Uchoten Brewing Tap Event "HELLO!PROJECT" to Be Held at PEPOWN in Chigasaki
PEPOWN in Chigasaki, Kanagawa, will host a tap event featuring Uchoten Brewing from Suwa, Nagano, "HELLO!PROJECT from Nagano Suwa vol.4," from May 16 to 17. Centered on Belgian-style and classic European styles, it looks like there will be beers that pair well with the shop's Lukr tap and hand pump.
Hop BroUchoten Brewing is coming to PEPOWN in Chigasaki for HELLO!PROJECT vol.4. That's definitely a tap event worth paying attention to.
MugiWait! A brewery from Suwa, Nagano is coming to Chigasaki? That already feels like a road trip, and I'm excited just hearing that!
Hop BroExactly. It's a two-day event from May 16 to 17, where PEPOWN's taps will be filled with Uchoten Brewing beers. What makes it interesting is how the shop's character and the brewery's character overlap.
MugiBut wait, what are Lukr taps and a hand pump? The names alone sound like heavy-duty equipment, which is a little intimidating!
Hop BroIn simple terms, they're tools that make it easier to pour beer with a nice head and a smooth mouthfeel. So they're well suited to enjoying the look of the foam and the silky texture of the beer.
MugiOhhh! So Uchoten Brewing's beers are the kind that suit that pouring style? If they're being called more classic, that makes me curious!
Hop BroYeah, the article described them as being based on Belgian-style design and European styles. Rather than hitting you over the head with hops, they focus on letting the yeast and malt character come through slowly.
MugiWait, so it's not about winning with aroma, but more the kind of beer that gets better and better as you sip? I might like that. It's sneaky how just hearing about it makes me want to drink it!
Hop BroAnd on the 17th, Tanaka is scheduled to visit. Being able to hear from the brewer while having a drink at PEPOWN, which has that old-house feel, is pretty luxurious.
MugiI'm already done for. The moment I heard a drink in Chigasaki, I wanted to go! I want to take my time enjoying even the foam, so this has to go on my weekend plans!
Two Days at PEPOWN in Chigasaki Exploring a Brewery from Suwa, Nagano
At PEPOWN in Chigasaki City, Kanagawa Prefecture, the tap event "HELLO!PROJECT from Nagano Suwa vol.4" welcoming Uchoten Brewing will be held from Saturday, May 16, 2026, to Sunday, May 17. As part of PEPOWN's initiative to "fill the taps once a month with beers from a single brewery," this time the spotlight is on a brewery from Suwa City, Nagano Prefecture.
In this post, Uchoten Brewing is introduced as "beer making based on Belgian-style and classic European styles." Rather than beers that push hops to the forefront, the brewery's approach leaves a strong impression by bringing out the character of yeast and malt, and the post also mentioned how well it pairs with PEPOWN's Lukr tap and hand pump. For anyone who enjoys the feel of foam and the way a beer drinks on the palate, this is something to watch.
PEPOWN, the venue, is a craft beer-focused bar within walking distance of Chigasaki Station. Using an old folk house as its base, it incorporates standing-bar elements into the space, with lots of plants inside and an atmosphere that also allows for drinking outdoors. Beyond simply savoring beer slowly, the way conversations naturally arise between breweries and drinkers is part of what makes this place special.
The post also notes that head brewer Tanaka is scheduled to visit on Sunday the 17th, making it a two-day event that should be enjoyable even in terms of the story behind the beer. Events at PEPOWN are not just about swapping taps; the appeal lies in the overlap between the brewery's character and the shop's vessels. This is a chance to enjoy a drink in Chigasaki while getting a feel for the craftsmanship of brewers from Nagano's Suwa region.
