UNLOCK Brew BASE and 54BAL Launch 1st Anniversary Stamp Rally
The craft beer shop UNLOCK Brew BASE in Kasukabe, Saitama, announced a 1st Anniversary Stamp Rally with 54BAL, which opened on the same day. The event involves visiting both shops to collect limited stickers, with distribution starting on April 17 and exchanges available until July 18.
Hop BroSomething interesting is happening in Kasukabe: 1st.Anniversary Stamp Rally is starting. It's a first-anniversary project from UNLOCK Brew BASE and 54BAL, and I like that hopping between the shops is part of the premise.
MugiWait, it's based on hopping between shops!? A two-shop crawl sounds like the kind of thing that's fun before you even start drinking.
Hop BroExactly. UNLOCK Brew BASE is a craft beer shop in the east exit area of Kasukabe Station, and it only opened in April 2025.
MugiWow, and opening on the same day as 54BAL gives them real synchronized-buddy energy.
Hop BroThe setup this time is that both shops hand out stamp cards and you collect limited stickers. The neat part is that when you get both, they make up "54LOCK."
Mugi54LOCK!? What is that, like a combining robot!? Completing 54LOCK is such a name that I kind of want to shout it.
Hop BroWhat's more, the distribution periods are slightly different: UNLOCK is April 17 to 19, and 54BAL is April 17 to 20. Exchange runs until July 18, so it's nice that there's no need to rush too much.
MugiWait, the limited stickers are only 100 per shop! Hearing 100 limited to each shop suddenly makes my collector instinct flare up.
Hop BroThe food isn't overlooked either. 54BAL's pasta snacks come in garlic consommé and cinnamon sugar. Offering sweet-and-savory snacks with beer is pretty bold, isn't it?
MugiWhoa, sweet-and-savory snacks with beer!? It feels like a two-pronged snack attack, and my mouth is already busy!
Hop BroAnd the carbonara made with UNLOCK's Hana yori Anko and windmill-pork shoulder loin is available only at 54BAL, which is another big draw. Being able to taste each shop's character while moving back and forth is the real charm of this event.
MugiThis is perfect bar-hopping weather in Kasukabe. After reading this, I feel like the two of us should go collect stamps, and I want to toast!
