Hop BroTorii-do Brewery in Kanuma is doing a half-anniversary week from July 31 to August 4. They’re expanding from the usual 6 taps to 10 and rotating in one limited keg after another.
MugiWhat! A 10-tap lineup is basically a festival! My neck is going to get a workout just deciding where to look first!
Hop BroAnd the lineup is stacked. There’s a daiginjo sake-kasu beer with Maenikko sake brewery in Kanuma, plus a coffee weizenbock with THE KICHI near Nikko Station.
MugiWait, weizenbock sounds like a special move! As a drink, what does that even taste like?
Hop BroIt blends the soft aroma of a wheat beer with the richer body of a bock. Then coffee joins in, so banana notes and roast are basically shaking hands in the same glass.
MugiWhoa, shaking hands in a glass is a lot to process, but it definitely sounds delicious! That feels like something I could drink as dessert too!
Hop BroAnd that’s not all. There’s an alternate Hazy IPA, a meat-friendly beer with jalapeno, a tomato beer, and even a raspberry smoothie sour.
MugiSeriously, a jalapeno beer is wild! Add tomato and now the fridge section is getting way too opinionated!
Hop BroThat’s the fun part. A Hazy IPA is an IPA with haze and juicy, fruit-like aroma. And these are poured one keg at a time in a relay-style rotation, so the view changes every time you visit.
MugiThat rules! It’s like luck of the taps to see what’s still on, which makes it feel even more like an event. I’d want to peek in every day from July 31 to August 4!
Hop BroWhat Torii-do Brewery does well is turn Kanuma’s water, produce, and ties with local businesses into beer. This event really tastes like local Kanuma character, and honestly, I already want a glass.
MugiSame here! I’m already torn between starting with the coffee weizenbock or the sake-kasu beer. I want to drink now!
Event Overview
Toriidou Brewery will run a half-anniversary week from Friday, July 31, through Wednesday, August 4. During the event, the brewery will expand its beer lineup from the usual six taps to ten taps and offer a broader selection of limited beers.
Featured Lineup
In the post, Toriidou highlighted several examples of the beers planned for the week. These include a daiginjo sake-kasu beer made in collaboration with Maenikko Brewery, a coffee Weizenbock created with Brewery & Cafe THE KICHI near Nikko Station, and a new version of a Hazy IPA that had sold out quickly after a previous release. The lineup also mentions a jalapeño beer designed to pair with meat, a tomato-based beer, and a raspberry smoothie sour.
How It Will Be Served
The brewery says the limited beers will be offered one keg at a time, with each beer replaced by the next limited release once it sells out. The lineup may change without notice, so the event is set up as a rotating tap takeover rather than a fixed menu.
