CRAFT PUB BRIAN BREW, on the first floor of Tanuki COMICHI in Sapporo, is scheduled to hold the first tapping event for a collaboration beer with NIKIYA on September 19. In the Instagram post, the venue describes the beer as a popular style, and the hashtag #HazyIPA appears alongside the announcement.

The post also says Yuichiro Aida, a brewer from NIKIYA, will visit the pub on the day of the event. For guests ordering the collaboration beer, a game-style giveaway is planned, including Shine Muscat grapes harvested at NIKIYA Farm and original glasses as prizes. That makes this more than a standard tap release; it is set up as an interactive event.

CRAFT PUB BRIAN BREW is an easy stop in central Sapporo, with both counter and table seating. It works well for a quick after-work pint or a longer beer crawl, and its Tanukikoji location gives it a relaxed, walk-in-friendly feel. For drinkers following local collaborations, the tap debut should be one to watch for the beer itself and the atmosphere around it.
