“Lager & IZAKAYA” to Be Held at Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar on April 11
A special event titled “Lager & IZAKAYA” is scheduled for Saturday, April 11 at Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar on the 1st floor of all day place shibuya in Shibuya. It is being presented as an all-day event featuring lagers from Cycad Brewing, Uchoten Brewing, and Mikkeller, along with food and DJs.
Hop BroThere’s an event coming to Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar in Shibuya on Saturday, April 11. The title is “Lager & IZAKAYA,” and just the name alone makes you want a drink, doesn’t it?
MugiWait, Lager & IZAKAYA? Lager and an izakaya? That combination is kind of intriguing!
Hop BroExactly. It’s a project that blends Japanese craft lager with Japanese culture. Having lagers from Cycad Brewing, Uchoten Brewing, and Mikkeller lined up is pretty bold.
MugiI hear about lager a lot, but does it really range from light to dark? I had the impression they were all basically the same color!
Hop BroThat’s a common impression, and that’s what makes it interesting. Lager is fermented slowly at low temperatures, so it isn’t just crisp styles; you can also get darker types with more malt character.
MugiOh wow! So being able to taste them on tap sounds so fun! Even if the specific names are still a secret, the lineup alone is exciting.
Hop BroAnd it’s not just beer. Food starts at 15:00, and Nihonshuya plus Mark Campbell’s crepes are included, so they’ve clearly thought through the food side too.
MugiWait, crepes too!? And then DJs from 18:00? That means you can stay from daytime drinking all the way into the night!
Hop BroExactly. It’s on the 1st floor of all day place shibuya near Shibuya Station, so it’s easy to drop in, and even IPA fans can experience how wide lager can be.
MugiNow I really want to go! A Kiosk turned izakaya, drinking lager, eating, listening, and then ending with a toast together sounds perfect!
An Instagram post from Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar on March 22 announced a special event to be held on Saturday, April 11. This time, the theme is “Lager & IZAKAYA”. The post says the Kiosk will transform into an “IZAKAYA” for one day only, presenting a concept that blends Japanese craft lager with Japanese culture.
For the beers on the day, the names Cycad Brewing, Uchoten Brewing, and Mikkeller are explicitly listed, with a lineup focused on lagers ranging from light to dark to be offered on tap. While the specific beer names were not individually revealed in the post, it is clear that the lineup centers on lager styles.
Food starts at 15:00. Participation from Nihonshuya (@nihonsyuya_tokyo) and Mark Campbell (@mark_campbell_crepe) is noted, making this more than just a beer-tasting event. In addition, DJs from 18:00 (shopADLT, Kei Honda, Machiko, Taishi, and kfn) will be added to the program, creating a flow that can be enjoyed from daytime drinking into the night with music.
In the style of Mikkeller Kiosk/Bar, which is easy to stop by near Shibuya Station, this is an event that layers food and sound onto a beer-centered concept. It should be a day that lager fans will enjoy, and one that may also make it easy for people who usually stick to IPAs to experience a wider range of styles.
