Toki Brewery, based in Sado City, Niigata, will hold a Tap Takeover during Golden Week at Atta maruyama in Sapporo. From May 2 to May 6, five days in total, eight kegs will be available, and the brewery staff are also expected to visit on the evening of the first day.
Hop BroI’m here with news about a GW-only TTO. Toki Brewery in Niigata's Sado City is going to line up the kegs big time for five days at Atta maruyama in Sapporo.
MugiWait, you can drink Sado beer in Sapporo!? May 2 through May 6 is way too perfect for Golden Week!
Hop BroAnd on top of that, they’re planning to prepare eight kegs. A Tap Takeover is an event where one brewery basically “takes over” the taps all at once, and the tasting comparisons are the fun part.
MugiTake over the taps!? That sounds a little violent, but basically it means you can taste a bunch at once, right? So what kind of brewery is Toki Brewery?
Hop BroToki Brewery is a small brewery in the Ryotsu area of Sado Island that mainly makes American-style beers. Their specialty is limited releases, like a Hazy IPA made with rice koji from a sake brewery on Sado, and beers that combine local culture with the brew.
MugiWhat is that! A rice koji Hazy IPA already sounds delicious just from the name! But do people even put koji into beer?
Hop BroUsually malt is the main player, but using koji can bring out a softer sweetness and a distinctive aroma. And since Hazy IPAs are cloudy, juicy styles, they can pair well with koji's nuance too.
MugiWow! And the staff are expected to visit on the first evening, right? Drinking while talking with the brewery team sounds so special!
Hop BroExactly, it's a chance to enjoy Sado Island beer that you usually can't easily drink in Sapporo or elsewhere in Hokkaido all in one place. It would go well with a meal, and it's also a good candidate for the first stop on a bar-hopping night.
MugiI already want to put this on my schedule! It has that a drink on a trip feeling, and with five days, it's the kind of thing that makes me want to try them all.
Hop BroBottom line, this is a pretty strong Golden Week event to watch. Just imagining Sado-brewed beer filling the taps in Sapporo is enough to make it sound tasty.
MugiYeah, I definitely want to go drinking for this! It feels like an absolute must for tasting comparisons, and I swear my throat is already heading to the venue!
Niigata's Toki Brewery, based in Sado City, will hold a Golden Week-limited Tap Takeover at Atta maruyama in Sapporo. The event will run for five days, from May 2 to May 6, and the venue plans to serve eight of Toki Brewery's beers.
According to the official website, Toki Brewery is a small brewery in the Ryotsu area of Sado Island that brews craft beer centered on American styles. Its lineup focuses on limited releases, such as a Hazy IPA made with rice koji produced at a sake brewery on Sado, and collaborations tied to local culture.
In this announcement, it was also revealed that brewery staff are expected to visit on the evening of May 2. It should be a great chance to enjoy, in one place, beers from Sado Island that are not easy to find in Sapporo or elsewhere in Hokkaido. A Tap Takeover is appealing because it lets you try labels that are usually hard to encounter one keg at a time. It is drawing attention as an event that fits easily into Golden Week plans for meals or bar hopping.
For a few days, beer brewed in Sado will fill the taps in Sapporo. Whether as a drink on a trip or as a tasting session close to home, it seems like an event that broadens the ways it can be enjoyed.
