OGA BREWING COMPANY to hold graduation-beer release events on March 26 and 29
OGA BREWING COMPANY in Mitaka shared a spring Instagram update featuring a sakura-label Mitaka Pale Ale and a graduation beer brewed by three departing staff members. The release events will be held on March 26 and March 29.
Hop BroSpring in Mitaka just got interesting: OGA BREWING COMPANY is holding a graduation beer event on March 26 and 29.
MugiWhat! A graduation beer? Does it come with a diploma and a tiny cap?
Hop BroThat would be amazing, but nope. It means Anzu, Aria, and Liam, the staff leaving OGA this spring, brewed a farewell pint of their own.
MugiNo way! And there's also Mitaka Pale Ale with a cherry blossom label? Spring is doing too much!
Hop BroExactly. Mitaka Pale Ale is, just like the name says, a classic pale ale, and the clever part is how it stays approachable while the seasonal feel comes through the label.
MugiWait, what does 'approachable by design' even mean? Recipe design sounds like beer architecture!
Hop BroPretty much, yeah. OGA builds beers around the moment they fit, aiming to wow first-timers, so it's really about a before-or-after-walk pint that matches spring.
MugiOkay, that I get! See the cherry blossoms at Inokashira Park, then drink beer with a short story attached? That's ridiculously charming.
Hop BroRight, and since it's a brewery-cafe tucked into a Mitaka neighborhood with staples like Mitaka Wheat Ale and Kichijoji IPA, I'm already picturing a straight-to-the-taproom detour.
MugiI'm sold. A farewell beer, a cherry blossom label, and spring air? I officially need a pint right now.
Spring update from Mitaka
OGA BREWING COMPANY in Mitaka, Tokyo, shared a spring post on Instagram highlighting two seasonal items. As the cherry blossoms in Inokashira Park begin to open, the brewery recommends its sakura-label Mitaka Pale Ale. The post also announces a graduation-beer release event on March 26 and March 29 for An, Aria, and Liam, who are graduating from OGA this spring.
The brewery's official site describes OGA as a brewery-cafe built around a simple goal: making beers that surprise people who are new to craft beer and help them grow to love it. Its core lineup includes Mitaka Pale Ale, Mitaka Wheat Ale, and Kichijoji IPA, alongside limited releases and collaboration beers.
OGA also says each recipe starts with the question of when and how the beer will be enjoyed, which fits the tone of this post: a seasonal beer for cherry-blossom viewing and a commemorative beer for staff who are moving on. In other words, the message is less about hype than about place, people, and timing.
The taproom is a compact way to experience that idea in person, with the brewery continuing to anchor its beer culture in everyday Mitaka life.
