Hop BroTsumagoi Kogen Brewery is coming to "CRAFT BEER HOUSE takasaki '26 Spring" for its third appearance in Takasaki. They're showing up with their 30th anniversary milestone front and center, which is pretty exciting.
MugiWhoa! Just hearing 30th anniversary beer makes me so happy! And we can drink it in Takasaki, Gunma? I want it so badly!
Hop BroThis time's featured beer is the 30th Anniversary Limited No. 16, called "Tsuma Brew HAZY / Citrus Aroma." A HAZY IPA is a style that's cloudy and puts hop aroma front and center.
MugiHuh~! But why does HAZY IPA sound so complicated? It suddenly feels like science class in here!
Hop BroPut simply, it's a juicy, satisfying IPA packed with citrus aroma. And because Tsumagoi Kogen Brewery also uses homegrown hops, the beer carries the character of the land in its aroma.
MugiWhat is that! Homegrown hops sound so cute, like they're running happily from the field! A beer that tastes like the land sounds amazing; I really want to try it!
Hop BroExactly. What's interesting here is that it's brewed in the mountains of Tsumagoi Village, and the brewery takes pride in being a microbrewery that brews on site. Since April 2025, it's also resumed takeout sales and draft beer service inside the shop, so it's worth going to see what it's like now.
MugiWait, they've resumed draft beer inside the shop too? Then if I like it at the event, I'll totally want to visit the brewery!
Hop BroPlus, 20 breweries from inside and outside the prefecture will be there, so the comparisons will be fun. Free admission at the plaza in front of Takasaki City Hall, Joshi Park, is another great point.
MugiWow! Free admission and beer comparisons? This is already a festival! But I have absolutely no confidence that I can stop at just one drink...
Hop BroI know. This is something to toast and enjoy as the 30th-year milestone. Once you feel Tsumagoi's aroma in Takasaki's grassy plaza, the two of you will probably head off to find the next drink.
