Keika Brewing Releases June Event Calendar, Planning Appearances Across the Region from Asamushi
The brewpub Keika Brewing in Asamushi, Aomori City, has posted its June event schedule on Instagram. From June 7 through 27, it plans to take part in multiple events both inside and outside Aomori Prefecture, and visitors can also enjoy the flagship pale ale and West Coast IPA in the taproom.
Hop BroKeika Brewing in Asamushi, Aomori City, has put together and shared its June event schedule. The way it's heading out from Asamushi to different places makes me, as the shop manager, really excited.
MugiWait, they're appearing at that many events? From June 7 to 27, that's basically nonstop festivals.
Hop BroExactly. The lineup includes the Tohoku Local Beer Festival in Akita 2026 from 6/12-14, the Hanamaki Craft Beer Festival 26 from 6/13-14, and AOMORI CRAFT BEER PARK on 6/27.
MugiWhat is that supposed to mean, West Coast IPA suddenly makes this hard! Is that a beer from the right side of the coast?
Hop BroGood question. It's a style of IPA known for sharp bitterness, with citrusy aromas and a crisp drinking feel. Keika Brewing's 'Senrin (Senrin)' is exactly that.
MugiOhh! Then what is the flagship Keika (keika) like? Grapefruit and lime already sound delicious before I even drink it!
Hop Bro'Keika (keika)' is a pale ale with a moderate bitterness and a well-balanced aroma of grapefruit, lime, and melon. It's highly drinkable, the kind you just want to keep taking another sip of.
MugiI see, so 'Zankou (zankou)' is the one with the soft drinking feel. That sounds approachable even for a beginner like me, which is reassuring!
Hop BroExactly. They also have the white-style 'Zankou (zankou)', and what I like is that they place importance on pairing with food, which suits Asamushi Onsen well.
MugiDrinking it at an event sounds great, but slowly enjoying it inside the shop sounds amazing too... the phrase a beer in Asamushi has such a nice ring to it.
Hop BroIt really does. It's hard to decide whether to chase it at events or relax and drink it on site, but in the end, it comes down to today's beer. It's the kind that makes you want to drink it while feeling the Asamushi breeze.
MugiThen I'm completely on board too! I want to drink it right now, and I need to check Keika Brewing's event schedule as well!

On the brewery's official website, three beers are introduced as Keika Brewing's lineup. The flagship Keika (keika) is a pale ale with aromas of grapefruit, lime, and melon, and a moderate bitterness that makes it highly drinkable. Zankou (zankou) is a soft-drinking white-style beer, while Senrin (Senrin) is a West Coast IPA with citrus aromatics and a sharp bitterness.
As a brewpub rooted in the character of Asamushi Onsen, the lineup focuses less on flashiness and more on food pairing and drinkability. Enjoying it at events or slowly savoring it on site are both part of the appeal.
