Hop BroA three-brewery tap takeover lands at Craft Beer Market Sendai Ekimae on Friday, October 9, 2026. ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS, HAKUBA CRAFT, and Kibou no Oka Brewery will all be pouring.
MugiWhat?! We can skip the brewery hopping and try all three in one place? That is a beer trip from Ishinomaki to Hakuba without leaving Sendai!
Hop BroExactly. ISHINOMAKI HOP WORKS is based in Ishinomaki, Miyagi, and its signature move is using hops grown in-house.
MugiThey grow their own hops too? What is this—farm-to-pint magic? Beer has agriculture credits now!
Hop BroPretty much. Hops give beer aroma and bitterness, so growing them lets a brewery shape flavor from the field.
MugiNice! And what about Makikaze Ale? The name alone makes me feel like I should drink it outside with dramatic wind effects.
Hop BroMakikaze Ale has fruity aroma and a pleasant bitterness. Makikaze IPA brings citrus-like, juicy character. IPA is a style where hops take center stage.
MugiI thought IPA was just the scary bitter beer test! If it smells like citrus, I can climb that flavor wall.
Hop BroHAKUBA CRAFT draws on the water and landscape of Nagano's mountain region, while Kibou no Oka Brewery makes locally rooted Miyagi beer.
MugiWe can compare aroma, bitterness, and body! Wait—body means texture, right? No beer muscle inspection required?
Hop BroNo flexing needed. Body means how light or full the beer feels in your mouth. Pair it with gyoza or spicy dishes and find your perfect pour.
MugiIt is near Sendai Station, on the first floor of Daiwa Roynet Hotel Sendai Nishiguchi. Check Instagram for the lineup, time, and prices—then save October 9 for cheers!
