Bread Ale Brewery in Chofu, Tokyo, will set up a booth at the first-ever “Chofu Minna no Beer Festival,” held on April 18 and 19. Eight breweries along the Keio Line and five local food vendors will gather, turning “Tetsumichi” in front of Chofu Station into a beer event venue.
Hop BroBread Ale Brewery from Sengawa is taking part in Chofu’s first-ever beer festival. At Tetsumichi in front of the station, this is the kind of event that gets you excited before you’ve even had a drink.
MugiWait, it’s being held right in front of Chofu Station!? A beer event that close by is so easy to get to!
Hop BroAnd it’s not just Bread Ale Brewery participating. Eight breweries along the line are gathering together. Being able to compare so many unique Keio Line breweries all at once is seriously exciting.
MugiWhoa, it’s a tasting paradise! But when you start listing brewery names, my brain suddenly feels like it’s taking a test.
Hop BroThe lineup includes TEGAMISHA BREWERY, Isana Brewing, 26K Brewery, RIOT BEER, Three Arrows Brewing, FC Tokyo, and OUR DAYs Brewery & Club house. There are also five local food vendors, so you can have fun matching beers with snacks too.
MugiHehe, being able to enjoy beer and food together is the best! I can already see myself saying, ‘I’m just going to have one before heading home,’ and then not leaving.
Hop BroWhat makes Bread Ale Brewery interesting is that it uses bread as a raw ingredient. The idea of making beer from bread that would otherwise be discarded sounds like it could bring out a toasty aroma and gentle umami, which is irresistible.
MugiWait, beer made from bread!? So that’s like breakfast and an evening drink teaming up!
Hop BroExactly. When you hear about this kind of thing, it’s not just a novelty; it also makes you think about the local circular economy. Brewing rooted in the community gives both the flavor and the story more depth.
MugiAnd the venue is right by Chofu Station, too? It sounds like the kind of event I could just drop by after work, which makes it almost too tempting.
Hop BroIt’s on April 18 and 19 from 11:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and the light-rain-or-shine policy makes it easy to plan for. If I could enjoy a Keio Line beer all in one place in Chofu, I’d head there right after closing up shop.
MugiYes, yes, I want to go right now too! Just imagining the aroma from Bread Ale Brewery’s beer makes my mouth water.
Hop BroThen it’s settled. Let’s toast in Chofu and compare the bread-based specialty beer with the breweries along the line.
MugiAgreed! If we toast at the beer festival, there’s no way we’ll want to go home!

Expansion Unique to a First-Time Event
