BLACK TIDE BREWING to Appear at Tokyo Midtown GW Craft Beer Event
BLACK TIDE BREWING will appear at Tokyo Midtown's "Craft Beer Invitational at TOKYO MIDTOWN" on Monday, May 4 (national holiday) and Tuesday, May 5 (national holiday). The post also announced that head brewer James will be at the venue, drawing attention to this outdoor city event where 15 breweries will gather.

MugiWait, you can drink right in the middle of the city?! And it's free admission? That's already reason enough to go!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, head brewer James is expected to show up, so the big draw is being able to meet the brewer himself.
MugiHead brewer, what's that? Does he make beer while sleeping?! Is the brewer himself really that amazing?
Hop BroSleeping has nothing to do with it. A brewer is a beer maker, and the cool part is being able to choose while asking James about the flavor he's aiming for at the venue highlight.
MugiOhhh! So how do you buy the beer? No waving cash around? A ticket system sounds interesting!
Hop BroBeer is sold by ticket, and on the day it's served in plastic cups of about 300 mL. Food is paid for separately at each food truck, so it's set up to make tasting different beers easy.
MugiWow, that's perfect like a picnic! Drinking casually on the grass is basically the right way to do outdoor beer!
Hop BroThe specific BLACK TIDE BREWING lineup will be a surprise until the day, but the official list includes names like ONE AND ONLY IPA and KESENNUMA PRIDE, so you can expect some hop-forward IPA styles.
MugiI always hear IPA, but what does it actually taste like?! It sounds strong just from the name, and what does it mean when the hops really come through?
Hop BroBroadly speaking, it's a style where bitterness and aroma stand out, and sometimes you get citrus or pine notes. This time 15 breweries are gathering, so comparing them should make the differences even clearer.
MugiA pour that comes all the way from Kesennuma to Tokyo has kind of a romantic feel to it. Tasting beers on the lawn sounds like it's going to be amazing!
Hop BroExactly. It's the kind of event where you can casually enjoy craft beer in the city center while still getting a real sense of its depth. This is definitely a place where I'd want to go all in from the first glass.
Booth Information
BLACK TIDE BREWING will be setting up at "Craft Beer Invitational at TOKYO MIDTOWN," held on Monday, May 4 (national holiday) and Tuesday, May 5 (national holiday) at Midtown Garden in Tokyo Midtown (Roppongi). The Instagram post says head brewer James will also be on site that day, making it a highlight that visitors can choose their beer while talking with the brewer himself.
Admission is free, and beer is ticket-based. Advance tickets will be sold, and on the day beer will be served in plastic cups of about 300 mL per pour. Food is paid for separately at each food truck, making it easy to build a lineup centered on beer while pairing it with whatever dishes catch your eye.
Venue Atmosphere
The venue is Midtown Garden, where you can feel the greenery of the city center. Tokyo Midtown's official guide also highlights the chance to relax on the lawn together with the concurrently held "Nonbiri On the Green." Rather than sipping from glasses outdoors, it feels closer to an event where you can enjoy tasting different beers in a picnic-like setting.
What Kind of Beer to Expect
No individual beer names were listed in this post, but BLACK TIDE BREWING's official beer lineup includes names such as `FROM THE DEEP...`, `DAYS OVER`, `NAIWAN AWAKE`, `ONE AND ONLY IPA`, `KESENNUMA PRIDE`, and `ALL TOGETHER`. From hop-forward IPAs that reflect the character of this Kesennuma brewpub to series that have become signature offerings, the lineup suggests the brewery's distinctive style.
Breweries from all over Japan will gather at Tokyo Midtown, with 15 companies scheduled to participate, including BLACK TIDE BREWING. The specific beer lineup will remain a surprise until the day of the event, but it looks set to be a great chance to sample multiple breweries on the lawn and encounter a pour delivered from Kesennuma.
