BLACK TIDE BREWING TAP TAKEOVER to Be Held in Ryogoku/Kuramae on April 4
Mina no Craft Beer Bar Ryogoku/Kuramae announced that it will hold a "BLACK TIDE BREWING TAP TAKEOVER" on Saturday, April 4, 2026 from 14:00 to 23:00. A brewery visit is also planned, making it a day to enjoy craft beer from Kesennuma all in one place.
Hop BroHere's a hot spring pick, the April 4 TTO is on! At Mina no Craft Beer Bar in Ryogoku/Kuramae, it's a BLACK TIDE BREWING celebration.
MugiWhoa, I want to go! From 2 p.m. to 11 p.m.? That's the kind of thing you can enjoy from daytime drinks all the way through the night!
Hop BroAnd the star is BLACK TIDE BREWING, a brewery in Kesennuma, Miyagi Prefecture. It was born out of the regional revitalization efforts after the earthquake, and that "from Kesennuma to the world" stance is really inspiring.
MugiHey, hey, what exactly is a tap takeover? It sounds powerful, like taking over all the bar's taps?
Hop BroPretty much, haha. It means a full draft line takeover - an event where, for that day only, a single brewery's beers are poured all at once.
MugiOhhh! What kind of lineup is it? What is a Hazy IPA? The name itself sounds hazy!
Hop BroHazy means a cloudy style with a burst of juicy aroma. BLACK TIDE's strength is that it doesn't stop at IPA and Hazy IPA - they also cover a broad range, including lagers and saisons.
MugiThat's amazing! And seeing Kesennuma Pride listed as one of the beers to be served makes me want to toast just from the name!
Hop BroOn the day, Tanji from the brewery is scheduled to visit, so being able to drink while talking with the brewer is one of the best parts of a TTO.
MugiThen April 4 is set for Ryogoku/Kuramae! A day to focus on tasting Kesennuma's character - this is one I need to lock into my schedule!
Hop BroNice, let's gather early that day. First drink: Kesennuma Pride - now I'm already craving one!
