Sakamichi Brewing to Serve Seven Overseas Guest Beers at "TravelinTachikawa" Starting April 29
Sakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa, Tokyo, will launch "#TravelinTachikawa" on April 29. At Sakamichi North, it will host events, and the taproom will offer seven guest beers from overseas breweries and collaboration beers.
Hop BroSakamichi Brewing in Tachikawa is kicking off "#TravelinTachikawa" on April 29. There’s activity at Sakamichi North on the north exit side too, and the taproom is set to line up a whole slate of overseas guest beers.
MugiWait, you can drink overseas guest beers in Tachikawa? That’s the kind of thing where your mouth goes on a world tour without you having to travel!
Hop BroAnd this time it’s a full lineup of seven beers, including collaborations. Crossing breweries in Japan and overseas to compare everything from classic styles to modern ones is very Sakamichi Brewing.
MugiWhat is that! West Coast DIPA and Hazy DIPA sound intense just from the names alone, but what’s the difference?
Hop BroIn simple terms, West Coast tends to have more bitterness and a cleaner finish, while Hazy tends to bring out a juicy, cloudy character. For example, "Double Kimchi" is a collaboration between WCB in Shizuoka and white crow brewing in Korea, and "Gorilla Panic" is a combination of black tide brewing and gorilla brewing, so they’re flavors that cross borders.
MugiWow! And Peanut Butter Milk Stout already sounds dessert-like even though it’s beer. Is it like a milkshake in appearance but actually a dark beer?
Hop BroExactly. Stout gets its richness from roasted malt, and when peanut butter notes are layered on top, the sweet, toasty aroma is fun. There are also lines that already feel like a trip, like Finback’s "If Whales Could Fly" from New York and Stoup Brewing’s "Chrome Posies" from Seattle.
MugiHold on, Whales Could Fly? What does that even mean!? If whales were flying, the sky over Tachikawa would be pretty lively!
Hop BroThat’s something to enjoy as imagination, but the real answer is to check it on tap. Being able to compare beers in Tachikawa before Golden Week is seriously exciting, and with the Sakamichi North events too, it sounds like you could spend the whole day there.
MugiAll right, I’ve put the April 29 start on my calendar! I can already see us chasing beers from around the world in Tachikawa and ending the day by saying, "Just one more," together!
