Canal Brewing in Oimachi to stay open daily in September, with Cycad Brewing TTO on Sept. 19
Canal Brewing in Tokyo's Oimachi district has posted its September schedule: no closure days, different hours by day of week, monthly Shanti Curry nights, a first-ever Cycad Brewing tap takeover on Sept. 19, and a MAHOWBREW TTO on Nov. 28.
Hop BroOimachi is looking lively. Canal brewing is going open every day in September, which is a pretty serious move for beer fans.
MugiWhat! No days off all month? That sounds less like a schedule and more like a challenge to my liver!
Hop BroThe hours are solid too. Weekdays are 5:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Saturdays 2:00 p.m. to 11:00 p.m., Sundays and holidays 2:00 p.m. to 10:00 p.m., so it's easy after work too.
MugiNice! A day-drinking window on weekends is dangerous information for me in the best possible way.
Hop BroAnd on September 19, they’re hosting Cycad Brewing’s first TTO there. Tap Take Over means the taps get handed over to one brewery for a focused lineup.
MugiWait, what? Handed over taps sounds weirdly dramatic. Why is a TTO such a big deal?
Hop BroBecause you get to compare a brewery’s character across multiple pours in one shot. This one may even include a collaboration beer, though the beer name and style haven’t been announced yet.
MugiThat’s dangerously tempting. The phrase style not announced instantly makes my imagination start carbonating.
Hop BroLet the beer do the fermenting. They’ve also got monthly Shanti Curry on August 25 and September 15, plus a MAHOWBREW TTO set for November 28, so the calendar stays busy well into fall.
MugiCurry, craft beer, TTOs, and weekend pours? That is some serious event density. My planner is already raising a glass.
Hop BroA few days will have different opening and closing times, though, so checking the posted image before you go is strongly recommended.
MugiNoted. Then I want my first mission to be Canal brewing, ideally for the first Cycad TTO on September 19. This totally made me want a pint.

What stands out
September at Canal Brewing looks like a month where regular service and event programming overlap.
