BLACK TIDE BREWING will be exhibiting at the "2026 Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival," held at Keyaki Hiroba in Saitama Shintoshin from May 13 to 17, 2026. The post also announced a volunteer recruitment, underscoring the strong presence the Kesennuma-born BTB will bring to the venue.
Hop BroBLACK TIDE BREWING is going to be at the Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival, right? From May 13 to 17, 2026, it sounds like Saitama Shintoshin will be dyed in BTB colors.
MugiWhoa, that's huge! 52 breweries are slated to exhibit? That's basically a beer theme park!
Hop BroExactly, and there'll be more than 300 beers across the whole event. It's the kind of place where you lose an hour just by looking around.
MugiWait, wait, HAZY IPA, IPA, lager, saison... isn't the style lineup getting jammed? What's the difference between all of them!
Hop BroIn broad terms, HAZY IPA's cloudy, juicy character emphasizes hop aroma and mouthfeel, IPA brings a crisp bitterness, lager goes down smoothly, and saison feels dry with lively aromatics.
MugiGot it! So NAIWAN AWAKE sounds fruity, and KESENNUMA PRIDE sounds like it's packed with Kesennuma pride! That name is powerful!
Hop BroNice reaction. BTB has DAWN BREAKER-type IPAs and AFTER THE STORM-type lagers too, so its appeal is the wide range from punchy to easy-drinking.
MugiWhoa, and they're even recruiting volunteers? Helping run the booth means it's hot not just on the drinking side but on the support side too!
Hop BroThere are beer serving, line management, and register duties too, so it's like helping keep the event moving while energizing it together. Festivals are strong when there's behind-the-scenes support like this.
MugiAnd they're a brewpub from Kesennuma, with a spring new-factory milestone? That's some serious momentum! If I drink there, I'll want to cheer them on!
Hop BroRight. So on the day, let's first look for a distinctly Kesennuma-style beer, and then finish with a toast at the BTB booth.
MugiYeah, now I really want a drink! The beer at the festival is definitely going to be good, I want May to come already!
BLACK TIDE BREWING will once again take part in the "2026 Keyaki Hiroba Spring Beer Festival," held from Wednesday, May 13 through Sunday, May 17, 2026. The venue is Keyaki Hiroba in Saitama Shintoshin, and the event as a whole is expected to feature 52 breweries and importers, with more than 300 kinds of craft beer on offer, making it a major festival.
In BTB's post, volunteers were also being recruited to help run the booth. Duties include serving beer, organizing lines, and handling the register, making this an invitation for people who want to help energize the event together. Known as a brewpub from Kesennuma, the shop is also at a milestone with a new factory set to open in spring 2026, and this appearance conveys the momentum behind the brand.
As examples of the beers, the official site features HAZY IPA "NAIWAN AWAKE," IPAs "KESENNUMA PRIDE" and "DAWN BREAKER," the lager "AFTER THE STORM," and the saison "TSUTSUJI." From hop-forward IPAs to a crisp lager and a dry saison, BTB's hallmark is its wide range. Which beers will be poured at the venue will be a surprise on the day, but we're hoping for a distinctly Kesennuma beer with a clear character.
