Hop BroToday's headline is Craft Beer Grand Prix 2026. Nagara Kikorin Brewery posted its menu teaser on Instagram on August 14, 2026, and it will be at Kinshi Park from September 4 to 6.
MugiFree admission for that much temptation? Wait, a whole lineup of breweries gathering at Kinshi Park Fureai Plaza is exactly how my weekend plans get hijacked!
Hop BroNagara Kikorin Brewery is basically a satoyama brewery in Chiba. It's a small brewery in Nagara, Chosei District, brewing close to the woods and leaning into a woodcutter-style local identity.
MugiA woodcutter perspective? What is that, drinking the forest air? And the beer name is Kikorin Nama? I'm already curious on the name alone!
Hop BroThat part really stands out. The first image puts BEER Kikorin Nama front and center, so it feels like their featured pour for the event.
MugiBut wait, do we know the beer style label yet? IPA, lager, something! I like nodding like I know things before I order!
Hop BroA style is basically a blueprint for flavor. They haven't announced the exact style yet, but 'nama' suggests fresh draft service from the keg, and figuring it out on site is half the fun.
MugiOkay, a blueprint! So this turns into a live taste detective moment. And with visitor voting too, I'm about to look weirdly serious between sips!
Hop BroAnd it's not just beer, they're also pushing food pairing. You get to compare pours with dishes, which makes the whole event feel very well built.
MugiSee, 'pairing' sounds fancy, but it really means great with food, right? If so, I am fully qualified to participate!
Hop BroExactly. At Kinshi Park Fureai Plaza from September 4 to 6, my first sip has to be Kikorin Nama on draft.
MugiI'm done for, my throat already reacted. The first thing I want is a cup of Kikorin Nama and I want it immediately!
