Hop BroIn Mitaka, Beer Pub Neko to Azarashi is running a tap takeover from Matsue Beer Hearn. On June 27, it's open 3:00 PM to 11:00 PM, and even the brewmaster is stopping by.
MugiWhat! Tap takeover sounds intense! So the taps have basically been hijacked by Beer Hearn?
Hop BroMore festive than dangerous. It's basically a full Beer Hearn showcase, with core beers like Pilsner, Weizen, Pale Ale, and Enmusubi Stout, plus rotating limited releases.
MugiWhoa, Lemon Weizen is on there, and Hazy IPA 2025 too. Just reading the list makes me pace around like I'm choosing snacks in front of a fridge.
Hop BroThe real fun is the Orochi comparison flight. You've got Orochi 2025 Rihachi ver., Orochi Koji 2025 Tamazakura ver. Sake Yeast Beer 8.0%, and Orochi Midori 2026 Shichikanba ver., so you can compare how the yeast changes everything.
MugiHold on, yeast changes everything? Why does that sound like beer casting for a drama series? And what exactly is Sake Yeast Beer?
Hop BroPut simply, it's brewed with sake yeast. That can give the beer a more fragrant aroma and a different finish, so even beers in the same Orochi line can feel surprisingly distinct.
MugiNice, and it's three minutes from Mitaka Station south exit, right? A small pub with white walls and warm wood sounds super easy to drop into, even solo.
Hop BroExactly, and the happy hour 100-yen discount from 5:00 PM to 6:30 PM makes it even better. Pair that with chili beans, house-made nuggets, or spiced Chinese-style char siu, then jump into the rock-paper-scissors events at 5:00, 7:30, and 10:00.
MugiThat is basically the perfect beer field trip. Games, tasting flights, good food, and then somehow I still want another pint at the end. I really want to go drink there now.
