Highbury -The Cave of Beer- to host Locobeer Bitter launch on June 19
The Yokohama beer pub Highbury -The Cave of Beer- will host an unveiling event on June 19 for a Bitter collaboration from Locobeer and Jouyatou Living Nangyo Base. Locobeer brewmaster Motoyo Kagiya is also expected to be on site, with TRY IT ! and the brewery flagship Kono Nama slated to pour.
Hop BroSakuragicho has a night worth talking about: happening June 19, Highbury -The Cave of Beer- is hosting a launch event for a Locobeer collab Bitter.
MugiWhat! A beer pub launch party sounds great, and if it's a new Locobeer release, I suddenly walk a lot faster after work!
Hop BroThe star is an Ordinary Bitter at 4.0% called TRY IT !, brewed as a collaboration with Joyatou Living Nangyou Base.
MugiWait, what is Ordinary Bitter supposed to mean? The name sounds serious enough to make me panic a little!
Hop BroPeople misread it, but it's really about easy 4.0% drinking, a classic British style with gentle malt character rather than a brutal wall of bitterness.
MugiOhhh, that makes sense! So it's not a punishment beer, it's more like just give it a try!
Hop BroAnd Locobeer's head brewer, Momoyo Kagiya in person, is expected to be there, so you can hear the story behind the beer right across the counter.
MugiThat's so close! Getting direct brewer chat with your pint sounds like front-row seats for beer nerds.
Hop BroThey also plan to pour Locobeer's flagship Kaori no Nama, so comparing it with TRY IT ! should make the different faces of Bitter really clear.
MugiAnd since this follows that 2023 anniversary collab with Golden Bitter Harecha, my expectations are officially high. This calls for a pregame pint right now!
At Highbury -The Cave of Beer- in the Sakuragicho area of Yokohama, an unveiling event for a Bitter collaboration between Locobeer and Jouyatou Living Nangyo Base is scheduled for Friday, June 19. The post presents the event as an emergency pop-up-style announcement at the CAVE location, and says Locobeer brewmaster Motoyo Kagiya is expected to be in the pub as well. It is the kind of setting where drinkers can enjoy the beer and also hear the story behind it over the bar.
The featured beer is Ordinary Bitter 4.0% “TRY IT !”. In the post, it is described as a beer with the message of “just try it,” making the Bitter style the center of the event. The announcement also notes that Locobeer’s flagship “Kono Nama” is expected to be on tap, giving visitors a chance to taste one of the brewery’s core beers alongside the collaboration release.
The event also sits within a longer collaboration history. The post recalls a previous anniversary release, Golden Bitter 4.0% “Harecha”, brewed with Matsuri Brewery for a 2023 milestone. In other words, this is not just a one-off pour, but part of an ongoing exchange between breweries and the Highbury community. For beer fans in Yokohama, it should be a good chance to compare a fresh collaboration Bitter with a familiar Locobeer classic in a pub that values cask beer and conversation.
