Hop BroBar So-ma in Tōbu-Nerima is teasing a TTO on Saturday, 4/25. Just being 17 years old is exciting enough, and now Rio Brewing and Miyata Beer are lined up together too. That's basically a dream tap collaboration.
MugiWait, what's TTO? Is it something like taking over the whole tap system? An anniversary celebration that big sounds like it's going to be a blast!
Hop BroExactly. A tap takeover is an event where a specific brewery brings in a bunch of kegs at once and fills the bar's lineup with its beers. The key point here is that you'll be able to compare Rio Brewing from Chiba and Miyata Beer from Oshiage on Bar So-ma's taps.
MugiOhhh! Chiba and Oshiage together is fun even just looking at it on a map. The flavor direction probably feels totally different too, and tasting them side by side sounds like pure happiness for the brain!
Hop BroThat expectation is pretty much right. The announcement is still only a preview, but it says there will likely be special pours, so the anniversary-event excitement is already running high.
MugiWait, there's more than beer? Ostrich dishes too? What kind of party is this!? They're really going all out with the info, and I can't stop laughing!
Hop BroThat's the playful side of Bar So-ma. It's set up as a day to drink, eat, and enjoy, and it sounds like there will be food from around Tōbu-Nerima as well as ostrich dishes from Ikeno, so it's a lineup that should keep the beer flowing.
MugiThat's amazing! Drinking slowly in a basement space near the station gives it such a hidden-gem vibe, too. I'm getting excited just thinking about it.
Hop BroExactly. Bar So-ma is a beer pub in Kitamachi, Nerima City, Tokyo, and it's already a place where you can enjoy craft beer in a calm atmosphere, so an anniversary TTO is a really good fit.
MugiAt this point, there's nothing to do but keep that date open! For Saturday, 4/25, I'm getting ready to drink and leaving plenty of room in both my stomach and my heart while we wait for the next update!
