Craft Beer Market Mitsukoshimae spotlights BarbaricWORKS in KANAGAWA TTO series
Craft Beer Market Mitsukoshimae posted the second installment of its brewery-introduction series for the upcoming KANAGAWA TTO event. This time, the focus is BarbaricWORKS from Chigasaki, Kanagawa, with whole-hop IPA and barrel-aged beer on offer.
Hop BroToday’s topic is Craft Beer Market Mitsukoshimae’s Instagram post for KANAGAWA TTO part two, and the star is BarbaricWORKS from Chigasaki.
MugiWait, BarbaricWORKS already sounds intense! What kind of brewery is it?
Hop BroIt’s a standout brewery in Chigasaki founded in 2016, and it also runs the beer pub Gold'n Bub. The whole brand has a strong street-culture vibe.
MugiWhoa, Gold'n Bub attached to the brewery? That sounds like you can dive straight into their whole world. That’s unfair in the best way.
Hop BroAnd one big brewing feature is using whole hops. They put in the extra work to pull out more aroma and flavor.
MugiHold on, whole hops just made my brain picture a field of plants waving in the wind!?
Hop BroHonestly, that’s not far off. They use hops in a more natural form instead of compressing them down, so the aroma stays defined, but it takes more effort.
MugiOkay, so it’s a high-effort beer! Then the headliner here is the hop-focused IPA, right?
Hop BroNot just that. They’re also featuring barrel-aged beer, so it works for people who want bright hop character and for people who want layered, mature depth.
MugiWait, so hop fans and aging fans both win? That lineup is covering way too much ground for one event!
Hop BroAnd since it’s happening at the Mitsukoshimae beer pub on the first floor of Coredo Muromachi 3, you get to taste BarbaricWORKS’ personality pretty directly in Nihonbashi. I want a glass already.
MugiThen the answer is obvious: one pint now. Start with the IPA for the hop kick, then finish with the barrel-aged one and get all sentimental.
BarbaricWORKS highlighted for the event
Craft Beer Market Mitsukoshimae is a beer pub located on the first floor of COREDO Muromachi 3 in Nihonbashi, Tokyo. In its latest Instagram post, the venue introduced the second brewery in its KANAGAWA TTO lineup: BarbaricWORKS, based in Chigasaki, Kanagawa.
BarbaricWORKS was founded in 2016 as a microbrewery and also operates the beer pub "Gold'n Bub." The brewery is known for an interior with a street-culture feel, and its brewing identity is equally distinct. A key feature is the use of whole hops, a more labor-intensive approach that aims to bring out layered aroma and flavor.
For this event, the venue says it will pour a whole-hop-focused IPA as well as barrel-aged beer. That makes the lineup appealing both for drinkers who want a firm hop character and for those who prefer deeper, aged flavors. For a beer pub in central Nihonbashi, it is a fitting way to showcase a brewery with a clear point of view.
