Hop BroAfter School Brewery from Ikegami-Ohashi is showing up at CHIBA BEER FEST 2026 as Kaigan Brewing with After School Brewery. Spring beer by the sea in Chiba Minato sounds pretty ideal, honestly.
MugiWait, just the name Kaigan Brewing already sounds delicious! And by the sea in Chiba Minato? That’s basically picnic vibes.
Hop BroThe venue is Sambashi Hiroba, just a three-minute walk from JR Chiba Minato Station. The easy access makes it great for dropping by casually and tasting a bunch of different beers.
MugiSo if it’s a tasting event, there are lots of varieties? But IPA and stout already sound like magic spells to me.
Hop BroFor this event, the lineup is mainly lager, IPA, and stout. If you remember that lager is crisp, IPA has a stronger hop aroma, and stout is fun for its roasted character, that’s enough to start with.
MugiGot it! So I get excited by the aroma, widen my eyes a little at the bitterness, and then settle into quiet satisfaction with a dark beer.
Hop BroAnd the lineup is impressive too, with 20 breweries in total. Shiokaze Blue Lab, Kankiku Brewery, Chichibu Beer, T.Y.HARBOR BREWERY, and FULLER's are all there, so just comparing them is already fun.
MugiSeriously, that many? It’s basically a beer culture festival. With local breweries and strong names from outside the area, it’s going to be a favorite-find showdown!
Hop BroPlus, the beer list hasn’t been fully announced in advance, so there’s the fun of discovering things at each booth on the day. With this kind of event, a one-time encounter with a beer is what stays in your memory the longest.
MugiAnd if there’s food too, that’s perfect! You can try not just beer on its own but the pairings too, and with food combinations it sounds like you could keep going for hours.
Hop BroIt has a nice style to it, bringing Ikegami-Ohashi all the way to Chiba Minato. On April 25 and 26, it really makes you want to go and pick your spring pint on site.
MugiYeah, this is definitely going on the schedule! Sea breeze and beer are a dangerous combo, and we really have no choice but to go drink.
A Spring Beer Fest in Chiba Minato with 20 Breweries
After School Brewery (Ikegami-Ohashi, Setagaya, Tokyo) will take part in CHIBA BEER FEST 2026 as "Kaigan Brewing with After School Brewery". The venue is Sambashi Hiroba, a three-minute walk from JR and Chiba Urban Monorail's Chiba Minato Station. Set along the waterfront, it is an event where you can enjoy spring beer tasting in an open, breezy setting.
This year's fest brings together a total of 20 breweries from inside and outside the prefecture, including Chiba's Shiokaze Blue Lab, Kankiku Brewery, RIO BREWING & CO., and Chiba Inage Beer Inabiya, as well as Chichibu Beer, Yatsugatake Beer Touchdown, Ushitora Brewery, T.Y.HARBOR BREWERY, and FULLER's. With both local names and well-known breweries from a wider area on the lineup, the appeal is being able to compare a broad range of character in one venue.
The beers available at the event are centered on standard styles such as lager, IPA, and stout. Rather than spotlighting flashy limited releases, the lineup is aimed at people who want to carefully compare the distinct strengths each brewery brings to the table. Since the specific beer names have not been announced in detail in advance, there is also the fun of checking the booth information on the day as you drink.
Food will also be available, making this an event where you can spend time pairing beer with meals rather than drinking beer alone. It is a two-day event worth checking out for beer fans, especially to see what kind of pint the Ikegami-Ohashi brewery will bring to the Chiba Minato waterfront.
