beer festival again this year.
MugiWhat! They're holding such a big fest even though admission is free? At that point, isn't there basically no reason not to go?
Hop BroExactly. The venue is Shimokita Senrogai Aki-chi. It's just a 4-minute walk from the East Exit, and the strength of the event is that you can go around the booths like you're bar-hopping.
MugiOhh! But if there's a 300-yen reusable cup fee, that means you need to prepare a little at the start, right?
Hop BroThat's right. You pay the cup fee with your first drink, and after that you wander around drinking from that same cup. So you can enjoy it in an eco-friendly and easygoing way.
MugiWow, there are so many participating breweries! 13 vendors sounds like I'd get lost before I even decide what to drink!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is great too. West Coast Brewing, DevilCraft Brewery, and even Kyoto Brewing are coming, so it's a seriously strong roster.
MugiWait, hold on. There are so many brewery names my head is turning into beer foam! So this is an event where tasting and comparing is the point?
Hop BroExactly. In a town like this, with places like TDM 1874 Shimokitazawa that are already strong on beer, the real appeal is enjoying the whole neighborhood as part of the fest.
MugiJust imagining it makes even the spring breeze sound delicious... I definitely want to keep April 3 to 5 open!
Hop BroFriday starts at 4 p.m., and Saturday and Sunday start from noon, so there's really no choice but to go. Let's find the one beer that catches your eye while raising a toast in Shimokitazawa.
MugiYeah, this is definitely making me want a drink! A spring beer fest sounds amazing even for the time spent wondering which beer to have first!
