MugiWait, beer on a station rooftop!? And you can bring in your own snacks too? That sounds way too free-form!
Hop BroExactly. The venue is Soramoa Plaza on the 9th floor of minamoa・ekie, so having a rooftop venue directly connected to the station is a big plus. It runs from 10:00 to 20:00 on March 28 and from 10:00 to 18:00 on March 29, and it’s great that it goes ahead rain or shine.
MugiWow! But with eight breweries gathering, how are you supposed to drink through it? I feel like I’d get lost!
Hop BroIn addition to the Hiroshima breweries, Y.MARKET BREWING from Aichi, NOVORU BREWING from Miyazaki, and FLORA FERMENTATION from Shiga will be there too, so you can taste and compare the character of each region. It’s like going on a nationwide tour without leaving Hiroshima Station. That’s the fun of the event.
MugiTastings are fun, but names like stout and IPA already sound like magic spells to me!
Hop BroPut simply, stout is a dark style with roasted notes, while IPA puts hop aroma and bitterness in the spotlight. GROUNDTAP BREWERY has a range that goes from black beer to IPA, so even beginners should be able to feel the differences clearly.
MugiI see! And they use uchinuki brewing water from Saijo, so caring about the water makes it sound even more delicious!
Hop BroThat’s an important point, because good water tends to show up in the shape of the flavor. Recently, beers like GROUNDTAP STOUT, TSURUGI, and KOHARU have been featured, so it’s great that you can expect a wide-ranging lineup.
MugiShopping at the station and then drinking on the rooftop with snacks sounds amazing! This is definitely the kind of event that takes you past a first beer of the weekend and all the way to a second one!

GROUNDTAP BREWERY Highlights
GROUNDTAP BREWERY is a brewery from Saijo City, Ehime Prefecture, that uses the spring water “uchinuki” as its brewing water, fitting for a “water city.” In its recent announcements, a broad lineup can be seen, from stout to IPA and fruit beers, including the black beer `GROUNDTAP STOUT`, the American IPA `TSURUGI`, and `KOHARU` made with Hime Koharu citrus. No specific beers have been announced in advance this time, but it will be interesting to see which kegs appear.
The venue is an easy-to-enjoy rooftop space under the mild spring weather. Since visitors can pair drinks with snacks chosen inside minamoa, it is well suited not only for beer on its own, but also for leisurely tastings while having a light meal. It is easy to stop by during a trip through Hiroshima Station or while shopping, making it an event that works well for both the first drink and the second one of the weekend.
